Our Campaign Platform Needs You

For working families in King County, child care isn’t optional — it’s the difference between staying afloat and falling behind. Parents are juggling impossible costs. Child care workers are stretched thin and underpaid. And too often, the system drops families right when they need help most — after parental leave ends, when kids are too young for school, or when the school day doesn’t match a work schedule. We need to treat Child Care as Public Infrastructure that is universal, affordable, and available from birth to age 12.

Everyone deserves to feel safe in their home, neighborhood, workplace, and on transit. Safety means more than responding to crime after it occurs—it means preventing harm, supporting people in crisis, strengthening communities, and ensuring that our public safety systems are fair, effective, and accountable.

Rebecca Saldaña has championed investments that make transportation safer, as well as more affordable, equitable, and reliable for both riders and workers. As Vice Chair of the Senate Transportation Committee, Rebecca has helped shape a transportation vision that prioritizes transit, pedestrian safety, climate responsibility, and strong labor standards—ensuring our transportation system works for the communities who rely on it every day.

Rebecca has spent her career fighting for a different vision: a King County where people don't just get by—they thrive. A place where families can afford to live near their jobs, children can safely walk to school and the library, seniors can age in the communities they helped build, small businesses can succeed, neighbors know one another, and every community has access to parks, cultural spaces, grocery stores, childcare, healthcare, and reliable transit.
