Ask me a question about running for state Senate. Here’s what I’ve answered so far.
Seattle Police Officers Guild has been officially expelled from the Martin Luther King, Jr. County Labor Council
Police officers do not belong in schools. My teachers' union will be telling our school board to end SRO presence in our district. Hoping they listen @WeTeachTacoma @tacomaschools #TacomaProtest #tacomaschools #changestartsnow #BLM #community #DefundPolice

In 2017 TPS spent $500k for SROs. There are better ways to spend our limited funds
