Topic headings are Vote Book’s; quoted words are each candidate’s own, with the source under each one. “As reported” items are a news outlet’s description, not an exact quote.
Health care
People with chronic diseases like diabetes shouldn’t be struggling with poor nutrition and worse health outcomes in a place that grows a quarter of the nation’s food.
Education
Washington used to believe that improving school was both important and possible, but after years of paralysis, our kids have been paying the price in lower reading scores and worse education outcomes.
Jobs, wages & cost of living
Finding a good-paying job to support a family on has gotten way too hard, but Valley organizations have already proven that evidence-based training can bridge that gap.
Elections, ethics & government
Our community is on the front lines of efforts to prevent a continental infestation, but we deserve more than just becoming the nation’s quarantine zone.
Elections, ethics & government
Raising rates year after year and using those payments to cut political ads and lobby government is an outrage, and it should be illegal.
Priorities
Mail theft is a serious crime that can devastate families, robbing people of their hard-earned money, exposing them to identity theft, and violating the basic sense of security we should all have in our own homes.
