I am with you, which is why I am focused on lowering costs for families on health care, child care, gas, groceries, and housing, holding this administration accountable, and continuing to confront the opioid and fentanyl crisis.

Every campaign is powered by volunteers, people who give their evenings and weekends to knock on doors, make phone calls, and talk with neighbors about why this election matters. Their work is the foundation of this campaign, and we want to ensure they have what they need to succeed.

A contribution of $27 helps cover the basic tools a volunteer relies on, including canvassing materials, data and voter contact resources, and the supplies needed to have meaningful conversations with voters across Northwest Washington.
