1
00:00:00,934 --> 00:00:03,970
-As a fourth-generation
Japanese American and mom of

2
00:00:03,970 --> 00:00:06,473
two, I'm proud to raise my
family in the same Beacon

3
00:00:06,473 --> 00:00:08,708
Hill home that my grandparents
bought after being

4
00:00:08,708 --> 00:00:11,244
released from World War
II concentration camps.

5
00:00:11,244 --> 00:00:12,912
But the fight to
stay rooted here

6
00:00:12,912 --> 00:00:14,047
is harder than ever.

7
00:00:14,047 --> 00:00:16,583
Too many neighbors leave
because politicians

8
00:00:16,583 --> 00:00:19,019
haven't made affordability
the priority.

9
00:00:19,019 --> 00:00:21,021
I believe everyone
should be able

10
00:00:21,021 --> 00:00:23,857
to live in the place that
they love and call home.

11
00:00:23,857 --> 00:00:26,760
I'm ready to take this
fight to the next level.

12
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:28,561
I served on transition teams

13
00:00:28,561 --> 00:00:31,598
for Governor Ferguson,
Executive Zahilay, and

14
00:00:31,598 --> 00:00:34,701
Mayor Wilson because they
trust my expertise and

15
00:00:34,701 --> 00:00:36,002
ability to deliver.

16
00:00:36,002 --> 00:00:37,771
Now, King County must deliver

17
00:00:37,771 --> 00:00:41,408
the housing, childcare, and
transportation infrastructure

18
00:00:41,408 --> 00:00:42,442
that people need.

19
00:00:42,442 --> 00:00:44,911
As Port Commissioner,
I championed childcare

20
00:00:44,911 --> 00:00:48,081
solutions, job opportunities,
and delivered over $5

21
00:00:48,081 --> 00:00:51,484
billion in capital projects
on time and on budget.

22
00:00:51,484 --> 00:00:54,621
Before the Port Commission,
I worked at King County,

23
00:00:54,621 --> 00:00:57,590
where I served vulnerable
communities by advancing equity

24
00:00:57,590 --> 00:00:59,726
and building
accountability systems.

25
00:00:59,726 --> 00:01:02,595
I understand the county and
where the opportunities

26
00:01:02,595 --> 00:01:03,530
are for improvement.

27
00:01:03,530 --> 00:01:06,900
I've delivered real reforms
and I am uniquely prepared

28
00:01:06,900 --> 00:01:08,902
to meet the needs
of our communities.

29
00:01:08,902 --> 00:01:10,403
As your next county
councilmember,

30
00:01:10,403 --> 00:01:12,439
I'll champion
anti-displacement protections

31
00:01:12,439 --> 00:01:14,774
for renters and
homeowners alike.

32
00:01:14,774 --> 00:01:17,644
I'll fight for affordable,
accessible childcare

33
00:01:17,644 --> 00:01:19,979
options for families
and demand investments

34
00:01:19,979 --> 00:01:22,415
into transportation
safety infrastructure

35
00:01:22,415 --> 00:01:23,950
to prevent deaths.

36
00:01:23,950 --> 00:01:25,752
I'll prioritize
upstream investments

37
00:01:25,752 --> 00:01:29,556
that get better outcomes for
health and public safety.

38
00:01:29,556 --> 00:01:31,591
That means fully
funding mental health

39
00:01:31,591 --> 00:01:34,094
and community-led gun violence
prevention strategies

40
00:01:34,094 --> 00:01:37,230
like after-school and
mentorship programs.

41
00:01:37,230 --> 00:01:40,166
I'm endorsed by
Executive Zahilay,

42
00:01:40,166 --> 00:01:43,203
City Attorney Erika Evans,
County Councilmember

43
00:01:43,203 --> 00:01:45,238
Teresa Mosqueda,
City Councilmembers

44
00:01:45,238 --> 00:01:47,307
Alexis Mercedes Rinck,
Eddie Lin, and

45
00:01:47,307 --> 00:01:49,409
Joy Hollingsworth,
Governor Inslee,

46
00:01:49,409 --> 00:01:52,412
legislators, labor unions,
Democratic organizations,

47
00:01:52,412 --> 00:01:56,382
and over 100 progressive
District 2 community leaders.

48
00:01:56,382 --> 00:01:58,918
Let's choose a better future.
