Why it matters & Rebecca’s leadership

Washington’s upside-down tax code has long forced working families to subsidize public services while the wealthiest pay the least. Rebecca has been a leading voice for progressive revenue reforms that fund education, child care, housing, and health.

Key accomplishments

• Helped pass the capital gains tax, shifting responsibility to the wealthiest Washingtonians.
  

• Championed the Working Families Tax Credit, expanding eligibility and access.
  

• Supported closing corporate loopholes and advancing equitable budget priorities.
  

• Advocated for progressive payroll and employer-based revenue options.
  

Looking ahead on King County Council

On the County Council, Rebecca will champion voter-approved levies, progressive revenue tools, and fair tax policies that fully fund public programs and prevent austerity — without balancing budgets on the backs of working people.
