“As your State Representative, I’ve led the fight to protect abortion access, tackle climate change, and make housing and healthcare affordable. I’ve championed landmark laws to prevent rent gouging and enact historic tax fairness to fund schools and childcare, lower costs for working families and seniors, and cut small business taxes.”
(WA Secretary of State 2026 General Election Voters' Pamphlet) “I’ve worked to reduce gun violence, address the fentanyl crisis, and protect immigrant and LGBTQ+ neighbors from hateful federal overreach. With your continued support, I’ll keep advancing economic fairness and opportunity for everyone.”
(WA Secretary of State 2026 General Election Voters' Pamphlet) “Working for justice, safety, and equity is deeply personal for me. My grandmother left an abusive spouse to safeguard herself and three children; a brave decision that shaped three generations in our family.”

“Every Washingtonian deserves a great school, a walkable neighborhood, an affordable home, and a government that prioritizes people over profit. My experiences as a gay man, the son of a teacher, and a resident director have taught me the value of listening, serving others, and building community.”
