And I’m running to be your State Representative
in the 17th LD, Position 1.
I am running for the Washington House of Representatives 17th Legislative District. Many of you know me as a 2021 Clark County Charter Commissioner.
This year, the United States Supreme Court ended the freedom women were guaranteed under the constitution to make their own reproductive health care decisions.
The Supreme Court left these laws up to states to decide whether abortion is legal.
With 80% of our state legislature up for election, this year is critical to keeping Washington a Pro- Choice State. We need to ensure that no one gets elected who will ban abortions in the state of Washington.
Reproductive Healthcare is on the ballot in Washington regardless of whether or not we’re voting on a ballot measure, because when it comes down to it, this is a states’ rights issue at this point. Who we elect to the state Legislature has enormous impact as to whether or not we are going to have a state government that will affirm people’s ability to access health care, or will work to chip away at it incrementally, as we’ve seen over the last 50 years in states leading up to the Supreme Court overturn of Roe v Wade in June. We are watching women’s rights slide backwards.
Recent events have shown us that we need to be vigilant. During an endorsement interview with the Columbian my opponent stated unequivocally that should he be elected, he would vote to ban abortion in Washington. We need to make sure that he does not win this election and have an opportunity to take away our rights and put lives at risk. Our campaign to fight back is energizing women across the district and our volunteer list is growing. Our campaign against an opponent that stated he would vote to ban abortion is to protect and promote reproductive rights and freedoms in Washington. We must work together to ensure every person has access to lifesaving care in Washington for generations to come.
I am endorsed by nurses, teachers, first responders…working people!
As a 25-year ICU nurse and working person, I understand the challenges that working families face today. I promise to put the working people of Southwest Washington first. Times are tough for frontline workers, small business owners and working folks. I will support a strong economy by investing in our communities. My priorities include energy independence, jobs, affordable healthcare, housing and childcare, championing new infrastructure and broadband, supporting and fully funding public safety and strengthening education. I will work to assure that Southwest Washington thrives and prospers, and our future is bright. Now is the time for solutions!
I am about civility, building community and I will work collaboratively to:
