Semi’s vision for King County

I envision a united Washington where diversity is celebrated, and everyone is treated with dignity and respect.

As Governor, my vision for our state is to build a strong and prosperous community where individual freedom, personal responsibility, and limited government are paramount.

I believe in promoting policies that reduce regulatory burdens, promote free market principles, and create jobs. We will work to attract businesses and investment to our state, while also supporting entrepreneurship and innovation.

We believe in protecting and preserving our natural resources, including our forests, waterways, and wildlife. We will work to promote responsible resource extraction and ensure that our natural resources are used wisely and sustainably.

I envision a Washington state where individuals are empowered to make their own decisions and take responsibility for their own lives. We believe in promoting personal responsibility, reducing government dependency, and preserving individual freedoms. We will work to eliminate wasteful government spending and reduce the size and scope of government.

Our vision for Washington State is to create a prosperous and free future for ourselves and for generations to come. We will promote policies that encourage economic growth, strong families, protect our natural resources, and empower individuals to achieve their full potential.

Semi's Story - Read More

I was born in Oakland, CA, but I grew up on the streets of Seattle, raised by my single mother, with my seven brothers and sisters.

I am passionate about restoring Washington State and the Emerald City to the beautiful, vibrant city I remember it to be. I have been deeply saddened by what I have seen happen to our state and King County in recent years, and that is why I decided to run for Governor. As my hero, Dr. Martin Luther King once said, “With faith, we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair, a stone of hope.”

I too have faith, and a dream for a united Washington where we embrace our diversity, respect our differences, rise above labels and divisions, and work together to tackle the out-of-control homelessness, lawlessness, despair, and hopelessness that is truly killing our once-great state.

Everyone will have a voice when I am governor.  We will become One-Washington again, and we will lead our state toward a future of prosperity for EVERYONE- leaving no one behind.

United we stand, together we can. Let’s make history together, my friends!

United we stand, Together we can!

Public Safety

Restoring the rule of Law and Safe Communities

Semi's Plan for Public Safety

As lawlessness overtakes our rural and urban communities, state leaders continue to undermine our law enforcement professionals with reckless policies. We will;

  • Enhance community policing to establish trust and collaboration as a holistic approach to neighborhood public safety.
  • Fully fund state police and increase the number of law enforcement officers with competitive salaries and hiring bonuses.
  • Work with local, state, and federal authorities to prevent the deadly threat of drugs such as fentanyl, from reaching our rural and urban streets.
  • Hold County Prosecutors accountable for enforcing the rule of law and, partner with Sheriffs and other local law enforcement leaders to reauthorize law enforcement across the state.
  • We will tackle mental health and addiction, the root cause of homelessness, by focusing our efforts on compassionate, comprehensive treatment programs and infrastructure.

Quality Education

Improving the quality of education for all

Semi's Plan to improve Quality Education

Washington State law (RCW 28A.150.22) requires that all children, ages 8-18 receive a quality education. According to the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction, less than 50% of Washington students have met grade-level standards in English and language arts, math, and science.  We will:

  • Ensure parents and families are not marginalized or isolated from their children’s education. Parents and families play the most important role in a child’s upbringing and education.
  • Facilitate School choice to ensure that all families have access to quality education systems, including but not limited to public, charter, private, and home schools. 
  • Ensure that all Washington schools are held accountable for student education outcomes, through responsible oversight and performance requirements.
  • Conduct a comprehensive audit/assessment of the Washington State education system to evaluate the root causes of learning loss and develop a solutions-based strategy for academic performance improvement.

Affordable Housing

Increasing availability to affordable housing

Semi's Plan to increase Affordable Housing

Washingtonians must have access to affordable housing.  Washington is the 7th worst in the country in terms of housing affordability and it is getting worse due to a supply and demand problem.  225,000 fewer housing units were produced than needed in the last 15 years.  Housing underproduction increases the cost of housing and also rents.  Zoning laws, impact fees, and other regulations increase the cost of building and slow down the effort to meet demand.  The increase in property taxes also contributes to higher housing costs and rents.

We will:

 

  • Streamline regulatory processes: Reducing bureaucratic barriers, such as zoning laws and building codes, can speed up the development process and reduce construction costs.
  • Incentivize development: Providing tax incentives, grants, and other financial incentives for developers can encourage them to build more housing units.
  • Public-private partnerships: Collaboration between public and private entities can lead to innovative solutions for increasing housing supply. This can include partnerships between developers and local governments to provide affordable housing units.
  • Reform zoning laws and expand urban growth boundaries to reflect the changing needs and conditions.
Semi's Plan

Food & Energy Security

Facilitating equal access to food and energy

Semi's Plan to facilitate Food & Energy Security

Washingtonians must have access to reliable and sufficient quantities of affordable, nutritious food, and similarly, require equal access to reliable and sustainable energy sources. We will:

  • Partner with Washington State farmers and ranchers to identify and mitigate regulatory barriers which may compromise generations of commitment to feeding our state and the world at large.
  • Prioritize the water and land rights of farmers and ranchers, while facilitating ecological stewardship of our environment.
  • Lawfully prevent foreign acquisitions of Washington State lands.
  • Utilize clean nuclear energy technology to maximize energy independence.
  • Establish a memorandum of understanding with the Department of Energy to maximize local energy resources, such as hydroelectricity. 
Semi's Plan

Economic Opportunity

Providing all with the opportunity for prosperity

Semi's Plans to foster Economic opportunity

As Washington families struggle to make ends meet in a failing economy rot with unprecedented inflation and high costs of goods, our current State leadership continues to spend excessively and tax Washingtonians unfairly.  We will;
  • Provide tax relief to Washingtonians.
  • Initiate budget accountability protocols to reduce spending.
  • Restructure our welfare infrastructure from a hand-out to a hand-up system.
  • Incentivize small business development for ALL.
  • Create opportunity zones in under-represented communities.
