I'm a progressive and I'm going to be running a campaign to represent Washington's 10th Congressional District. I've been working since I was 15. I'm 25 years old and I own and operate a trucking business with my wife. I'm an activist and I have worked on campaign for Education funding, getting money out of politics, a green New Deal, an increased minimum wage, and other issues. my representative doesn't agree with almost any major policies the majority of Americans agree with and so I think he should be replaced. I've pledged to take this all the way. I'll be personally knocking on 25,000 doors before the primary, and along with volunteers I expect we will need to knock on 100,000 doors before the primary, and 400,000 before the general election.
I know everyone has different priorities in what they look for in a candidate, so here's a short list of my policies:
-At least a $20 minimum wage by 2028. continuous increase tied to inflation.
-Green New Deal with workers as a PRIORITY, not an afterthought.
~Nationalize energy production in the US, manufacture & export green energy. All wealth generated is used to fill retiremen fund, and used to fund paid family and Medical leave for ALL. Similar to Oil Pension fund in Norway
-Federal Jobs Guarantee. All jobs at least 5% above minimum wage.
-Free College, Trade School, & Job Certification courses for all Americans of ANY age, prioritizing the implementation for in-demand fields like Medical and Green Energy to meet the demands of the Green New Deal and Medicare for All allowing more people to finally get the healthcare they need.
-100% Federal income tax break for ALL households under $80k/year for 2 years.
-Tax the rich at least as high as FDR
-Massive annually increasing tax penalty for companies that don't employ only Americans, similar to what they did to us with the healthcare mandate.
-DOUBLE military salary, bring all troops home from the Middle East and put them under the direction of the United States Army Corps of Engineers to rebuild OUR crumbling infrastructure.
-Nationalize ...Read more

November 30, 2018
First Goal Reached!
Thanks to 19 total donors, we reached our goal. The most common donation is $27. A lot of us wouldn't be involved in politics now if it weren't for Bernie Sanders running in 2016. I will be as consistent with my moral principles as he's been for decades. I will NEVER give in to corruption. I will NEVER cower to the powerful. And I will ALWAYS fight for what is just and moral. Thank you. And if you know any Progressives thinking about running for office, encourage them to run!
