Statement
I fight for bold climate action and to lower costs for working families. I helped cap rent increases. We taxed millionaires to provide free lunches for kids, healthcare, and tax relief for small businesses and low-income families. We developed Washington’s energy strategy to reduce pollution and reduce energy costs. I’ve helped fund new ferries, clean energy development, mental health treatment in Whatcom and Skagit Counties, and a record number of affordable homes. Endorsed by Washington Conservation Action and unions representing nurses and firefighters. I’m 100% pro-choice. I’m voting no on all statewide initiatives and ask you to join me.
