Retired after 30 years of medical practice, it is time to see if we can create a better world for the next generations. I have raised my son as a single parent and appreciate the challenges facing our families and our society.
I am an active, 20 year member of the 32nd LD Democrats and elected precinct committee officer for the past 10 years. Over that time we have witnessed the hostile incursion into our community by unelected, outside corporate interests spending overwhelming amounts of dark money evading transparency and accountability. We are better than that.
- Healthcare and access to healthcare is a priority - in particular mental health
- Affordable Housing Now
- Environmental Protection
I am a physician who believes in safe, healthy communities, environmental justice, housing as a human right and first responders that foster public safety. My flag is firmly planted in the House of Labor and I stand for universal, single-payer health care.
My vision is to serve as an elected official who represents and responds to the needs and wishes of the people who elect me. My vote and voice cannot be purchased by dark money and their SUPER PACS. Our responsibility as citizens is to fight for transparent and accountable political campaigns and democratic governance that can help us defend our Republic.

Our responsibility as citizens is to fight for transparent and accountable political campaigns and democratic governance that can help us defend our Republic.
I look up to the history of Eleanor Roosevelt and would like to follow in her example. Her work in establishing the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is a prime example of moving the global community from a position of competition and difference with one another to a position of similarity. I admire her courage in facing criticism.
Integrity (which includes honesty), civility, and respect of the importance of every stakeholder on every issue. An elected official should be able to make all stakeholders concerns and experiences an integral dimension of the design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of policies and programs in all political, economic and societal spheres so that all benefit equally and inequality is not perpetuated.
Individuals are elected to “represent” the voters and residents of their district not simply the contributors to their political campaign. In that representation, an elected official swears to uphold the constitutions of their state and the federal government. Elected officials have citizens voting on the one hand, and on the other hand, they have the “rules of the road” – the constitutions. If we do not like the “rules of the road” both constitutions have provided a means to change or amend the constitutions. Unfortunately, elected officials are attempting to amend both constitutions by legislation and that is a very dubious endeavor.
Elected officials in the State of Washington swear to abide by the constitutions – they give their word. Therefore, I think another important responsibility is to keep your word and do not lie.

I would like to be known as a “Drum Major for Justice” and an elected official who honestly and faithfully did my best to defend democracy and my country.
I was 12 when the assassination of John F. Kennedy occurred. I do remember his inauguration as well.
Working in a bakery for one summer
Guinevere. I would be loyal to King Arthur and his struggle to elevate society, avoiding warfare. Might is not Right.
hallelujah by Leonard Cohen
Friendly and with strong communication offering the ability to discuss and evaluate differences.
The distribution of income and wealth and the upside down tax structure in which low income earners pay 17% of their income in taxes while high income earners pay 2%. This results in the majority of residents without sufficient income to have a reasonable standard of living. Almost 50% of the low income earners in our state are paying almost 50% of their income for housing. We need to provide publicly subsidized housing. But not in the style of public housing called “Projects” such as in the 1960’s. Areas that have more integration of varying incomes. One model is found in Vienna.
I think both sides of that question can be argued. Experience and institutional history are very valuable. However that can also lead to opinions that become cemented rather than innovative. Fresh ideas for actual solutions are also needed.
We all have to work together and must recognize our similarities as human beings all sharing the same human rights. If all we see in another are the points of disagreements, it is extremely difficult to work collaboratively toward solutions.
Fair commissions that do not favor any political party.
I want to serve on the health and long term care committee, the housing committee, and the environmental issues committee.
Not locally. But I like to hear stories of Tip O’Neill (federal) and his ability to be strong yet remember the quality of remaining friends.
I have to get elected to the Washington State Senate before I would consider any other office. I am primarily interested in the public policy issues impacting the State of Washington.
The current environment of exorbitant housing and rental prices are affecting many, including my son and his new wife. I have heard from several people who are considering moving as far as out of state to find more affordability. This will eventually lead to reduction in some of the work force that many of us rely on, and separation of families.
Given the fact that we live in an earthquake zone, I want the legislature to have the power to respond in a responsible manner. I believe in resilience and preparedness.
Yes, sometimes you have to make progress incrementally to ultimately reach your goals.
