Linda Wright was a 2016 Democratic candidate for District 39-Position 1 of the Washington House of Representatives. She ran unsuccessfully for the same seat in 2012.

Campaign themes

2016

Wright's campaign website highlighted the following issues:

“

What do seniors want?

  • Affordable safe living environment.
  • Transportation & Independence.
  • Cut the red tape on Medicare & Social Security.

Education

  • I also believe in fully funding education, smaller class sizes, appropriate testing, with the teachers input.

Cost of Living

  • A continued Cost of Living Adjustment. Inflation never goes away we have to stop playing the catch up game. And families having to work two and three jobs just to survive. It puts an undue burden on our families and spending quality time with our children.

There must be accountability in government.

  • Government should stop trying to balance the budget on the backs of our seniors and our most vulnerable.
  • Stop the waste and misuse of our tax dollars.[1]
 ”
—Linda Wright[2]
