Get StartedOne way that we can make our state more stable and secure economically is to create a public bank. A public bank in Washington would allow the state to make critical investments in our economy. The concept is modeled after the Bank of North Dakota, it would be financed by the revenue from the state. The public bank would then leverage its capital into credit for projects supported by Washingtonians. This would bring needed capital to neglected investments and because the bank operates on a nonprofit basis—it would also provide much competition to the private sector banking and act as a financial support system for communities throughout the state including here in the 39th!

I support fair taxation, consumer protections, lower prescription drug costs, and investments in infrastructure and public services that reduce household financial burdens over time. Economic policy should be measured by whether ordinary people can build secure and dignified lives — not simply by stock prices, speculative growth, or corporate profits. Learn more
A healthy environment is essential to human dignity, public health, and economic security. I believe clean air, clean water, and climate stability are rights that belong to everyone — not privileges reserved for wealthy communities. Washington must lead in protecting forests, salmon, farmland, and public lands while accelerating the transition to affordable clean energy. I support policies that reduce pollution, strengthen climate resilience, and protect communities from wildfire smoke, flooding, and environmental hazards. Learn more
I believe affordability must be addressed through policies that put people ahead of concentrated corporate interests. I oppose shifting the benefits of Washington’s publicly developed water-generated energy away from citizens and small businesses toward massive data centers while residents face rising electricity bills. Public resources should first serve the public good. Learn more
Washington taxpayers already spend billions on fragmented systems that produce unequal outcomes and administrative waste, fraud and abuse. I believe in a human rights approach to healthcare. This means building a system where health care decisions are made by patients and medical professionals, not corporate middlemen. I believe public policy should be measured by outcomes: healthier families, lower costs, expanded access, and the dignity and security every person deserves. Learn more
I actively support moving Washington toward a universal, publicly accountable single-payer health care system that guarantees comprehensive care for every resident. No family should face bankruptcy because of illness, delay treatment because of cost, or lose coverage when changing jobs. Our health care system should prioritize prevention, mental health services, reproductive freedom, rural access, and long-term care — not insurance company profits or pharmaceutical price manipulation.

I support expanding affordable housing, protecting tenants from predatory practices, increasing homeownership opportunities, and investing in housing connected to transportation, education, and health services where appropriate, while still preserving our rural landscape and lifestyle. I believe public policy should prioritize human outcomes over corporate extraction. Our communities are strongest when teachers, nurses, tradespeople, seniors, and working families can afford to live where they work and participate fully in civic life. Housing policy should build stable communities — not maximize profits for absentee investors. Learn more
Housing is a human right — not merely a speculative investment or “yield-generating asset” for hedge funds and corporate landlords. I believe every Washington resident deserves access to safe, stable, and affordable housing. Washington’s housing crisis was created by policy choices that favored speculation while working families, seniors, veterans, and young people were priced out of their communities. Learn more
