Regarding health care, John will strive to create accessible and affordable health care, which is a human right and a public good. John will advocate for changes to ensure such care is available to all Washingtonians.
Education is John’s area of expertise. He knows first-hand the success of innovative public school programs and will seek to expand programs like career and technical education, Running Star and magnet programs like Cascadia Tech, Vancouver School of Arts and Academics, and Vancouver iTech Prep.
