| Collapse all
We need to insure adequate hospital/shelter space to address the mental health, drug addiction, and financial hardships in the homeless population. We can revert to our 2013-15 spending level, and use the savings to buy healthcare for every Washingtonian.
We must bring back critical manufacturing lost to economic globalism. This will Reduce our current supply chain fragility and inflation. Nuclear is the only power source that is currently reliable and technologically mature enough to replace fossil fuel plants. Nuclear is also the only power source that can reduce our reliance on the foreign dictators that currently supply our oil, natural gas, and rare earth minerals.
We should decouple school funding from property taxes. A quality education should not depend on your zip code. We should consider giving the children in schools, that consistently fail to provide proficiency in reading/writing/math, other options for their education.
I support Right to Repair, Ranked Choice Voting, and Emergency Power Reform.- There are rough times ahead for our economy. We can can mitigate the worst of these coming problems by bringing back the manufacturing and jobs that have been sent overseas.
- We can protect our environment and our economy at the same time, by transitioning from fossil fuels to nuclear energy. Nuclear is reliable, clean, safe, and can remove us from the global energy markets that are controlled by foreign dictators.
- Homelessness is getting worse by the day. We must ensure that we have adequate shelter/hospital space for all those in need.
I want to bring back the jobs that we have been given away to our overseas competitors, because I believe that it is important for us to once again make stuff here. This can provide every Washingtonian a living wage, dignity, and a stable economy.
I want to protect our environment and our economy by transitioning our coal and natural gas power plants to nuclear power. Eventually solar and wind power might be able to take nuclear power's place, but that will require decades to innovation in battery/storage technology.
Nobody should be living on our streets. We need to provide the shelter/hospital space necessary to provide the time and treatment needed to get our homeless neighbors back on their feet.
I believe that Ranked Choice Voting can be an antidote to our current political decisiveness. It can allow us to pick politicians with consensus, rather than the lesser of two evils.
I believe in democracy and that executive emergency powers should have a democratic check and balance against them. When a governor declares and emergency, and claims emergency powers, these powers should have to be periodically approved by the legislature.
