Campaign themes

2016

Courtney's campaign website highlighted the following issues:

“

FIRST STEPS

  • Every candidate for legislator should tell you the first steps they will take in Olympia. These will be my first policy initiatives:
  • Minimum requirements for diversity on corporate boards - Too many corporate boards have little to no representation from women or people of color. Too many corporate boards are represented by white men, who have never faced a gender pay gap, microaggression or discrimination based on race. There is a national movement to increase diversity on corporate boards and Washington State should lead the way.
  • Jumpstart the move to a green economy - The biggest single obstacle to reducing overall carbon production is our reliance on the automobile. Our state can keep leading the way by making sure all new residential construction is ready with the capacity and infrastructure necessary to support electric cars.
  • Ensure local cities can regulate rental increases - Seattle is becoming increasingly unaffordable. Some tenants see their rents double with no notice. What legislation can the city pass to help stablize rents? Absolutely none. The state of Washington supercedes local control over rental regulations leaving local cities no tools to regulate even the most egregious increases in rents. The state simply needs to allow local cities the authority to regulate rental laws so tenants are not forced out of their homes by unscrupulous landlords.[1]
