Thank you to @theurbanist.org for the invite to speak at your holiday party last night and rep Eastside King County!

WE WON BIG! Grateful to the people of Newcastle for your trust in me and for showing us where this city's values truly are. I've put my heart and soul into coaching in this community, volunteering in this community, and serving on council.

GET THE BROOM 🧹🧹 4-0 DEM SWEEP FOR FIRST DEM MAJORITY IN NEWCASTLE’S 31 YEAR HISTORY: 6-1 DEMS IN NEWCASTLE

FINAL STEP COUNT: 475,499 Today’s the big day! Make sure to turn your ballot into a BALLOT BOX by 8pm tonight. We’ve built what I believe to be the largest coalition of support ever for a Newcastle Council seat. We’ve run a campaign that truly reflects how I’ve served:

What this election means to me: Being elected as the then-youngest Councilmember in King County 4 years ago. Grappling with a callous council majority that’s shot down nearly all of my major projects and put my hometown on the front page news twice for hateful ideas.

31,933 steps this past week / 427,078 steps total Newcastle! Here are your options for Position 6 this year — Your incumbent (me) that has walked over 400k steps to meet you at your doors, answer your questions, and has helped our city access more resources in 4 years than

T-Minus 22 Days until Ballots hit the mail: Our campaign is endorsed by our Congressman, Adam Smith! Fun fact: Congressman Smith and I both ran for office for the first time at age 24. I appreciate his advice and continued partnership with Newcastle!

46,418 steps over the past week / 321,664 steps total Productive week talking to residents on the West side of the city and passing a Youth Council at Tuesday’s meeting! Pictured: Two of our interns out on the trail + how each of my two kittens deals with me being gone

5,630 Friday + 6,911 today / 218,987 steps total Thank you to the nice supporters who gave me some cold Kombucha, the several folks eager to know how many steps I’m at when I knocked on their door, and the multiple folks I’ve never met before asking me why the Town Hall was cancelled and sharing

7,334 today / 206,446 steps total I’m disheartened that Tuesday night the Conservative majority on our council pushed to cancel an already scheduled upcoming town hall — an effort I directly led to increase the number of city town halls to make our work more transparent.

6,349 today / 199,112 steps total “Living out here - you’re only the second candidate to ever knock on my door. The first one was you four years ago.” Some things just stay the same - that we campaign harder than anyone and reach the most remote parts of the city!

I voted for Janice Zahn for 41st State Rep. because from working together on multiple different committees, many carpools, and working on her campaign for Bellevue Council - I’ve found Janice Zahn and I are both policy nerds who give themselves (sometimes too much) to their work.

🧵 It’s a privilege to get to serve my hometown and know the people at a deep personal level who are running to represent me. I casted my vote for Claudia Balducci for King County Executive because working with Claudia on a day-to-day basis I see that she doesn’t just have my back —

JanePAC is proud to endorse ‪incumbent @victoriahunt.com‬ for the Washington State Senate in LD-5. A super PAC funded by Chevron and Koch Industries, among others, is dumping a ton of money into Washington state legislative races this year (including a heck of a lot against Victoria).

8,761 today / 72,140 steps total Talking with residents who are more informed about local politics than 4 years ago when I ran, because they saw our city on the news— They’re asking about the Pride Flag at city hall and which candidates support it like me— I’m glad more folks are engaged!

8,409 today / 63,379 steps total Doors in tandem with Friends for Janice Zahn today - talking about what both the city and state can do for Newcastle residents. From working together on regional committees as city councilmembers and now working together through our legislative delegation

7,437 steps Monday + 7,357 today / 54,970 total Yes I am absolutely out here talking to Newcastle residents every weeknight I can! Because I’m passionate about my projects with the city and eager to hear what folks think of them. We’ll be doing it until November 4th!

Also me 🙋‍♂️, from the rooftops please

City Councilmember Cathy Moore just asked a panel of experts if public health ever focuses on getting people "off medication and into full recovery," which I think reflects a sadly common (and stigmatizing) view of what recovery is. People on medication are in recovery.
