If you’re working hard and still falling behind, something’s wrong.

Housing is too expensive. Childcare is too hard to find. Groceries and bills keep going up. I hear it everywhere I go.

I will fight for more affordable housing, better access to childcare, and real relief for working families and seniors who are doing everything right and still getting squeezed.

Rural communities don’t need to be talked about—we need to be invested in.

I will fight for better roads, stronger ports, reliable water and sewer systems, and real high-speed internet in every part of this district.

If we want jobs and housing, we need the infrastructure to support them. I’m going to push to make sure our communities aren’t left behind.

I want kids in this district to have a real shot at a good life without having to leave home to find it.

That means strong public schools, support for our teachers, and real pathways after graduation—whether that’s college, apprenticeships, or going straight into a good-paying job.

Not every kid needs a four-year degree. But every kid deserves a future.

I’m the union jobs candidate. I come from this work, and I know what it means to earn a living with your hands and depend on a steady paycheck.

I will fight for the jobs that built this district—timber, mills, ports, fishing, shellfish, and the trades—and I’ll push to bring new manufacturing and skilled jobs here so the next generation has a reason to stay.

We shouldn’t have to leave home to make a decent living. I’m going to fight to make sure you don’t.

I don’t just talk about workers. I come from labor.

I will stand up for unions, protect collective bargaining, defend pensions, support apprenticeship programs, and make sure public money creates good-paying local jobs—not a race to the bottom.

If you work for a living, I’m on your side. Simple as that.

I’m a lifelong Washingtonian. I take this district seriously.

I’m not interested in online fights, insults, or harassing the people I’m supposed to represent. We’ve seen enough of that.

I believe leadership means showing up, listening, and treating people with respect—even when you don’t agree with them.

You deserve someone who focuses on the job, not someone who spends their time tearing people down.
