Voters' Pamphlet Statement
Washington is a universal vote-by-mail state in which all households with a registered voter receive both a ballot and an official voters' pamphlet which gives every candidate a page to speak directly to voters via a written candidate statement.
In addition to the printed voters' pamphlets, this official statement was published on the Washington Secretary of State's website at:
https://voter.votewa.gov/CandidateFiling/CandidatePamphlet.aspx?t=FB2CE869-0ACF-4B78-97B4-FE6EB4BD9B5C&k=1576454
Since the end of the campaign the statement has been taken down but we maintain an archive of the statement below.

Candidate Statement
Washington has been a lifeboat in a churning sea of embarrassing national politics. As our country loses freedoms (like Roe V Wade), and is ravaged by pandemic, inflation, ecological collapse, and democratic erosion, the people have held strong defending our state’s values and way of life. I’m running for Governor because we can’t wait for Congress to secure our own futures in the state we call home.
I’m a lifelong Washingtonian. I was educated by our public schools like Inglemoor High (go Viks) and UW (go Dawgs). I’ve worked up and down our tech industry from the scrappy Code.org to the multinational Microsoft. I’ve been a full-time movement leader at Whole Washington organizing marches, leading ballot initiative campaigns, and testifying to commissions in Olympia. If elected, I’d be Washington’s first Governor of Viet descent.
Washington has every ability to implement life changing policies like universal healthcare, a housing guarantee, and tuition-free higher education. These universal services will provide immediate relief to millions and ensure nobody is left behind while enabling us to make important transitions in the face of changing technology and global competition. These policies aren’t just possible, they are sensible investments in public goods.
Our state has a higher GDP per capita than even the wealthiest nations of the world like Norway and Sweden. It’s home to 13 billionaires, leading industries, and top research institutions. But our greatest wealth is the ingenuity, independence, and compassion of our people.
The world we want is possible today in Washington and is only a matter of political will. I aim to be that political will whether through active citizenship or from inside the Governor’s mansion. I am your organizer, but you my fellow Washingtonians are the movement.
