Thanks to your continuing support, I am serving my 8th term in the Washington State Legislature as the Chair of the Technology, Economic Development, and Veterans Committee. I would be honored to continue to serve the citizens of the 32nd Legislative District in the State Senate and I ask for your support once again on November 3rd, 2026. 

I have focused on 

• Supporting families, safeguarding essential services, and making people-first policy decisions. 

• Values-driven governance rather than austerity 

• Fully funding education remains a high priority.

I helped with:

• A budget that prioritizes education, housing, health care and essential services in a fiscally responsible manner, preparing for future financial challenges.

• Investments in community safety and ensure equity and accountability.  

• A $15.45 billion transportation budget focused on maintenance, ferry improvements, and long-term decarbonization, aligning infrastructure progress with climate and equity goals.

• Updating the Clean Fuels & Climate Commitment Act and passing the Right to Repair bill to reduce e-waste and to keep digital access affordable. 

I opposed efforts to weaken gun safety laws and restrict rights. 

I championed a more transparent, equitable, and supportive future for Washington residents, with significant achievements in consumer protection, public safety, and equity. 

I am an effective legislator with consequential bills signed into law by Governor Ferguson:

• Strengthening consumer protections in service contracts (HB 1006)

• Codifying as a criminal act the spread of AI-generated deep fake impersonations (HB 1205)

• Enhancing funding flexibility for Public Facilities Districts (HB 1109)

• Expanding job mobility for licensed cosmetologists including military spouses (HB 1023) 

• Reinforcing hate crimes accountability (HB 1052)

Pushing Back against the Trump administration

• On new federal mandates on state election procedures

• FEMA policy changes which restrict access to disaster relief following wildfires, floods, and other emergencies

• We must prioritize inclusivity, ensuring all students receive a safe and high-quality education regardless of status. 

• Restricting international student access will damage our state’s global reputation, hinder innovations in fields like AI and health sciences, and miss out on their contribution of $917 million to Washington state’s economy.
