“As your State Senator, I bring experience as a scientist, healthcare professional, mom, and proud military parent to address local priorities amid federal and economic uncertainty. I have a strong record of fighting for our shared values: affordable healthcare, reproductive freedom, support for immigrants, and a tax code that is fair to working people.”
(WA Secretary of State 2026 General Election Voters' Pamphlet) “I championed legislation to lower costs for working families, strengthen public education and childcare, support innovation and scientific research, ensure hospitals remain open, and protect Washingtonians from harmful federal overreach.”
