Security
Security means families can live safely, communities can plan for the future, and the country can enforce its laws without losing its humanity. We need safe neighborhoods, secure borders, reliable water, strong farms, a healthy environment, and a country that respects the rule of law. Security is not just about force. It is about stability, trust, and whether people believe the system works.
Secure Borders and Common-Sense Immigration Reform
We need secure borders and a legal immigration system that actually works.
That means knowing who is coming into the country, stopping drug trafficking and human trafficking, reducing immigration backlogs, hiring more immigration judges, modernizing legal pathways, and creating clear rules that people can actually follow. We need a pathway to citizenship for our law-abiding neighbors that have been contributing to our community, and we also need common sense contract agricultural worker immigration policy.
Secure borders are not anti-immigrant. A fair legal system is not open borders. We can do both.
Agriculture and Labor
Water is life in Central Washington. We need reliable water infrastructure, modern irrigation, smart storage, conservation, wildfire prevention, and long-term planning. We can protect our farms, support rural communities, care for public lands, and protect the environment without burying people in bureaucracy.
Public Safety and Safe Neighborhoods
Every family deserves to feel safe in their home, school, business, and neighborhood. That means supporting effective law enforcement, improving mental health and addiction treatment, addressing homelessness honestly, protecting victims, and holding people accountable when they harm others.
Indepence
I am running as an independent because I do not believe either party has a monopoly on truth, freedom, or common sense. Independence means thinking for yourself. It means refusing to let party bosses decide what is right. It means answering to the people of Central Washington — not to Washington, D.C.
