The Facts

For nearly 40 years, Democrats have run Olympia—and Washington families have paid the price. Gas prices are near the top of the nation. We have one of America’s largest homeless populations. Police staffing is dead last in the country. And here in Spokane, Democrats are piling on with new local sales taxes and utility hikes. The facts matter. Reality exists. And common sense — though tragically uncommon — is the only way forward. It doesn’t have to be this way. It’s time for reality to make a comeback and for truth to prevail.

Setting the Record Straight

Crime & Policing

No family should worry about break-ins, car theft, or walking kids past drug use downtown. When crime feels unchecked, small businesses suffer and neighborhoods empty out at dusk.
Our plan is simple: put more officers on the street, focus on the worst offenders, and back lawful police pursuits so repeat criminals don’t get away. We’ll show the results—publicly—so everyone can see Spokane getting safer.

Homelessness & Addiction

It isn’t compassion to watch people spiral on the streets and call it “help.” It isn’t compassion to stack people in rooms and hope addiction heals itself. Spokane has tried “housing first only”—and too many neighbors are still stuck. We also know not everyone can quit today. That’s real life. So we’ll meet people where they are, offer treatment the moment they’re ready, and set clear standards that move them toward sobriety, stability, and work. Housing matters. Treatment matters. Standards matter. We will do all three—at the same time.

Housing & Property Taxes

Families shouldn’t lose a home they’ve already paid for because government can’t live within its means. Seniors on fixed incomes aren’t ATMs. Spokane Republicans will guard your home with three commitments: stop the local tax creep, focus budgets on core services, and automatically connect every eligible senior/disabled homeowner to real relief. We’ll steward your dollars the way you do—so you can stay rooted in the home you built.

Cost of Living

Families across Washington feel the squeeze every month. From gas at the pump, to the cost of rent or a mortgage, to utility bills climbing higher each year, the basics of life cost far more than they should. The truth is simple: one-party rule in Olympia has made Washington one of the most expensive states to live in. When families are choosing between groceries and gas, or when seniors can’t afford to stay in homes they already own, it’s clear the system is broken.

In-Person Voting

Elections should happen in person, in public, and on paper—so every voter sees the process and trusts the result. Ballots shouldn’t sit in apartment lobbies or pile up in old mailboxes. Most democracies still make you show up to vote, and they use mail ballots only when you truly can’t be there. That’s our position: in-person as the default, with mail ballots limited to medical necessity and voters temporarily away (military, students, work). 

Schools: Back to the Basics

Classrooms are for learning, not ideology. Parents—not bureaucrats—belong in the driver’s seat. We oppose DEI mandates that sort kids by identity; it’s harmful, inappropriate, and when it elevates race over merit and character it becomes a kind of neo-racism. Our goal is real school choice—let money follow the student, give families control, and make every school compete on reading, math, and results.

Protecting Kids

 Children deserve a safe childhood—not life-changing drugs and surgeries. Putting a minor on puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, or removing healthy body parts is irreversible and, in our view, child abuse. Real compassion means protecting kids, helping families, and giving time and counseling until they’re adults. Many distressed kids grow out of it as they mature. Our job is to guide—not push.
