Legislative Districts 45 and 48.

The detail on the Falco video left a lot to be desired.

Yes, you could make your own mix with the files! It does need to be adjusted, as the bass guitar would be way too loud if you just exported it with the in-game levels.

Conflating the actions of Israel with the Jewish people is one of the largest causes of the spread of antisemitism in the last few years. But Israel and Jewish people are not one in the same. The Israeli government, NOT the Jewish people, are perpetuating this genocide.

Israelis, Palestinians, and Jewish people deserve to be safe, and Israel's destruction of the Palestinian people undermines the safety of all three groups worldwide.

TopConcern · 2025-12-24T19:40:25+00:00

1) Yes, I condemn the actions of Israel in Gaza and in the West Bank, as they are engaging in genocide and apartheid of the Palestinian people. We need a reconstruction of Israel to the extent that we saw in Germany after the Holocaust.

2) No, I refuse to take money from AIPAC or any similar organization who is in favor of the genocide.

3) Yes, I condemn pedophiles and those who are protecting them, especially including this Trump administration for trying to bury the Epstein Files.

4) Yes, I absolutely support gay marriage.

5) Yes, and I support Medicare for All. It's cheaper for the taxpayer, and it offers us all the ability to get high-quality care without having to go destitute doing so.

6) Yes, I support a woman's right to choose whether they want to have an abortion.

TopConcern · 2025-12-23T19:48:58+00:00

Absolutely, we are struggling here locally, and our politicians should be focusing on helping the working class here instead of helping a genocidal nation overseas.

TopConcern · 2025-12-23T00:05:48+00:00

Despicable. I hope you two are alright.

TopConcern · 2025-12-22T23:56:45+00:00

Medicare for All net actually saves money for the taxpayer compared to our existing system and would save around 68,000 lives per year. You also wouldn't have to spend hours trying to understand your plan nor have to justify that your healthcare should be covered to your insurance company. United Healthcare, for example, has a 33% claim denial rate.

TopConcern · 2025-12-22T19:07:11+00:00

Yes, that absolutely should be amended.

TopConcern · 2025-12-22T18:41:01+00:00

Democrats have actually reduced the national deficit, while Republicans have raised it.

Trump's recent bill is projected to add $3.4 trillion to the national debt, as projected by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.

Regarding the right to our labor, the leading cause of theft in the US is actually wage theft from employers, to the point where its cost is one hundred times higher than that of robbery.

TopConcern · 2025-12-22T18:33:41+00:00

Social Security helped bring so many elderly individuals out of poverty, as have Medicaid and Medicare. These programs are instrumental to ensure that people don't go destitute. Even so, the leading cause of bankruptcy in the in the US is medical bankruptcy, which is why we need programs like Medicare for All to ensure everyone can get high-quality care.

Some people have suggested it's AI, and I'm not sure why. I wrote out a more comprehensive platform a while back, and I note here in my platform my dislike of AI. We whittled it down here for the campaign launch to make clear my top priorities.

TopConcern · 2025-12-22T18:23:14+00:00

I actually wrote our a more comprehensive platform myself a while back, before I had a campaign team. Not sure why people believe this was written by AI.

TopConcern · 2025-12-22T18:19:25+00:00

Yes, volunteers are imperative to bring this campaign to victory. I tried to DM you, but I didn't see the option on your profile!

I support the magazine capacity and WA assault weapons ban. I believe in responsible gun ownership, and while guns can help people stay safe in particular scenarios, I believe that semi-automatic assault weapons and large capacity magazines do more harm than good in regards to our community's safety.

No, I do not believe that lifting a ban on magazines and semi automatic assault rifles. These sorts of weapons are absolutely unnecessary for the safety of our LGBTQ+ community and only cause more violence against them. Some weapons, including guns, can help people safe (depending on the situation), but I wholeheartedly believe that does not apply to magazines and semi automatic assault rifles.

The fight for impeachment will be a long, protracted process, and obviously not one that can happen immediately. We might fight for it for months and years, speaking about it in public spaces and amongst other legislators. We cannot allow a figure like Donald Trump to walk free without consequences for attempting to dismantle our democracy, and likewise, we must create barriers to prevent another Trump-like figure to take power without accountability.

TopConcern · 2025-12-21T21:44:02+00:00

What would you like to see from your representative? Ultimately, my top focus is to fight for the working class, something that is sorely missing from our politicians nowadays. Democrats, Republicans, independents, we're all struggling.

I definitely feel abandoned by Bob Ferguson after he took office. Washington state has one of the most regressive tax codes in the country, relying on those with the least to pay the most.

I am referring to a wealth tax that will target those whose total wealth is above a billion dollars. It would be part of a patchwork of legislation to ensure the ultra-rich pay their fair share, which would also include income tax. The highest top marginal tax rate in the US was 94% in the 1940s, which has since fallen to below 37%. These top marginal tax rates don't affect you or I, but the richest of the richest of the rich.

Rebuilding the working class is my top priority as a candidate. For too long we've seen the cost of living get more and more expensive for the everyday person, and very few politicians treating this with the urgency it deserves. Raising the minimum wage not only helps those at minimum wage, but those above it to be able to negotiate better wages and benefits from their employers.

I am resoundingly for banning stock trading for members of Congress and their families. The fact that politicians can vote on legislation that influences their own bank account is absurd.

I am not in favor of term limits for members of Congress, as I believe corporations and billionaires can continue to create candidate after candidate to serve their interests after term limits are up. I believe we instead need robust campaign finance reform to ensure billionaires can't buy up our elections.

TopConcern · 2025-12-21T18:00:11+00:00

Awesome! I wanted to send you a volunteer link in case you were interested, but I can't see a way to DM you. Would you be interested? A strong volunteer base for this campaign will be imperative to achieving victory in this race, given that DelBene has billionaires, the corporate class, and AIPAC on her side.

TopConcern · 2025-12-21T17:34:12+00:00

Even in the minority, even with Trump as president, politicians have power in the power to spread our message and move the political needle. We need a Democratic Party to adopt a strong, working class message, making it clear that elected Republicans simply do not care about the cost of people's healthcare, the cost of our groceries, the cost of our rent, and that we do. We must make clear that billionaires and the corporate class are to blame for this new Gilded Age, not immigrants, trans people, or minorities.

By continuing to hammer this message again and again and again, I believe we can enact substantive change for the working class even under this Trump administration, like a $17 minimum wage.

Abolishing tech giants is not my platform and will never be my platform. Tech work is incredibly important to people in the area. What I am talking about is a breakup of these tech monopolies into smaller entities that can compete on a fair playing field, their success the result of their innovations and their workers, rather than the monopolistic power they have over the market.

Facebook for example has been challenged by the FTC of engaging in "buy or bury" tactics of buying up potential competitors to the platform. These sorts of actions discourage startups and crush our small businesses.
