About Me
I’m a single father, a community organizer, and an unflinching Democrat.
I have served in the Washington State House of Representatives since 2020. As your representative, I strive to carry forward the core values that have kept me engaged in politics and public policy for two decades: building healthy and inclusive communities, planning for the future our children deserve, and working together for a more just and inclusive Washington State.

What I stand for on key issues:
Climate change
I am committed to a rapid and just transition to a clean energy economy.
Affordable Housing
We are in a housing crisis. We need more homes that people can afford.
Healthcare for all
Healthcare is a basic human right and we must work diligently to make sure everyone in our community has the care they deserve.
Preventing gun violence
It's time for common sense policies that will save lives.
Rebuilding the economy
As we rebuild the economy, let’s put people first: living wages, training, and opportunities for everyone.
