Kincaid for Congress – Washington’s 1st District

The Peace Corps was founded on one of America's most idealistic impulses the belief that young Americans, sent abroad in service, could help build a better world. Hundreds of thousands of volunteers have served with genuine dedication, courage, and sacrifice. That history deserves respect. But respect for the mission does not require silence about the institution's failures. And the failure we are talking about here is not a management problem or a budget shortfall. It is a decades long pattern of placing female volunteers in dangerous environments, failing to protect them from sexual assault, and then retaliating against or ignoring those who came forward. Over 350 rapes and attempted rapes of female Peace Corps volunteers have been reported since 2009 alone. That number almost certainly understates the true scope because of documented underreporting and retaliation against survivors. This is a moral crisis, not an administrative inconvenience and Congress has known ab...

A Real World Proposal for Universal Healthcare: A Phase by Phase Plan Before a tech company launches a new product, it runs a beta test. Before a car hits the road, it goes through years of prototyping and safety evaluation. But when it comes to healthcare reform, the political debate has offered Americans only two choices: leave a broken system untouched, or tear down the entire thing overnight. That is why every push for Medicare for All has failed  and it will keep failing. This is not a criticism of the goal. The goal is right. The problem has always been the strategy. Bernie Sanders and others have introduced Medicare for All legislation twelve times since 2003. Every single time, it has died in committee. It has never made it to a floor vote  not even when Democrats controlled the House, the Senate, and the White House simultaneously. That should tell us something important. The obstacle is not the idea. The obstacle is the approach. We need a fundamentally diffe...

Why Did Paige Bueckers' Stalker Get Probation? Why did the man who stalked Paige Bueckers receive nothing more than probation and a ban from attending games? Why such a light sentence? This individual already had an outstanding warrant for arson. He should have been put behind bars for a very long time. He is clearly dangerous. He is a credible threat to Paige Bueckers' life. And he is not someone who will respect a court-ordered ban. If he shows up at a game one day and opens fire, people will ask why no one saw it coming. They will talk about the warning signs  just as they do after every preventable tragedy. Have we learned nothing? Caitlin Clark. Paige Bueckers. Emma Raducanu. Taylor Swift. All of them have been targeted by stalkers. And they are far from alone. Across sports, music, and public life, women in the spotlight are being hunted, harassed, and threatened by dangerous individuals. These are not isolated incidents. They are warning signs. And the truth is, an...

Proposal for the Creation of a White House Office to Combat Antisemitism June 14, 2025  ·  By Kincaid Jewish Americans are facing harassment, vandalism, intimidation, and violence  and too often the government's response is fragmented, slow, and invisible to the public. Despite the documented rise of antisemitism in the United States and around the world, there is no permanent White House office solely dedicated to confronting this growing threat. While agencies like the State Department and the Domestic Policy Council play supporting roles, their efforts are disconnected, reactive, and largely unknown to most Americans. We need a permanent, visible, high level response. That is why I am proposing the creation of a White House Office to Combat Antisemitism , housed within the Executive Office of the President. This office would serve as the center of gravity for federal coordination  setting national priorities, aligning agency efforts, measuring results, and...
