A Complaint is a Commitment
Announcing my candidacy—and asking you to join me
As anyone who knows me — my kid, my community, my friends — will tell you, I believe that once you’ve identified a problem, it’s time to get to work to fix it.
My personal motto is “a complaint is a commitment.”
What that means to me is that, if someone sees and speaks out about something, it then becomes their responsibility to work towards the solution — instead of waiting for someone else to fix it.
The more time I spend talking to my neighbors and friends in the 6th LD, the more I see the need to empower our communities to take our issues — our wishes, and our aspirations, our very real problems — and turn them from complaints into commitments.
Residents of our region are the experts about what they need — but often, they don’t feel like they have the voice or the opportunity to be a part of the solution.
Whether it’s the ability to help draft a proposal, come up with a brand-new partnership, or just meet their lawmaker face-to-face to talk it through, I believe that the absolute most important role of government is to listen to the people and work with them to help find those solutions.
A few of the solutions I’m most passionate about include:
- Providing affordable, adequate access to healthcare
- Bringing our insufficient schools up to the level our kids deserve
- Ensuring access to basic needs, like housing, heating, and clean, safe drinking water
- Leveling the playing field by ensuring that everyone can access and afford broadband internet in their homes and businesses
- Addressing our transportation needs, including crumbling roads, unreliable transit options, and unsafe infrastructure
I was born and raised on the east side of the mountains, and I know that our complaints are often dismissed in Olympia. That’s why I want to make a commitment to the people of this district to listen, to learn, and then to work toward a solution.
When we stand together there is nothing we can’t do.
I believe in the people of this district and in our ability to enact change. It would be my honor to serve you as Senator.
Here’s how you can help:
And please tell your friends, volunteer for the campaign, and consider coming to our first event in Cheney. I’m going to need your help to do this.
