It is a privilege to serve in the legislature and I have loved my time representing you. My priorities reflect the values of our families and communities, and with your vote I will:
- Continue to create affordable housing options, and seek property tax relief for seniors.
- Address the homelessness and behavioral health crises. There should be no “wrong door” when it comes to behavioral health.
- Ensure working families have childcare, housing options close to services and fair treatment at work.
- Create a strong and compassionate human services safety net.
- Ensure that local governments, law enforcement, prosecutors, and advocates for survivors and safety have the tools they need.
- Reduce gun violence and suicide with effective laws and interventions.
- Protect our planet- our air and water, climate, plants, and animals.
Washington must remain a global economic leader– so we must ensure we encourage innovation, have a talented, well-educated community and a fair, transparent, and predictable tax code.
As a businessperson and formerly local government official, I have experience crafting and implementing thoughtful laws that improve lives. It is imperative that we bring people together – more voices make better policies and we must live our values with civil discourse and by working together to find solutions to our common problems.

I hope folks are encouraged to get out and vote!
In August, I had the honor of attending the Democratic National Convention in Chicago with my daughter to support our democratic candidate, Kamala Harris! The energy in the room was electric! The election of Kamala Harris represents an overdue step towards gender equality and female empowerment, not only in the United States but around the world. The eyes of young girls are upon us, and we cannot let them down.
When I ran for office the first time I was encouraged and supported by other women and those women are still my mentors and friends. My daughter, Aunts, and sister have cheered me on and I carry them and my mother in my heart in my work in the legislature.
I am beyond grateful and excited for our country as we elect our first woman President.
As your State Representative, and with your support, I will continue to be brave, and to help move us towards a more just and equitable future for the 48th and beyond. As always, thank you for all of your gracious support!
