|- I am fighting for a Public Citizen's takeover of our healthcare financing system. Expanded and Improved Medicare for All at the state level initially that would lead our nation to full Medicare for All!
- We need to listen to our scientists and do what we need to do to save our planet. If we had taken to heart the platform of the republican party in 1956 we would not be where we are today. We need to stop being a parasite on this planet and learn to work synergistically with Mother Earth.
- With the money we take back from our healthcare system we can work on all our other problems like Housing, Food Insecurity, Education and a jobs for everyone that pays a living wage and allows for a balanced Work/Home life.

|I am a proud wife and mother of 3 Sons, 4 Granddaughters & 2 Grandsons and volunteer as a board member of Whole Washington, Inc. Board and One Payer States, Inc.
I have been a Registered Nurse in Washington for over 30 years working in Oncology, Critical Care, IV Therapy, Hospice Care, Nursing Admin, and recently opened MacLeod House Adult Family Home.
I have been an active member of WSNA and SEIU nurse Unions serving as a Grievance Officer, Negotiating team member, Local Unit chair and National Delegate.
- As a Nurse I am committed to achieving Expanded and Improved Medicare for All. At the state level we can assist with this by enacting legislation like the Whole Washington Health Trust which will save our state 9 billion dollars a year while providing our residents comprehensive, universal healthcare to all of our citizens in Washington.
- We need to immediately work on implementing the Green New Deal here in Washington. This will require us to make tough changes. There will be winners and there will be losers, but we have no choice. These decisions have needed to be made for decades. We cannot continue to elect the same old politicians from the 2 major parties and expect different results.
- We need to elect representatives who will represent the views and the needs of their constituents, not the corporations that line our representatives pockets and so we must get the money out of politics. I believe we need to publicly funded elections in order to allow regular people the ability to serve as representatives of their communities.
I am also very concerned about climate change. It is probably the most important issue of our time right now. Every other area of policy development is dependent on us having a healthy, livable planet. We must address her needs first and foremost and we must accept that her needs are more important than our short term profits and conveniences. Our children's future depends on us making wise but difficult choices now!
I had several high school teachers who I looked up to and several who showed me who I did not want to emulate. Certainly my father's best friend, Ernie Oliver, was a person whom I always admired as a retired Colonel in the US Army. I was so impressed with how he then became an elementary school teacher and worked in the poorest areas of Tacoma. I am certain that he influenced many young children of color for the good.
Along with that will be the need to provide healthcare for our residents. We can do this at the state level and we can use the money saved to avoid the upcoming projected budget cuts due to this pandemic.
We need to get the money out of our politics. We need elected officials who will represent us and we can achieve that by having public funding of elections.
