Adam vs. incumbent

Fighting for fairness

In 2018, Seattle approved a head tax of $275 per employee to raise about $50 million a year for homelessness and affordable housing. After pressure from Amazon and business groups, the City Council repealed it. That removed planned funding and left residents with fewer services and fewer homes built. Learn more

Powered by people

Adam takes $0 from corporate PACs. Public summaries show the incumbent relies heavily on PAC money. In the 2024 cycle about 44 percent of her funds came from PACs, with Amazon listed among top contributors and Pro-Israel categorized donors among top industries. Voters deserve a representative who answers to people, not lobbyists. Sources

Why It Matters

Our country is at a crossroads. Our children deserve a future, not a failing system run by career politicians that prefer the status quo. Adam believes change starts with leaders grounded in our communities—working-class Americans who aren’t beholden to foreign interests, corporate sponsors, or lobbyists. It’s time we stop waiting and start building a future led by integrity, optimism, and results.
