My family came to America for freedom and opportunity. I’ll protect those ideals by securing the border, stopping trafficking, and enforcing the law—while making legal immigration fair and efficient, supporting Dreamers responsibly, and ensuring farms and businesses have the lawful workforce they need.
My family came to America seeking freedom and a chance to rebuild our lives. That experience taught me that immigration must be both strong and fair—upholding the rule of law while honoring America’s promise of opportunity. Legal integrity and human dignity are not opposing values; together, they define who we are.
I’ll work to secure our borders, stop illegal trafficking, and enforce our immigration laws, while making the legal process clearer, faster, and more accountable. Families, farmers, and small businesses in Washington’s 8th District deserve a system that works—one that protects our communities and treats people with dignity.
I support legal status for Dreamers—young people raised here who know no other home—paired with clear expectations and responsibility. I’ll also modernize guest worker programs so farms and essential industries have access to a legal, reliable workforce.
Immigration built this country. It still can—if we do it wisely, with compassion and common sense.
