It is a privilege to serve in the legislature and I have loved my time representing you. My priorities reflect the values of our families and communities, and with your vote I will:
- Continue to create affordable housing options, and seek property tax relief for seniors.
- Address the homelessness and behavioral health crises. There should be no “wrong door” when it comes to behavioral health.
- Ensure working families have childcare, housing options close to services and fair treatment at work.
- Create a strong and compassionate human services safety net.
- Ensure that local governments, law enforcement, prosecutors, and advocates for survivors and safety have the tools they need.
- Reduce gun violence and suicide with effective laws and interventions.
- Protect our planet- our air and water, climate, plants, and animals.
Washington must remain a global economic leader– so we must ensure we encourage innovation, have a talented, well-educated community and a fair, transparent, and predictable tax code.
As a businessperson and formerly local government official, I have experience crafting and implementing thoughtful laws that improve lives. It is imperative that we bring people together – more voices make better policies and we must live our values with civil discourse and by working together to find solutions to our common problems.

From the Housing Advisory Plan. We have “lost years” when we didn’t allow for enough housing to be produced. We can and should partner with the private sector to attack supply. The public sector cannot build enough homes to meet our needs. High interest rates and long permit processing times make the challenges more difficult every day. Incentives to create housing and to convert existing structures should be embraced.

“I am happy to inform you that our 49,000 member organization, the Washington Federation of State Employees, voted to officially endorse your candidacy for Legislative District 48 – House 2.”
I am very honored by this endorsement! I’ve been supported by AFSME since I first ran for city council in 2009. That’s a lot of years of partnership!
