🧵Working families and small businesses deserve a bold agenda that actually puts them first. That is exactly what I am fighting for. I support real tax reform that gives Washingtonians breathing room as they face rising costs and uncertainty. If we can deliver meaningful…

I believe leadership is about showing up, listening & doing the work even when it’s hard. We need leaders with integrity, that bring people together & stay focused on delivering real results for our people. That kind of steady, values driven leadership matters now more than ever.

There’s broad, bipartisan support for fair taxation in our state. We can reduce taxes for 99.5% of Washingtonians while adequately funding our schools, infrastructure and critical support systems. Let’s do this for our working families and small businesses!

I 💯 agree. Wealth creation is good and striving to achieve a better life is important but it must be balanced with tax fairness. When the wealthiest pay their fair share, we can invest in working families, small businesses and a stronger economy that works for all of us.
We’ve reached a point where any mix of solutions to our nation’s economic problems is going to involve the wealthiest Americans contributing more.
