Biography (max 750 char) I have actual lawful solutions to the problems facing district 14. Who else is giving actual solutions? ​District 14 faces severe crises: skyrocketing utility bills, yearly droughts, contaminated rivers, and rising overdose, domestic violence, and suicide numbers. We must stop throwing public funds at revolving-door jail systems and non-profit grants that fail to deliver results. ​My solutions are immediate. I will establish secure, long-term stabilization wards—not police in hospitals—and mandate 72-hour mental health evaluations for domestic violence offenders. I will secure grants for agricultural drip irrigation, cover high-evaporation channels with solar panels, and solarize public buildings. I will advocate to allow EBT for nutritio
STOP ADMINISTERING OPIODS IN JAIL. INSTEAD GIVE DETOX AND ADDICTION TREATMENT, STOP RELEASING PEOPLE

If these candidates get away with this during a campaign, how can we trust them in office? A sherrif who enforces has the most violations. Prosecutor and auditor. But auditor should know better the most?
DISTRICT 14 HAS A EMERGENCY DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CRISES. WITH MANY CITIES HAVING 3 OR 4 TIMES THE NATIONAL AVERAGE. THATS NOT A CRISES, THATS A EMERGENCY.

Secure stabilization housing and 72 hour mental health evaluations for all violent offenders Our district currently faces the worst domestic violence crisis in the state. In many of our neighborhoods, violence rates are **double** the state average. On the Yakama Reservation, the statistics are a national tragedy—**3 to 4 times the national average**. This isn't just a failure of safety; it’s a failure of policy that is **killing taxpayers.** We are throwing money into a "catc
