| Collapse all
I firmly believe in, “Nothing about us without us.” Those who are most affected by a decision deserve to be in the room where it happens, and must be a part of not only making that decision but leading the decision making. I always try to view my policies through an intersectional lens. Who will be most uplifted by this policy, and were they a part of the creation process? I strive to bring not only my political advocacy experience as a member of the Transit Riders Union, the South King County Branch of Seattle DSA, and Progressive Victory-- but to bring my lived experience as a disabled, queer, and working class person to the forefront of my work. I believe policy must be well researched, and rooted in the community.
We will achieve a society where everyone thrives by building a large enough table for everyone to sit at while bringing as many people into the democratic process as possible.- Yes to Progressive Revenue sources. We must overhaul Washington States regressive tax code, but in the meantime cities must establish new funding through progressive revenue sources. I am running on policies like a Warehouse Square Footage Tax, Gradual Business Licensing Rates, a Non-Resident Congestion Pricing for Tukwila International Blvd, and many other changes modeled off of well researched models proven to work in other countries.
- Yes to Housing. I believe in zoning reform and taking a more proactive approach to deal with the housing crisis. We will be building permanently affordable housing through the creation of the South King County Social Housing Developer to expand the work House Our Neighbors has done. We must bring the Seattle Social Housing model across King County.
- Yes to Public Transit We must be expanding and revitalizing public transit options via intercity coalitions to push for pre-COVID functioning levels, expanded bus routes and frequency, and bus stop revitalization into proper community third places.
My official first job with a W-2 was working as grocery retail clerk, checking and bagging goods. This was when I was about 14/15 until I was 18 and left my hometown.
