Carmela’s Priorities

Source-published biography

As someone born and raised in Eastern Washington by people who were born and raised in Eastern Washington, wanting a bright future for the next generations of my family, I treasure our home. We are a 75% working class district and a major breadbasket of our nation, and the world. We proudly host Fairchild Air Force Base, and the three top civilian employment sectors are healthcare, education, and retail.

An Economy That Works for Eastern Washington

Candidate position

End the tariff chaos. That will cut prices for consumers and for businesses, both importers and exporters. It may start setting us on the road to normalcy with our trading partners including our nearest neighbors in Canada and in Mexico.

Immigration detention and DHS accountability

Candidate position

Defund construction and operation of detention centers as fast as humanely possible. Restore funding to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) so it may respond to weather and other emergencies, and lead the orderly and humane release of anyone detained by other elements of DHS, except for anyone facing criminal charges or subject to the jurisdiction of a criminal court. Those excepted detainees shall be swiftly transferred to the custody of the appropriate federal, state, or local public safety authorities.

Tariffs, health care, retirement, public safety, ethics, and medical autonomy

Candidate position

As a blue-collar kid from Spokane, I put myself through college and law school and came back to Spokane County as Deputy Prosecutor to stand up for survivors of violence and sexual assault. I served our country for 24 years as a diplomat with the U.S. Foreign Service in places like Afghanistan, Japan, Norway, and Pakistan. I negotiated tough trade and national security issues across political, religious, and national divides. As your Congresswoman, I'll end the tariffs punishing our farmers and consumers. I’ll fund rural hospitals, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. I’ll bring a prosecutor’s skills to keep us safer, and uproot corruption. I’ll keep politicians out of your doctor’s office.

An Economy That Works for Eastern Washington

Candidate position

Pass an inflation-indexed federal minimum wage law with paid time off and paid sick leave. This will counter the practice of major corporations of tempting states to race to the bottom, allowing corporations to privatize profit while socializing risk by paying workers less than they need to live, and weakening environmental protection and workers’ and consumers’ health and safety.
