| Collapse all
Government should serve the people. Our individual Rights are the most important thing our government should protect. Government in Washington has overstepped its boundaries. As one of many who lost jobs, businesses, property, religious and medical rights, due to unconstitutional mandates, I will
fight for you.- Restore our basic Constitutional Rights including free speech, religious freedoms, the right to bear arms without infringements, to be secure in one’s person, and State shell not deprive any person of life, liberty or property. Medical freedom should be a given. One should not be forced to inject anything into one’s body in order to be employed or, if refuse, to be fired.
- Protect parental rights and demand excellence in schools. Parents should have the right to choose the education we want for our children. As your Representative, I will advocate for school vouchers where money follows the child, cut bureaucracy, and high administrative salaries, and ensure transparency in the curriculum.
- Rebuild our economy by minimizing government intrusion into private businesses and lowering taxes. Over taxation, inflation, drive people into poverty and out of their homes, it drives businesses out of business and out of state. I will work to lower taxes, for accountable spending of your hard-earned money, to cut unnecessary and unjustified programs, and reduce bureaucracy at the state level.
Many Washington residents lost their jobs over the last year because they chose religious and medical freedom. We now have shortages of first responders, health care workers, ferry workers, state workers and private sector workers. Many military personnel were also forced out of the service. I was just one of thousands this happened to all over our state. And it was totally unnecessary. I will be a voice for these people. This should never happen again, and with the majority in Olympia now, it easily could.
That made me even more wanting to escape the country and that oppressive regime.
