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?

Food insecurity IS a racial equity issue. From urban food deserts to rural areas and tribal lands, people don’t have the nutrition they need to lead healthy lives. Whether it’s due to lack of accessibility or high prices, people aren’t getting the food they need. I support anything we can do to mitigate that, including more food benefits, and local basic income programs.

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? 

Keep and expand WFTC and capital gains tax. Institue an income tax and eliminate sales tax. Flip our broken tax system so those with the least aren’t paying the most.

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.
