I’m running because I want to make housing a human right, provide healthcare to all, and make sure people have good-paying jobs.

I'm running to represent my community, Washington’s 6th Congressional District: Tacoma, Gig Harbor, Kitsap County, and the Olympic Peninsula.

I’m running because my opponent takes corporate PAC money—I don’t. You can’t take on the powerful interests that have left District 6 with a raging opioid epidemic and economic desperation if you’re taking their campaign cash.

What’s stopping us from achieving this right now is that corporations, billionaires, and the 1% have bought off our politicians. It’s time to show them what happens when a working-class, multi-racial, multi-generational coalition comes together and fights for fairer, more decent society.

I am an organizer, small business owner, and tenants’ rights activist in Tacoma. I’ve worked as a human rights observer, a substitute teacher, and I’m a commissioner on the Tacoma Area Commission on Disabilities. I hold a master’s degree from Johns Hopkins University. I’m the only Democrat in the race who refuses corporate PAC and lobbyist money, and I’ve been endorsed by Brand New Congress and the Washington State Democratic Party’s Progressive Caucus.
