Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2016
Issues: Employment and Affirmative Action Health and Health Care

We face significant challenges in providing access to affordable health care and insurance. I'm committed to addressing these.

* Obamacare is driving up insurance costs for many middle-income people, and for small business owners. There are a number of alternatives that will better meet the needs of citizens of the 26th District.

* Medicaid -- Most of the people signing up for Obamacare in Washington are on Medicaid, which means state government will have much higher costs to pay in the future. My focus on job creation will offer people the opportunity to obtain healthcare through their employers instead of relying on the State.

* Mental health -- Lack of proper funding for the mentally ill is of critical importance, and an issue which the Legislature must address in the coming years.
