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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
