John,

When I was in seventh grade, my father fell ill at the same time my parents were opening their small business, John’s Fresh Produce. I missed school in order to help my mom get the store up and running, because the truth of the matter was, our family’s livelihood simply depended on the success of this business.

So when I heard that the Trump Administration officially asked the Supreme Court to invalidate the Affordable Care Act yesterday – in the middle of a public health crisis – I was infuriated.

The fight to make health care affordable and accessible to everyone is personal to me, John. No family should have to struggle to figure out how they’re going to pay the bills while affording the care they need, whether it’s prescription medications, doctors and hospital visits, life-saving surgery, and so on.

The passage of the Affordable Care Act ten years ago was the first step in expanding affordable health insurance coverage for Americans everywhere, and while it certainly has room for improvement, it doesn’t help that the GOP has relentlessly attacked it in Congress and the courts ever since, threatening the progress we’ve made.

That’s one of the major reasons why we need new leadership in the House. My opponent Rep. Jamie Herrera Beutler has sided with her party in attacking our country’s health care system instead of working to improve upon it, including ripping away protections for millions of people with pre-existing conditions. It’s absolutely cruel.

If I’m elected to represent Washington’s third district in the House this November, I promise you I will work to pass low-deductible public option health care that protects coverage for those with pre-existing conditions, as well as reduce the price of prescription drugs.

If you’re ready for health care solutions instead of the same old attacks from my opponent and her party, help us flip the third by pitching in $10 or more today toward our most important fundraising goal on Tuesday at midnight:

Thanks,
