“Washington deserves Democratic leaders who deliver on promises. As your Senator, I banned ICE facemasks, capped rent increases, led the fight to block AI-powered rent-raising schemes, ended sales taxes on nonprescription medicines and hygiene products, expanded low-income tax rebates for 460,000 additional households, and cut taxes on small businesses.”
(WA Secretary of State 2026 General Election Voters' Pamphlet) “After knocking on thousands of doors, I’ve heard you loud and clear: prices are out of control, and government needs to be more responsible with your tax dollars. I’ll audit spending, expand senior property-tax relief, stand up to ICE, and stop Trump chaos in our state.”
(WA Secretary of State 2026 General Election Voters' Pamphlet) “Protect Washington families with progressive, sustainable revenue. Shielding our state from federal attacks on healthcare requires stable funding that does not fall on working families.”
