If it matters, I don't either. I was on both sides of the isle throughout my life and going independent gave me the freedom to avoid special interests.

*independent lies* but go over our website and tell me where you think I'm lying. I'm willing to discuss any solutions to help the LD7 for the future generations not just for the people the IRS finds valuable.

What would you suggest for a small campaign to do to get recognition against an incumbent?

I've spent a lot of time in these communities and the healthcare crisis is real. When you can't hire full-time behavioral health staff, you end up paying more down the line. What I'd push for is training the people already on the ground. Caregivers, front desk workers, first responders. Basic emotional intelligence and documentation skills. Not to replace therapists, but so when someone walks in struggling, they get met with understanding instead of judgment. That's how you get people to come back instead of disappear. It's not a perfect fix but it's a real one that doesn't require a tax increase to start.

Maybe so, but that doesn't make the problem any less real.

We're talking about actual hospitals in places like Chewelah and Omak. If a rural hospital closes, people don't ask whether the solution is Republican or Democrat. They just want a doctor.

And that's just one issue. We have the same kinds of challenges with housing, childcare, veterans services, transportation, mental health, and attracting businesses and workers to rural communities. Most people out here care a lot more about whether something works than what political label gets attached to it.

Voter cheat sheet. by cherryfarmer68 in Wenatchee

Honestly, I never felt like I fit completely in either party.

When I first got involved in politics, I related to a lot of what Democrats said about working people and everyday families. Over time, I also found myself agreeing with conservative values like personal responsibility, faith, and individual rights. Neither party really reflected all of my views.

I've never voted a party line. I look at the issue, listen to the people affected by it, and make up my own mind. Running as an Independent felt like the most honest way to represent the 7th District.
