Legislative District 48 - State Representative Pos. 2 · King County

Housing and healthcare costs are climbing faster than wages; education is underfunded; the climate crisis is here; working families are struggling with increasing prices. I’ve balanced billion-dollar municipal budgets, won tenant protections, secured $7.5M for housing and human services, improved financial transparency, championed small business pandemic support, and fought for LGBTQIA+ and immigrant communities. I’ll take my inclusive and pragmatic approach that led to these wins to Olympia to fight for all families. Endorsements: 48th District Democrats; King County Democrats; Washington State Labor Council; Insurance Commissioner Kuderer; Senator Slatter; Planned Parenthood Alliance Advocates; Redmond Firefighters; 60+ elected officials.

I’m a pragmatic governing Democrat who works across the aisle. I champion public safety, affordability, balanced budgets and fiscal responsibility. I stood up to the federal government by banning ICE from wearing masks and backfilling money cut from Planned Parenthood. As one of few small business owners in Olympia, I have focused on creating and protecting family wage jobs, particularly for small business and tech workers, which is why I voted no on the income tax.
