Ramiro Valderrama was a 2016 Republican candidate for District 45-Position 1 of the Washington House of Representatives.

Campaign themes

2016

Valderrama's campaign website highlighted the following issues:

“

Fiscal Responsibility

  • I am committed to efficiency in servicing our citizens with limited financial resources. To hold the line on taxes the Legislators must first prioritize needs, rein in spending, measure results and the expand use of partnerships.

Accountability and Transparency

  • It is imperative that citizens feel and see that the State, County and Cities are accountable to them. Citizens deserve to have sustainable budgets, a clear view into policymaking and ensure that processes are being followed without abuse. Transparency encourages greater citizen involvement and provides better services.

Respect and Balance for the Environment and Energy

  • We must protect and preserve our environment, water resources and open space in a sustainable manner that respects our citizens while sensitive to the environment and property. The State must also further build on our green hydropower and encourage more alternative clean energy sources.

Education

  • We are fortunate to have so many good schools in our district. However, across the state one out of four students fails to graduate from high school; this graduation rate is even worse for children of color or disadvantaged. In addition to choice schools for the disadvantaged we need systems for measurable improved learning and accountability

Stop ST3 (Light Rail) It is "Taxation Without Transportation:​

  • Costs too much - Permanent tax starts at $54B, average household of $700,000 will pay for ST2 and ST3 an additional $1,000 property tax plus $120 on car tabs plus an extra 50% on the sales tax for tax
  • Gives too little will only carry 5% of all riders and will not reduce congestions
  • Comes too late – rapid bus transit could come a decade earlier and be one tenth the cost
  • Obsolete – drive less cars/buses, intelligent connected vehicles and lights, van pools, uber/lyft carry more, cost less and more flexible to changing demographics.[1]
 ”
