Choosing between Vandana Slatter and Amy Walen is easy.
One of them has worked for a living. The other has only ever owned businesses.
Which one represents you more?

When wealthy people or talking heads on TV talk about "economy", they're not talking about the same economy we talk about.
If inflation went down. If the price of groceries and rent went down, stocks went down and wages went up? They'd be screaming that the economy is horrible.

How are people meant to be encouraged to form families and have kids if daycare costs are so high?
I've seen people say bright horizons charge up to 3500 a month! Some of them charge you just to be put on a wait list.

I'm running for Bellevue City Council in Washington State.
What areas of public policy are you passionate about?
My personal mission is simple: To never normalize the suffering we’ve been conditioned to accept (“That’s just how it is”) and to reject the lie that we can’t afford to help people.

It's actually scary how many political candidates are using AI to just wholly write their voter statements. I hate it. In the Seattle Mayor's race, you can very easily tell 4/8 of the candidates really overrelied on AI to write for them.
It's just so sad to see.
