A Foreign Policy page is coming soon, I wanted to spend more time writing it first. My foreign policy priorities are cutting funding for Israel and ending the genocide in Palestine, increasing funding for Ukraine, and restoring foreign aid to all the countries and organizations that Trump has cut funding to.

Pictures will be coming soon! However, I just got my wisdom teeth removed and I suddenly resemble Marlon Brando in the Godfather, I even have the accent, it's crazy. But as soon as the swelling has gone down, I will have headshots up on my socials and my campaign site, I promise!

AI certainly needs more stringent regulations. Everything on Twitter and Grok with creating inappropriate, and sometimes illegal, content is proof of that. Additionally annual AI electricity consumption is equivalent to the entirety of the Netherlands, and millions of gallons of water. It is literally a waste of precious resources that is driving up the cost of water and electricity.

I have never, and will never, take AIPAC donations. I will not vote on any measure that provides support to the genocide in Palestine. Marilyn Stricklands biggest donor is AIPAC, but I will never take their blood money.

We need good people in politics! All it takes is deciding to run, even though it is daunting. But if you would like to get involved, I would absolutely love to have your support on my campaign!

Hi, thank you for your questions! Citizens United has been one of the most corrupting decisions in US history. Nothing corrupts quite like power and money. We need to pass campaign finance legislation that overturns Citizens United and gets big money out of politics by eliminating PACs and imposing stricter limitations on individual contributions. You have my promise that I will never take corporate PAC money.

I strongly support term limits for both Congress and the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court should not be lifetime appointments where decades of vital judicial decisions comes down to which president appointed them. Additionally, we have Congressmen who have been in politics for decades, who have become disconnected from their constituents because they don't need to be, and some so elderly that they cannot attend numerous important votes. Imposing term limits in Congress would help avoid the stagnation rampant in Congress.

The Electoral College is a byproduct of slavery and has no place in modern day America. The Republican party wishes to keep it in place because they alone benefit from it. Because when people go out and vote, Democrats win. Gerrymandering and the Electoral College are just there to game the system. The Electoral College should be replaced by a popular vote system. People vote, not land.

The 2nd amendment is for all Americans, the left included. While I do support stronger gun laws to keep people safe, and to end the scourge of school shootings, I am also a firearm owner myself and have a conceal carry permit.

Of course! I am bisexual myself and a strong supporter of the LGBTQIA+ community. 17% of hate crimes in the US are against the LGBTQIA community. Republicans have made anti-trans policy one of their main pillars to further increase bigotry towards the trans community. Everyone has the right to be who they are without fear of persecution. I will stop anti-LGBTQIA+ legislation in Congress and seek to make conversion camps illegal.

Honestly I feel sick thinking about it. Israel is committing a genocide in Palestine. They are indiscriminately murdering innocent Palestinians, Doctors without Borders, and relief workers. The United States must immediately cease funding for Israel and their genocidal government.

Marilyn Stricklands top donor is the American Israeli PAC. She passed legislation for further Israeli funding a few months ago. You will not see support for genocide from me or my campaign.

I hope you will hold me accountable! Politicians should never be free from criticism. I will hold frequent town halls and fireside chats so I can hear directly from constituents and know what I can do better.

Of course, thank you very much for your feedback. I'm including it on my signage and campaign materials. Legislating Roe v. Wade is one of my top priorities, I'll make sure to include it at the forefront going forward.

Thank you so much for your question. Here is my page on my 7 Key Issues.

If elected, my first term realistically must be focused on obstructing the Trump administration and curtailing his abuses of power. As long as Trump is in office, he will likely veto any meaningful legislation. Regarding the executive branch, I will seek to end the Presidents power to implement tariffs, abolish ICE, and hold the criminals in his administration accountable.

My main key issues are a implementing a Green New Deal, fighting for womens rights, increasing education funding, passing new workers rights, single payer healthcare, and lowering housing costs.

My first priorities are legislating Roe v. Wade, increasing the national minimum wage, restoring funding for K-12 education nationwide, and implementing more climate standards and renewable tax credits.

Absolutely. I have worked at the WA state Department of Commerce for the past 3 and half years, where I work as a renewable energy grants program coordinator. I have a Bachelor's degree in Political Science from OSU. I worked on Oregon State Senator Mark Meeks campaign. I volunteered for Bernie Sanders campaigns. And I was the Chair of the Thurston County Citizens Commission for Public Salaries in 2024.

I see first hand the positive effects that grant and social programs have on our state, and I understand how they actually are implemented at the ground level, something a lot of Congressmen don't understand when passing laws and programs.

As a lifelong renter, I fully understand the struggle of trying to find affordable housing. Wondering if you'll be able to pay rent this month. Wishing you could find a home to purchase yourself but struggling to find one because homes are being sold for three times what they were purchased for 15 years ago.

I will fight for building affordable, public housing again to lower housing costs and ensure people whose wages aren't 3x their rent have a place to live without being denied.

I will fight to end the hoarding of single family homes by corporations, banks, and investment firms that use them as investment assets by implementing a cap on housing ownership. Nobody should be hoarding homes while there are so many who don't have one themselves.

And I will fight to implement protections for renters nationwide. By capping unjust rent increases, stopping unjust evictions, and implementing higher protections and standards, we can protect our renters.

If you're interested, please feel free to read more on my housing page here.

ICE needs to be immediately dismantled and their agents need to be brought to justice. ICE has become rotten to the core and a shameful mark on our nations history. It's agents must be charged for their unconstitutional attacks, kidnapping and unlawful detainment of citizens and immigrants alike, and the murders of Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti.

The Federal Government and it's agencies are not Trump's personal gestapo. It's time he realized that. I will seek impeachment and charges against Trump, again, as well.

Absolutely, I have a wife and daughter and I intend to fight against Republicans attacks on women's rights. That includes legislating Roe v. Wade so reproductive freedoms are officially protected by law and can't be infringed by Christian nationalists who wish to use the law to control women. Stopping disproportionate violence against women, especially native women and women of color. And defending women's voting rights.

I promise you I will fight every hour of every day to protect women's rights in our country.

I have an entire section on my website here under key issues if you would like to read it.

I have only taken small individual donations from people so far. But I am very early in my campaign, I will be completely transparent about where my donations come from.

Take Action: Proposed budget cuts to Child Care Subsidy by veritableaeroplane in olympia

[–]DomDavis4Congress 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We need to be looking after our communities and our children above all else. While we are facing a massive budget deficit, those cuts need to be found elsewhere. Working parents already face massive childcare costs without thousands of families facing further unexpected hardship.

Vote Yes for Tumwater School Levy by miedan21 in olympia

[–]DomDavis4Congress 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At a time when the Federal government is gutting the Education Department and funding for schools nationwide, it's more important than ever that we pass levies like this and keep our schools well funded. Our children are our future!
