Empower Police to Fight Crime

Maia will fight to repeal the radical policies in Olympia – supported by her extreme opponent – that have handcuffed police, emboldened criminals, and made our communities less safe.

According to a report from the Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs (WASPC), our residents are victims of a crime every 4.7 minutes - including a rape every 3.5 hours, while property crimes occur every 90 seconds!

If elected, Maia will fight to:

  • Hire more officers and stand behind them

  • Enforce tough-on-crime bail and parole laws

  • Stand up to radical ‘defund the police’ rhetoric

  • Work to address justice system disparities

Make Our State More Affordable

Maia will make Washington State more affordable by cutting back on costly programs that hurt working families, seniors, and small business owners by driving up their taxes.

According to the nonpartisan Tax Foundation, Washington residents and business owners pay significantly higher taxes than neighboring states – and our combined state and local tax burden is even higher than California!

If elected, Maia will fight to:

  • Cut the sales tax rate to fight inflation

  • Repeal the worker’s tax and lower gas taxes

  • Support a balanced budget amendment in our state

Solve Our Homelessness Crisis

Once a single mom on government assistance herself, Maia knows we need to move past the platitudes and broken promises of the radicals in Olympia and take concrete steps to compassionately solve our homelessness crisis.

According to the State Department of Commerce, homelessness has been rising since 2016, despite nearly $1 billion spent by state and county governments to combat it in the last year alone. Simply throwing money at this problem is not the answer.

If elected, Maia will:

  • Reform the Growth Management Act to increase housing supply

  • Cut decades-old red tape and spur competition in the rental market

  • Support local nonprofits to combat addiction and mental health issues
