Vision and Priorities
I believe the American Dream is still alive, but it’s getting harder to reach. America is built on innovation, forward-thinking leadership, and the dignity of hard work. That dream has always defined our country. I’m running for Congress to keep that dream within reach for working families and ensure the next generation has the same chance to build a meaningful life.
Small businesses are the backbone of Washington’s 8th District. When small businesses are strong, communities are strong, workers have opportunity, and the American Dream is real.
In Congress, I will work to ensure Washington supports the people who create jobs, not just corporations with teams of lobbyists and lawyers.
Local owners, not distant bureaucracies, should be empowered to make decisions that are best for their employees and communities. That starts with lowering costs and removing barriers that hold small businesses back.
Working families shouldn’t feel squeezed from every direction. Groceries cost more. Energy costs more. Housing feels further out of reach. When Washington overspends and overregulates, families pay the price.
Lowering the cost of living starts with restoring fiscal responsibility in Congress. I will support responsible federal budgeting, oppose reckless spending that fuels inflation, and push for policies that protect the long-term stability of our economy. I support measures that prevent large institutional investors from crowding out families in the single-family housing market and pricing out first-time buyers. Young families deserve a real chance at homeownership not competition from Wall Street-backed investment firms.
America moves forward when families can afford to live, save, and build a future with confidence.
Families deserve safe streets and peace of mind. No parent should worry about open drug use in public parks, rising fentanyl deaths, or repeat offenders cycling through the system.
Public safety starts with supporting well-trained and properly funded law enforcement. Officers need the tools, training, and backing to do their jobs effectively and keep our communities secure.
Public lands define Washington’s 8th District and deserve active care.
These lands aren’t abstract to me; they are part of how my family lives and explores this place we call home.
Responsible stewardship means more than preservation. It means reducing catastrophic wildfire risk, increasing active forest management, improving maintenance of trails and access roads, and ensuring public lands remain accessible for future generations.
We can’t confuse neglect with conservation.
America is strongest when our laws are enforced and our system works.
We need a secure border so we can stop trafficking and cartel activity and enforce immigration law consistently.
Washington’s farms, ranches, and food supply depend on a stable and legal workforce.
Immigration policy shouldn’t punish those who followed the rules or reward those who broke them. It should restore integrity, fairness, and confidence in our system.
