Patrick Miller – Cheney, WA

Will you support funding to expand access to free school meals to all grades?

Yes.

Will you support increasing funding for senior nutrition programs?

Yes.

If elected, in what areas would you support making investments to overcome structural racism and racial inequities?

When tackling any large, and highly interrelated project, I tend to take the approach of identifying a small number of areas, where even a small action can make a difference. And then repeating, always working on the next tractable problem. I do not have enough personal background in this area to know where to begin unravelling the damage from structural discrimination.

TAX POLICY Question: What measures will you support that promote equity and fairness in Washington’s tax code and create more opportunity for community investment? 

Fundamentally we need to work on a state constitutional amendment to allow for and use a tiered income tax model. In the mean time, I would support any measures that would make the tax code more progressive.

If Washington voters maintain the state’s Climate Commitment Act, will you support increasing CCA funding for programs that encourage and support food donation?

Yes.

Do you support increasing EFAP funding?

Yes.

Will you support policies and funding that improve access to land and resources for individuals and communities to develop urban agriculture and community gardens in Washington?

Yes.

Will you advocate for initiatives that ensure fair compensation and support for small farmers and community food producers, enhancing individual and community food sovereignty in Washington?  

Yes.
