Question 1

Lowering costs. Protecting working families.

Accepted Answer

Families across Southwest Washington are being squeezed. Housing, healthcare, childcare, food, and utilities continue to rise while wages struggle to keep up.
Randi believes affordability must be a central lens for every legislative decision. That means:
Supporting policies that raise wages and protect working people
Making housing more attainable through thoughtful planning and responsible growth
Opposing policies that shift costs onto families while protecting the wealthiest few
Affordability isn’t a slogan — it’s whether people can stay in their homes, care for their families, and plan for the future.

Question 2

Smart planning that keeps housing attainable.

Accepted Answer

Randi has spent her career inside systems that work best when planning is done carefully and transparently.
She supports:
Infrastructure investments that keep pace with growth
Land-use policies that reflect community needs, not speculation
Long-term planning that prevents crises instead of reacting to them
Poor planning is expensive. Smart planning saves money, builds trust, and creates communities that function.

Question 3

Supporting every path to success.

Accepted Answer

Every child deserves access to an education that meets their needs — not just the ones who fit neatly into existing systems.
As an Autism mom and policy advocate, Randi will fight for:
Fully funded special education
Strong support for educators and paraeducators
Expanded career and technical education, including trade pathways
College should be an option, not a requirement. Trade careers are essential, dignified, and deserving of public investment.

Question 4

Dignity, access, and support when it matters.

Accepted Answer

Randi believes healthcare is a human right — and that disability policy should be shaped by the people most affected.
She supports:
Universal healthcare solutions that reduce cost and complexity
Strong protections for people with disabilities and caregivers
Services that promote independence, dignity, and inclusion
Systems should work for people — not force people to fight systems.

Question 5

Making participation easier, not harder.

Accepted Answer

Randi believes democracy only works when everyone can participate.
She will defend:
Vote-by-mail and accessible voting options
Fair representation for working parents, seniors, and people with disabilities
Electoral reforms that strengthen trust and participation
Democracy isn’t about power — it’s about accountability.

Question 6

Focused on solutions, not politics.

Accepted Answer

Randi is proud to be a Democrat, but she doesn’t believe good ideas belong to one party.
She will:
Work with anyone willing to solve problems in good faith
Push for economically progressive policies that are fiscally responsible
Stand firm on inclusion, civil rights, and human dignity
Progress doesn’t come from purity tests. It comes from persistence, competence, and courage.
