Priorities

Chris will defend civil liberties and stand with immigrant, BIPOC, and LGBTQ communities. He will support bills like SB 5855 that prohibit face masks on ICE agents and demand transparency and accountability. No one is above the law.

Chris supports sustainable, long-term solutions to homelessness, listening to our social workers and first responders to improve public health and safety. He will promote zoning for tiny homes that are community lead, while removing barriers to home ownership for our emerging workforce.

Washington has a $500 million+ gap in school funding due to flawed models based on population growth. He will prioritize public school funding as his #1 commitment, including legislation like SB 5849 that requires teaching financial literacy to graduate.

Washington has the 2nd most regressive tax system in the country at the detriment of our school funding, public safety, and infrastructure. Chris will vote for legislation to increase taxes on the top 5% of earners to balance the budget and invest in our communities.

As an environmental recruiter, Chris knows how to power our green economy while lowering energy costs. He will support bills like SB 5116 that focus on clean energy, environmental justice and job creation for Washingtonians.

As a former software engineer and concerned parent, he will bring common-sense oversight to AI, protecting children, our citizens, and the environment with laws to guard against AI overreach, while encouraging innovation.
