Ron’s Plan for an Affordable Future

North & Northeast Seattle is a place where people work hard, care about their neighbors, and believe in strong communities. But for too many families today, the rising cost of housing, childcare, transportation, and everyday life is making it harder to stay here and build a stable future. That didn’t happen by accident.

It’s the result of decades of policy choices that made housing scarce, let costs spiral, and protected the status quo.

Washington has the resources to build a future where everyone can thrive. But that requires leadership willing to challenge that status quo and invest in the things that actually make life better for families.

Ron is running for the Washington State House to do just that. His priorities focus on lowering the cost of living and making sure opportunity remains within reach for families in District 46.

  • Housing is the foundation of a stable life. When housing is scarce and expensive, everything else becomes harder, family stability, economic mobility, and community life. Washington must dramatically increase housing supply while protecting renters and investing in permanently affordable homes.

    His approach includes:

    • Building enough housing so prices come down

    • Freezing rent in publicly owned housing

    • Expanding housing near jobs, schools, and transit

    • Investing in social and affordable housing at scale

    • Strengthening renter protections and eviction prevention

    • Expanding supportive housing for people facing homelessness

    When cities build enough homes, life crises rarely turn into homelessness. Housing affordability is prevention.

  • Childcare is essential infrastructure. Without reliable childcare, parents cannot work, families struggle financially, and children lose critical early learning opportunities.


    Ron will fight to:

    • Make childcare affordable for every family

    • Cap childcare costs relative to income

    • Invest in a universal early learning system

    • Ensure childcare workers earn fair wages

    Universal childcare helps families stay afloat, supports the workforce, and gives every child a strong start.

  • Transportation should connect people to opportunity—not drain family budgets.

    Ron believes Washington must invest in reliable, affordable transportation options.

    His priorities include:

    • Expanding frequent and reliable bus service

    • Investing in safe walking and biking infrastructure

    • Connecting housing development with transit

    • Ensuring transit is accessible and affordable

    When transportation works well, families save money, communities thrive, and emissions fall.

  • Public education is the foundation of a healthy democracy and a strong economy.

    Ron believes Washington must fully fund public education and support the whole child.

    His priorities include:

    • Fully funding K–12 education, including for kids living with disabilities

    • Expanding mental health support in schools

    • Providing universal school meals

    • Investing in modern, safe school facilities

    • Supporting teachers and school staff

    When schools succeed, communities succeed.

  • Washington must remain a strong defender of civil rights and democratic values. Ron believes the state must actively protect freedoms, especially when federal leadership fails to do so.

    He will work to:

    • Protect voting rights and democratic institutions

    • Strengthen sanctuary protections for immigrant communities

    • Defend reproductive freedom and personal autonomy

    • Defend civil liberties and equal protection under the law 

    Every person deserves to live safely and freely in their community.

  • Washington’s future economy should create stable, well-paid jobs while tackling the climate crisis.


    Ron supports:

    •  Investing in clean energy and climate resilience

    •  Creating union jobs in housing, transit, and infrastructure

    •  Expanding workforce training and apprenticeships

    •  Supporting labor rights and fair wages


    A clean economy should create opportunity for working families, not just profits for the wealthy.

Help keep opportunity within reach in District 46!
