从中国到美国：一段成长与奋斗的旅程

戴琳（Lynn Trinh）记得初中的她刚刚来到美国时的情景，那是一个全新的世界，一个充满了无限可能但也充满了挑战的国度。她的父母，怀揣着对未来的期望，将她带到了这个陌生的国家，寻找新的机遇。

在学校里，语言障碍和文化差异让她起初感到格格不入，但她并没有因此退缩。相反，戴琳对学习充满了热情，她深知教育是改变命运的关键。通过不懈地努力，她不仅获得了建筑学的学位，还对美国的历史和文化产生了浓厚的兴趣。

然而，戴琳始终没有忘记她的根源。虽然身处美国，她依然保持着对中华文化的热爱，并将这种热情传递给她的孩子们。戴琳认为，作为移民家庭的第二代，孩子们既要学会融入美国社会，也要保持对自己文化的认同。这种平衡在她的家庭生活中尤为重要，尤其是在她成为母亲之后。

（戴琳和丈夫及三个孩子在一起）

戴琳和她的丈夫是一对勤奋的夫妇。他们不仅忙于各自的工作，还共同抚养着三个孩子。作为母亲，戴琳非常注重孩子的教育，她希望孩子们能够在美国这个充满机会的国家中茁壮成长，同时也能够继承他们的文化传统。为了让孩子们更好地理解他们的文化背景，戴琳在华人社区教授中文长达十几年之久，并作为志愿者，在社区传播中华文化。这不仅帮助了她自己的孩子，也让许多华裔家庭的孩子有机会接触和了解中华文化的精髓。

随着孩子们逐渐长大，戴琳对社区的服务也从未间断。她在Redmond市艺术和文化委员会任职，参与策划和组织了许多社区文化活动。通过这些活动，戴琳不仅帮助华裔社区融入主流社会，也为东西方文化的交流搭建了桥梁。在她的推动下，Redmond市的文化活动越来越多样化，许多居民通过这些活动了解到了来自中国的文化艺术，也对多元文化有了更深的理解。

极端政策让她步入参选的行列：恢复父母权力和优质教育，反平权法案DEI

作为一位母亲，戴琳在抚养孩子的过程中，逐渐意识到政府在教育和家庭生活中的角色正在发生变化。她目睹了学校里推行的某些政策，尤其是涉及性别认同和性别转换的教育内容，这些让她感到深深的不安。戴琳认为，孩子们在年轻时尚未具备足够的判断能力，尤其是在像性别认同这样的复杂问题上，家长应该是帮助孩子做出这些重大决定的核心角色。然而，州政府的一些政策却剥夺了家长在这些问题上的参与权。例如，SB5599法案允许未成年人在没有父母知情的情况下进行性别转换手术。戴琳深感震惊，她认为这样的政策不仅侵犯了父母的基本权利，还可能对孩子的未来产生不可逆的影响。她无法想象，如果自己的孩子在成长过程中因为困惑而做出了如此重大且可能是错误的决定，而自己却无从知晓，这将会给家庭带来怎样的伤害。

在戴琳看来，教育的首要任务应该是培养孩子的独立思考能力和品格，而不是通过政治性议题来影响他们的世界观。她尤其反对DEI（Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion，多元性、平等和包容性）的过度推广。她认为，这类政策在学校里将性别和种族作为选拔和教育的标准，忽视了美国传统的价值观念和基于个人能力的选拔标准。这不仅不利于教育的公正性，还对真正优秀、胜任的人选造成了不公平的竞争环境。

戴琳指出，政府强制推行的DEI政策不仅在教育领域存在问题，在工作场所也带来了负面影响。企业被迫根据性别和种族差异而非市场需求和公平竞争来选择和管理员工。这种做法违背了企业的效率原则，也扭曲了市场中的公平竞争环境。戴琳认为，真正应当鼓励的是基于能力、才华和工作表现的公平竞争，而不是依赖种族或性别的多元性指标来衡量一个人的价值。

最近，戴琳注意到在一些华人社群中，有人故意歪曲她对DEI的看法，试图误导选民。对此，戴琳表示，她坚决支持平等机会和公平竞争，但反对任何以性别或种族为唯一标准的强制性政策。她希望通过这次竞选让选民更清楚地了解她在这一问题上的真实立场，确保所有人在教育和就业中都能基于自己的能力和努力获得成功，而不是因为强制性的多元性政策。

通过戴琳的倡导，她希望恢复教育中对传统价值的尊重，确保每个学生都有机会在公平的环境中发展自己的潜力，而不被外部的政治压力或社会议题所干扰。

(戴琳参与组织的夏令营)

恢复社区安全，激励企业繁荣，减少政府强制规定和税收

在公共安全问题上，戴琳特别关注到州政府通过的多项限制性法律，尤其是HB 1054和HB 1579法案。这些法律对警察在紧急情况下的执法能力进行了限制，尤其是在追捕嫌疑人和使用某些必要的执法手段时，警察不得不面临更多的限制。这种情况导致了社区犯罪率的上升，居民的安全感逐渐下降。戴琳认为，政府应该支持执法部门，而不是通过限制性的法律削弱他们的权力。

此外，戴琳还特别关注到州政府的庇护州政策（SB 5497），她认为这项政策阻碍了州政府与联邦移民执法机构的合作，尤其是在打击非法移民和毒品贩运方面。这项政策的实施，使得许多非法移民得以在华盛顿州获得工作和生活的机会，而这不仅加剧了州内的资源紧张，也让非法毒品的泛滥变得更加难以控制。她特别提到，近年来芬太尼等毒品的泛滥，已经对青少年的生命安全构成了严重威胁，而庇护州政策使得毒品问题更加难以解决。

面对这些问题，戴琳呼吁政府采取更加务实的政策，不仅要保护合法移民的权益，还要确保公共安全和法律的执行。她强调，虽然应该对移民持有同情心，但政策必须在保护移民权利和保障公共安全之间找到平衡。她呼吁通过更严格的法律，防止非法移民的涌入，并加强对毒品贩运的打击力度。

把能源使用的选择权，尤其是对天然气的使用权，交给民众，而不是政府強制命令

戴琳的竞选不仅仅是为了改善当前的社会环境，更是为了恢复华盛顿州的传统价值观。在她看来，近年来州政府在环境保护、能源政策和经济发展方面采取了一系列极端措施，这些措施虽然初衷是好的，但实际上却对经济发展和个人自由造成了不小的负面影响。

她特别提到，HB 1589法案禁止华盛顿州新建天然气管道连接，这意味着新建房屋和商业建筑将无法使用天然气，而必须依赖电力。这一政策的实施不仅增加了建筑成本，还剥夺了居民在能源选择上的自由。戴琳认为，这种限制性的能源政策对中小企业和普通家庭的影响尤其大，因为他们往往没有能力承担过高的电力成本。在她看来，政府不应该强制规定人们使用何种能源，而应该让市场来决定最佳的能源选择。

在房屋租赁市场上，戴琳也对州政府的多项政策提出了批评。她指出，HB 1236和SB 5600等法律过度保护租户的权益，削弱了房东的权利，导致许多房东不愿再进入租赁市场，这反过来又加剧了住房供应的短缺，导致租金的上涨。她认为，政府应该在保护租户权益的同时，平衡房东的利益，确保住房市场的健康发展。

从社区到立法院：为社区发声，推动对人民有利的政策

在决定竞选华盛顿州第48选区州众议员之前，戴琳已经在社区中积累了丰富的服务经验。作为Redmond市艺术和文化委员会的委员，她积极推动社区文化的发展，并通过自己的努力，将中华文化带入主流社会。她深知，文化是连接不同族群的重要纽带，而多元文化的交流不仅能够增进理解，也能增强社区的凝聚力。

然而，在社区服务的过程中，戴琳逐渐意识到，政府的许多政策正在对人们的日常生活产生负面影响，尤其是在教育、公共安全和经济领域。她看到，州政府通过了一些限制性法律，这些法律不仅削弱了执法部门的权力，也增加了小企业和家庭的负担。她决定不再只是作为一个旁观者，而是要通过参政议政，直接为社区发声，推动政策的改变。

戴琳的竞选旅程并不容易。作为一位女性和亚裔候选人，她面对的不仅仅是政治上的挑战，还有社会上的偏见和质疑。然而，这些困难并没有让她退缩。她相信，自己的竞选不仅仅是为了争取一个席位，更是为了代表那些和她有着同样诉求的选民，让他们的声音能够在州立法机构中被听到。

她的竞选团队逐户走访，挨家挨户地与选民交流，解释她的政策主张，并倾听社区的需求和关切。通过这些面对面的交流，戴琳发现，许多选民与她有着相同的困惑和不安，尤其是对当前政府过度干预个人生活的政策感到不满。

(在竞选期间，戴琳和团队敲了10,000多户选民的门)

为华州人民发声：戴琳的愿景

竞选获得一个席位，增加话语权，仅仅只是戴琳的一个目标。她更大的愿望是通过参政议政，促进广大的民众更加关心我们生活的政治环境。通过公民运动，推动政府政策的改变，为华盛顿州的家庭和社区带来更加安全、自由和繁荣的未来。她相信，通过恢复传统的价值观和常识性的政策，华盛顿州的居民可以重新享有他们应得的权利和自由。

戴琳的竞选根植于她对家庭、社区和国家的深厚感情。她希望通过自己的努力，推动政府更加透明和公正，让每个选民的声音都能在州立法机构中被听到。她相信，只有通过公开透明的立法过程，才能确保每个家庭的权益都得到保障，每个孩子都能够在一个安全和自由的环境中成长。

作为一位母亲、社区领导者和候选人，戴琳的竞选旅程才刚刚开始，但她已经为未来的改变奠定了坚实的基础。她期待着，通过选民的支持和自己的不懈努力，为华盛顿州带来一个更加美好的明天。

附录

华州第48立法区州众议员候选人戴琳（Lynn Trinh):

初中时期我随父母移民到美国，很快学会了接受美国原则，追求自己的抱负。工作后和越南华侨的丈夫一起抚养着三个孩子，并且经常鼓励他们珍惜这个国家提供给我们的一切。

从第一个孩子出生起，我就把为学校和社区服务作为我的重要任务。怀着对社区的热爱，在Redmond 市的艺术和文化委员会任职委员。出于对中华传统文化的热爱，志愿担任了十几年的中国古典文学和文化教师。怀着对下一代参与政治的热情，创立了亚太裔联盟(APAPA) 西雅图分会，并怀着对孩子和父母权利的承诺，担任 Moms for Liberty 分会的董事会成员。

近年来，我不断地意识到政府的干预性政策对人们日常生活的影响，特别是在教育、经济和公共安全领域。政府在立法和政策上缺乏透明度，不再维护我们的权利和自由。我知道自己需要在一个新的领域服务——第48立法区的州级立法机构候选人。此次竞选根植于解决我们面临的诸多紧迫问题，倡导优先恢复我们自由的政策。作为您的代表，我将让透明度、和常识重新回到立法职责上。聆听您的声音，并诚挚地期待您的一票。

戴琳的主要政见

华州第48立法区是华州49个立法区之一，它主要位于在两个湖中间的东区，包括Kirkland，Bellevue，Redmond，Medina，Clyde Hill。我竞选职位是州众议员，每个立法区的两位代表之一，在州级众议院的立法机构中代表第48立法区投票各类议题和法案。

目前我们在华盛顿州面临许多问题，包括教育、父母权利、社会治安、经济萧条等。在这些年的政策中，人们逐渐失去了个人权利和选择自由。我的目标是再次代表选民的利益和个人权利与选择自由，在州级的立法机构为48区的选民和为华盛顿州实施更好的法案而服务。

恢复父母的权利 ：父母拥有抚养子女的专有权利和责任——包括教育和社会问题。这与生俱来的权利不属于政府机构，我将积极支持和起草支持父母权利的立法。

恢复优质教育：教育机构需要教授下一代美国传统价值观和宪法精神。公共教育应侧重于提供教师资源，提供更多的阅读、写作、数学、历史和公民教育等学术科目。此外，在整个学术生涯中，学生应该获得某些生活技能，包括金融知识、人际交往能力和社会知识。

恢复公共安全：政府最重要的作用是保证公共安全，否则个人权利就得不到保护。通过确保公民的安全，我们将再次享受一个更加和平和繁荣的社会。在立法方面，我支持我们的执法人员，建设警察设施，实施有效的防止犯罪方案，鼓励邻里参与，并提供应急资源。

减少政府控制和税收：几十年来，政府税收和支出的透明度越来越少，而规定和税收一再增长，成效微薄。极少用在捍卫属于个人的生存权、自由权上。我将通过支持和捍卫这些权利成为华盛顿州公民的捍卫者。

恢复公民自由：美国建立在这样的理念之上：我们拥有造物主赋予我们不可剥夺的权利。美国宪法和华盛顿州宪法都概述了这些权利，但我们的立法机构一再颁布侵犯这些权利的法律。我将努力将公民自由和权利归还给华盛顿州人民。

From China to the United States: A Journey of Growth and Struggle

Lynn Trinh remembers the time when she first came to the United States in middle school. It was a brand new world, a country full of infinite possibilities but also full of challenges. Her parents, with hopes for the future, brought her to this strange country to look for new opportunities.

At first, she felt out of place due to language barriers and cultural differences at school, but she did not back down. Instead, Dai Lin was full of enthusiasm for learning, knowing that education was the key to changing one's destiny. Through unremitting efforts, she not only obtained a degree in architecture, but also developed a strong interest in American history and culture.

However, Dai Lin never forgot her roots. Although she lives in the United States, she still maintains her love for Chinese culture and passes this passion on to her children. Dai Lin believes that as the second generation of immigrant families, children must learn to integrate into American society while maintaining their cultural identity. This balance is particularly important in her family life, especially after she became a mother.

(Dai Lin with her husband and three children)

Dai Lin and her husband are a hardworking couple. Not only are they busy with their respective jobs, they also raise three children together. As a mother, Dai Lin pays great attention to her children's education. She hopes that her children can thrive in the United States, a country full of opportunities, while also inheriting their cultural traditions. In order to help her children better understand their cultural background, Dai Lin has been teaching Chinese in the Chinese community for more than a decade and has been a volunteer to spread Chinese culture in the community. This has not only helped her own children, but also given many children from Chinese families the opportunity to come into contact with and understand the essence of Chinese culture.

As her children grew up, Dai Lin never stopped serving the community. She served on the Redmond Arts and Culture Committee and participated in planning and organizing many community cultural activities. Through these activities, Dai Lin not only helped the Chinese community integrate into mainstream society, but also built a bridge for the exchange of Eastern and Western cultures. Under her promotion, Redmond's cultural activities have become more and more diverse. Many residents have learned about Chinese culture and art through these activities, and have a deeper understanding of multiculturalism.

Extreme policies led her to run for office: restoring parental rights and quality education, opposing affirmative action and DEI

As a mother, Dai Lin gradually realized that the role of the government in education and family life was changing while raising her children. She witnessed some policies implemented in schools, especially those related to gender identity and gender transition education, which made her feel deeply disturbed. Dai Lin believes that children do not have enough judgment when they are young, especially on complex issues such as gender identity, and parents should be the core role in helping children make these major decisions. However, some state government policies deprive parents of their right to participate in these issues. For example, the SB5599 bill allows minors to undergo gender transition surgery without the knowledge of their parents. Dai Lin was deeply shocked. She believed that such a policy not only violated the basic rights of parents, but also may have an irreversible impact on the future of their children. She could not imagine what kind of harm it would bring to the family if her children made such a major and possibly wrong decision because of confusion while growing up, and she had no way of knowing it.

In Dai Lin's view, the primary task of education should be to cultivate children's independent thinking ability and character, rather than influencing their worldview through political issues. She is particularly opposed to the excessive promotion of DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion). She believes that such policies use gender and race as selection and education criteria in schools, ignoring traditional American values ​​and selection criteria based on personal ability. This is not only not conducive to the fairness of education, but also creates an unfair competitive environment for truly excellent and competent candidates.

Dai Lin pointed out that the DEI policy enforced by the government is not only problematic in the field of education, but also has a negative impact in the workplace. Companies are forced to select and manage employees based on gender and racial differences rather than market demand and fair competition. This practice violates the efficiency principle of the company and distorts the fair competition environment in the market. Dai Lin believes that what should really be encouraged is fair competition based on ability, talent and work performance, rather than relying on racial or gender diversity indicators to measure a person's value.

Recently, Dai Lin has noticed that some people in some Chinese communities have deliberately distorted her views on DEI in an attempt to mislead voters. In response, Dai Lin said that she firmly supports equal opportunities and fair competition, but opposes any mandatory policies that use gender or race as the only criteria. She hopes that through this campaign, voters will have a clearer understanding of her true position on this issue and ensure that everyone can succeed in education and employment based on their own abilities and efforts, rather than because of mandatory diversity policies.

Through Dai Lin’s advocacy, she hopes to restore respect for traditional values ​​in education and ensure that every student has the opportunity to develop their potential in a fair environment without being disturbed by external political pressures or social issues.

Restoring community safety, encouraging business to thrive, and reducing government regulations and taxes

On the issue of public safety, Dai Lin is particularly concerned about the many restrictive laws passed by the state government, especially HB 1054 and HB 1579. These laws restrict the police's ability to enforce the law in emergency situations, especially when chasing suspects and using certain necessary law enforcement methods. The police have to face more restrictions. This situation has led to an increase in community crime rates and a gradual decline in residents' sense of security. Dai Lin believes that the government should support law enforcement agencies rather than weaken their power through restrictive laws.

In addition, Dai Lin also paid special attention to the state government's sanctuary state policy (SB 5497). She believes that this policy hinders the cooperation between the state government and federal immigration law enforcement agencies, especially in combating illegal immigration and drug trafficking. The implementation of this policy has enabled many illegal immigrants to obtain opportunities to work and live in Washington State, which has not only exacerbated the resource shortage in the state, but also made the spread of illegal drugs more difficult to control. She particularly mentioned that the spread of drugs such as fentanyl in recent years has posed a serious threat to the lives and safety of young people, and the sanctuary state policy has made the drug problem more difficult to solve.

In the face of these problems, Dai Lin called on the government to adopt more pragmatic policies, not only to protect the rights of legal immigrants, but also to ensure public safety and law enforcement. She stressed that although immigrants should be sympathetic, policies must find a balance between protecting immigrants' rights and ensuring public safety. She called for stricter laws to prevent the influx of illegal immigrants and to strengthen the crackdown on drug trafficking.

Give the public the right to choose energy, especially natural gas, rather than government mandates

Dai Lin's campaign is not only to improve the current social environment, but also to restore the traditional values ​​of Washington State. In her opinion, in recent years, the state government has taken a series of extreme measures in environmental protection, energy policy and economic development. Although these measures were originally well-intentioned, they have actually had a significant negative impact on economic development and personal freedom.

She specifically mentioned that HB 1589 prohibits new natural gas pipeline connections in Washington State, which means that new homes and commercial buildings will not be able to use natural gas and must rely on electricity. The implementation of this policy not only increases construction costs, but also deprives residents of their freedom to choose energy. Dai Lin believes that this restrictive energy policy has a particularly large impact on small and medium-sized enterprises and ordinary households because they often cannot afford the high electricity costs. In her opinion, the government should not force people to use what energy, but let the market determine the best energy choice.

In the housing rental market, Dai Lin also criticized many policies of the state government. She pointed out that laws such as HB 1236 and SB 5600 overprotect the rights of tenants and weaken the rights of landlords, causing many landlords to be reluctant to enter the rental market, which in turn exacerbated the shortage of housing supply and led to rising rents. She believes that the government should balance the interests of landlords while protecting the rights of tenants to ensure the healthy development of the housing market.

From the community to the Legislative Yuan: Speak up for the community and promote policies that benefit the people

Before deciding to run for the 48th District of Washington State, Dai Lin had already accumulated rich experience in serving the community. As a member of the Redmond Arts and Culture Commission, she actively promoted the development of community culture and brought Chinese culture into mainstream society through her own efforts. She knows that culture is an important link between different ethnic groups, and the exchange of multiculturalism can not only enhance understanding, but also strengthen the cohesion of the community.

However, in the process of community service, Dai Lin gradually realized that many government policies were having a negative impact on people's daily lives, especially in the fields of education, public safety and economy. She saw that the state government had passed some restrictive laws that not only weakened the power of law enforcement agencies, but also increased the burden on small businesses and families. She decided not to just be a bystander, but to directly speak for the community and promote policy changes through political participation.

Dai Lin's campaign journey was not easy. As a female and Asian candidate, she faced not only political challenges, but also social prejudice and doubt. However, these difficulties did not make her back down. She believed that her campaign was not only to fight for a seat, but also to represent voters who had the same demands as her and let their voices be heard in the state legislature.

Her campaign team visited door to door, communicated with voters, explained her policy proposals, and listened to the needs and concerns of the community. Through these face-to-face exchanges, Dai Lin found that many voters shared the same confusion and anxiety as her, especially dissatisfaction with the current government's policy of excessive intervention in personal life.

(During the campaign, Dai Lin and her team knocked on more than 10,000 voters' doors)

Speaking for the people of Washington: Linda Dai's vision

Winning a seat and increasing the right to speak out is only one of Dai Lin's goals. Her greater wish is to encourage the general public to pay more attention to the political environment in which we live through participation in politics. Through citizen movements, she can promote changes in government policies and bring a safer, freer and more prosperous future to families and communities in Washington State. She believes that by restoring traditional values ​​and common-sense policies, residents of Washington State can regain the rights and freedoms they deserve.

Dai Lin's campaign is rooted in her deep feelings for her family, community and country. She hopes to promote more transparent and fair government through her efforts, so that the voice of every voter can be heard in the state legislature. She believes that only through an open and transparent legislative process can we ensure that the rights of every family are protected and every child can grow up in a safe and free environment.

As a mother, community leader, and candidate, Dai Lin's campaign journey has just begun, but she has already laid a solid foundation for future change. She looks forward to bringing a better tomorrow to Washington State through the support of voters and her own unremitting efforts.

appendix

Lynn Trinh, candidate for Washington State Representative in the 48th Legislative District:

I immigrated to the United States with my parents when I was in junior high school, and I quickly learned to accept American principles and pursue my own ambitions. After work, I raised three children with my Vietnamese overseas Chinese husband and often encouraged them to cherish everything this country has to offer us.

Since my first child was born, I have made it my priority to serve the school and the community. With a passion for the community, I served on the Arts and Culture Commission of the City of Redmond. With a passion for traditional Chinese culture, I volunteered as a teacher of Chinese classical literature and culture for more than a decade. With a passion for the next generation’s political participation, I founded the Seattle chapter of the Asian Pacific American Alliance (APAPA), and with a commitment to the rights of children and parents, I served on the board of directors of the Moms for Liberty chapter.

In recent years, I have become increasingly aware of the impact of intrusive government policies on people's daily lives, especially in the areas of education, the economy, and public safety. The government lacks transparency in legislation and policies and no longer upholds our rights and freedoms. I know I need to serve in a new arena - a candidate for the state legislature in the 48th Legislative District. This campaign is rooted in addressing the many pressing issues we face and advocating for policies that prioritize restoring our freedoms. As your representative, I will bring transparency, justice, and common sense back to legislative duties. I am listening to you and sincerely looking forward to your vote.

Dai Lin's main political views

The 48th Legislative District is one of the 49 legislative districts in Washington State. It is mainly located in the eastern part of the state between the two lakes, including Kirkland, Bellevue, Redmond, Medina, and Clyde Hill. I am running for the position of State Representative, one of the two representatives in each legislative district, representing the 48th Legislative District in the state-level House of Representatives to vote on various issues and bills.

We are facing many problems in Washington state right now, including education, parental rights, social security, economic depression, etc. In these years of policies, people have gradually lost their individual rights and freedom of choice. My goal is to represent the interests of voters and individual rights and freedom of choice again, and serve the voters of the 48th district and implement better laws for Washington state in the state legislature.

Restoring Parental Rights : Parents have the exclusive right and responsibility to raise their children – including educational and social issues. This birthright does not belong to a government agency, and I will actively support and draft legislation that supports parental rights.

Restore quality education : Educational institutions need to teach the next generation traditional American values ​​and the spirit of the Constitution. Public education should focus on providing teachers with resources to offer more academic subjects such as reading, writing, mathematics, history, and civic education. In addition, throughout their academic careers, students should acquire certain life skills, including financial literacy, interpersonal skills, and social knowledge.

Restoring Public Safety : The most important role of government is to ensure public safety, without which individual rights cannot be protected. By ensuring the safety of our citizens, we will once again enjoy a more peaceful and prosperous society. On the legislative front, I support our law enforcement officers, build police facilities , implement effective crime prevention programs, encourage neighborhood involvement, and provide emergency response resources.

Reduce Government Control and Taxes : For decades, there has been less and less transparency about government taxes and spending, while regulations and taxes have continued to increase with little success. Very little is spent on defending the individual rights to live, work, and be free. I will be a champion for the citizens of Washington by supporting and defending these rights.

RESTORING CIVIL LIBERTIES : America was founded on the idea that we are endowed with unalienable rights by our Creator. These rights are outlined in both the U.S. Constitution and the Washington State Constitution, but our legislatures have repeatedly enacted laws that infringe upon them. I will fight to restore civil liberties and rights to the people of Washington State.
