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?

As a legal immigrant, I understand how imperative it is to keep the U.S. the beacon of hope for all of those seeking a better life. Legal immigration has been and will continue to be the only way for successful integration into our great nation. I want to ensure that the most vulnerable coming into our country have access to the resources that they will need to start a new successful life here.Parents play a pivotal role in their child's education, beginning within the home environment. Unfortunately, the emphasis on nurturing critical thinking abilities and fundamental education is gone from public schools. My aim is to restore authority over schools to the very communities that they cater to. By fostering a collaborative approach between parents, educators, and local communities, we can create an education system that focuses on the development of critical thinking skills, encourages independent thought, and ultimately prepares students for a better future.We must make crime illegal in Washington State again and support our emergency services to the fullest. Law enforcement and fire departments play a vital role in maintaining public safety. Providing them with the necessary funding for better equipment will protect them and enhance their ability to respond swiftly and effectively to emergencies, safeguarding the well-being of our communities.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

LEGAL IMMIGRATION, BORDER SECURITY, INFRASTRUCTURE SPENDING, EDUCATION SYSTEM & PUBILC SAFETY

Issues That Matter To You

Strong Infrastructure

Infrastructure is a critical foundation for a thriving economy. By investing in stronger and safer transportation systems, ensuring the resilience of our electric grid, and providing support for small businesses, we can create a conducive environment for economic growth.

Immigration

As an Immigrant, I know that legal immigration not only ensures a successful integration into our great nation but also upholds the values of fairness, opportunity, and diversity that make the U.S. a beacon of hope for those seeking a better life.

Public Safety

Supporting our emergency services and making crime illegal again in Washington State is crucial. By providing adequate funding and better equipment, we can ensure the safety of our communities and enable law enforcement and fire departments to respond effectively to emergencies.

Education

Collaborating with parents, educators, and local communities is key to creating an education system that prioritizes critical thinking skills and independent thought. Together, we can ensure a brighter future for our students.
