Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?
I’m running to give voters an alternative. I support lower taxes, transparency in government, public safety, rights of the vulnerable, parental rights, and First Amendment freedoms. Many voters, like me, have been ignored by our state representatives. We feel unheard as politicians pass tax increases, but not effective homelessness plans. We’re dismayed by harmful bills passed by the single-party-dominated legislature, including this year’s radical sexuality education bill opposed by thousands of Washington residents. If elected, I will protect your right to be heard and will protect the rights of the most vulnerable, especially our children. I would appreciate your vote.

Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Racism and other discrimination against people based on immutable characteristics violates the ideals of the American experiment and weakens us as a people. We are at our best when our government and our people work to treat everyone with justice and mercy.
