Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am a Democrat running in Washington’s 1st Congressional District because I believe voters deserve practical, solutions first leadership rooted in evidence, accountability, and common sense. I am focused on affordability, public safety, healthcare reform, and protecting women and children. I am not running to repeat party slogans or defend the status quo. I am running to challenge failed approaches, ask hard questions, and deliver measurable results for working families in our district.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

WA-01 deserves a practical Democrat focused on results, not slogans. I support evidence based policymaking, accountability, and measurable outcomes. Voters in this district want progress that is realistic, effective, and grounded in the real problems families face every day.Affordability and quality of life are at the center of this campaign. Families are being squeezed by housing costs, healthcare costs, and a tax system that feels disconnected from real life. I support reforms that help working and middle class households keep more of what they earn and live safely in the communities they call home.I am willing to speak clearly about issues many politicians avoid, including public safety failures, homelessness tied to addiction and severe mental illness, and the need to protect women only spaces and women’s sports. Voters deserve honesty, courage, and a representative who will put community safety and basic fairness ahead of political cowardice.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I am especially passionate about healthcare reform, homelessness, addiction and severe mental illness policy, public safety, women’s rights and sex based protections. Better protections for children and families. I am also deeply interested in practical tax reform. I believe public policy should be judged by outcomes, not by slogans, tribal loyalty, or political fashion.

Campaign websiteKincaid's campaign website stated the following:Homelessness, Addiction and Severe Mental IllnessHomelessness policy must recognize different root causes addiction, untreated severe mental illness and economic hardship. Rather than treating everyone through the same system. The campaign calls for a results driven national framework that balances compassion with accountability.
