I will be pushing for a moratorium on the construction of data centers that are powering the unregulated sprint to develop & deploy AI.
The moratorium will give democracy a chance to catch up, and ensure that the benefits of technology work for all of us, not just the 1%.

Trump wants us all dead, one way or the other.
A deeply dangerous — and blatantly retaliatory action against Colorado — by the Trump administration.
NCAR is one of the most renowned scientific facilities in the WORLD — where scientists perform cutting-edge research everyday.
We will fight this reckless directive with every legal tool we have.

There are billions of dollars of data center projects currently underway in the United States, with hundreds of billions of dollars more planned. This pitch is going over great with many politicians — but it’s falling flat with a large and growing coalition of regular people.

Food banks need your donations more than ever, but PLEASE do NOT donate anything that is more than four years past the date printed on the can! Anything that old must be thrown away, but only after a volunteer wastes their time searching for that date. Cash donations are ALWAYS appreciated!

Science matters. Washington state stands united with our partner states and medical experts to put public health and safety before politics. The hepatitis B vaccine at birth has been recommended and administered for decades — it is a proven, essential tool for protecting our communities.
WCHA disagrees with CDC’s Advisory Committee’s change to decades-long vaccine recommendation that has reduced pediatric hepatitis B infections by 99 percent.
