THREAD: On my AMA yesterday, someone asked what I want to change in WA-06. Here was my answer: 1) Ensuring the tribes in our district don’t have to keep moving upland because of rising sea levels, which is a tremendous loss of the places they’ve lived since time immemorial.
2) Ensuring people in low-income housing complexes in Aberdeen don’t have sewage wash up on their sidewalks every time the river floods (which will happen more with climate change). 3) Ensuring people in Tacoma don’t have ashes falling from the sky due to far-away wildfires.
4) Getting reliable, high-speed internet access to the tribes and rural parts of our district. 5) Expanding Social Security, so a senior I canvassed in Tacoma (pre-pandemic) no longer has to struggle to live on $700/month with rent that’s $600 per month.
6) People don’t have to live in the woods in Port Angeles anymore. 7) People don’t die on the streets of Tacoma during the winters anymore.
8)The tribes get enough funding to deal with rising sea levels, e.g., funding to move the Makah Nation’s school, which is in a tsunami zone. The current evacuation plan, due to lack of funding, is for the children to run a mile uphill if a tsunami is coming.
9) Grays Harbor gets an addiction treatment facility that takes Apple Health (Medicaid). 10) Tacoma gets more than one detox facility that takes Apple Health.
11) People who work in the grocery stores and other low-wage jobs on Bainbridge can actually afford to live on Bainbridge, through federal funding for affordable housing.
This is just a partial list, but these are some of the things I want to change.
