District 9 Deserves a Voice
Real Change Rises,
It Doesn’t Trickle Down
While regular politicians host exclusive galas and high-dollar dinners to hear from wealthy donors, Jude takes a different approach—volunteering across District 9 to connect with the people who are too often left out of the conversation. He shows up at food banks, neighborhood cleanups, community meetings, and local events—not for photo ops, but to listen, lend a hand, and build relationships with residents who can't afford to buy political influence.
It’s a new way to campaign—one that centers real people, not special interests. Jude believes the voices that matter most belong to those most affected by the Council’s decisions: working families, renters, seniors, and everyday neighbors. This isn’t just about politics—it’s about changing who gets heard and who gets helped.
Jude’s Highest Priorities
Everyone Deserves quality food
In a county as wealthy as King County there is no reason for anyone to go hungry.
With federal nutrition funding under threat, Jude wants King County to prioritize food banks, nutrition programs, and food sovereignty.
Success Starts with Housing
Even at 30, Jude’s oldest daughter cannot afford to buy a house. Artificial scarcity has increased costs beyond affordability for the American Dream.
Jude will fight to address corporate hoarding, promote a return to traditional mixed-density neighborhoods, and fund owner-managed development of affordable rentals.
Health care is for Every Body
Delayed healthcare costs King County millions in emergency visits and increased insurance premiums. Treating problems early would cost less.
Jude supports universal healthcare, reproductive healthcare, gender-affirming care, and bodily autonomy for all Washingtonians
Community Creates Peace & Prosperity
For 20 years, we’ve tried to address crime rates by increasing spending on law enforcement. If it hasn’t worked yet, it’s not going to work.
Jude knows you cannot punish people into prosperity. Jude supports community restorative justice, and proactive interventions by social workers or unarmed crisis response teams.
Finances need fair funding
Jude doesn’t think it’s fair that the top 5% of King County Residents are making 22% of the county’s income, and only pay 2% of their income in taxes when the average person is paying 10%.
King County fixed its $165 million budget shortfall with an increase in sales tax - a regressive policy that continues to empty the pockets of households making less than $100k, while leaving the rich unburdened.
Jude wants to make taxes more fair, by lobbying to replace state sales taxes with flat income taxes, and balancing the burden with wealth taxes that fund Universal Basic Income.
