Core Issues (What I’m running on)

Kincaid for Congress is an Exploratory Committee preparing a Democratic primary challenge to Representative Suzan DelBene in Washington’s 1st Congressional District (WA-01). The campaign stands for practical, solutions first leadership focused on measurable results for working families, not ideology or business as usual. Our mission is to renew accountability, strengthen communities, and bring rigorous, evidence based policymaking back to Congress.

Core Policy Priorities

Homelessness, Addiction, and Severe Mental Illness

Kincaid believes homelessness policy must recognize different root causes addiction, untreated severe mental illness, and economic hardship rather than treating everyone through the same system. The campaign calls for a results-driven national framework that balances compassion with accountability: expanding treatment capacity, restoring neighborhood safety, and tracking outcomes, while moving beyond one size fits all “Housing First” approaches.

Public Safety, Criminal Justice, and Accountability

Kincaid is both pro-safety and pro-accountability. The campaign focuses on reducing street level crime, addressing repeat violent offenders, and rebuilding public trust in basic order. Key priorities include restoring institutional mental health care for the most severely ill, modernizing civil commitment laws with strong oversight, and supporting thoughtful reforms that strengthen community safety.

Crime, Guns, and Prevention

The campaign highlights a neglected issue in national debate the widespread theft and circulation of small handguns used in everyday street crime. Kincaid supports smart, enforceable policies that improve secure storage and prevent illegal firearm trafficking while protecting lawful ownership.

Taxes, Cost of Living, and Housing

Kincaid proposes major tax simplification to give working families concrete relief. The plan would eliminate federal income tax liability and filing requirements for most Americans earning around $61,000 or less, while closing loopholes for high earners and corporations. The platform also calls for expanded federal incentives to increase affordable housing supply and reduce cost pressures.

Healthcare Reform and Nurse Safety

Rather than launching a nationwide Medicare for All system overnight, Kincaid supports a Universal Healthcare Pilot Program a real world initiative to test what works before scaling nationally. The campaign also advocates for stronger safeguards for healthcare staff through a proposed Nurse Assault Prevention and Accountability Act , ensuring accountability for attacks on frontline caregivers.

Immigration and Labor

Kincaid rejects both extremes of immigration politics “sanctuary style” non-enforcement and mass deportation as unworkable. The campaign supports enforceable guest worker systems that balance fairness, labor needs, and border integrity. It also calls for reforming the H-1B program to target genuine skill shortages and prioritizes investment in automation in sectors like agriculture and construction to reduce long-term dependency on undocumented labor.

Women’s Safety and Fairness Agenda

Kincaid supports clear, consistent standards that preserve sex-based privacy in intimate spaces and fairness in women’s sports. The campaign believes women and girls deserve safety, dignity, and a voice in shaping rules that affect them directly.

Protecting Girls: Ending Child Marriage in America

Kincaid supports ending child marriage nationwide by establishing 18 as the minimum legal age without exceptions for parental consent, judicial waivers, or pregnancy.They’ve have been cases where American girls were legally married at 10, 11, or 12 legally. Also, since 2007 there have been nearly 8,700 spousal or fiancé visa approvals that have involved a minor (including some as young as 13)

Community Outreach and Neighborhood Protection

The campaign stands with local communities in historic neighborhoods such as Chinatown, Japantown, and Little Saigon working to reduce the impacts of crime, addiction, and chronic disorder. Kincaid supports policies that protect small businesses and preserve cultural heritage while improving public safety and quality of life.

Party Reform and Corporate Money

Kincaid is a moderate reform Democrat who believes the party must return to results-based problem solving. The campaign challenges the influence of corporate money, rejects political extremism, socialism, antisemitism and argues that representation should belong to everyday residents not to entrenched special interests.

Economy, Jobs, the Future of Work and Artificial Intelligence

Kincaid believes the economy must work for the people who build it not just shareholders and insiders. Washington is a high cost “company state,” and recent tech layoffs are a warning sign that the next wave of disruption will be bigger, driven by artificial intelligence, automation, and changing labor markets. The campaign supports an evidence based national strategy to protect opportunity and stability for working families by:

Rebalancing incentives so corporations invest more in people, innovation, and communities not just stock buybacks and short term share price boosts.
Preparing workers for AI era disruption with large scale, practical career transition pathways into fields like healthcare, clean energy, and advanced manufacturing paired with measurable outcomes, not slogans.
Modernizing workforce immigration rules by reforming programs like H-1B to prevent downward pressure on wages and to require truly equal pay for the same work.
Building long-term resilience by investing in productivity (including responsible automation in sectors like agriculture and construction) while reducing dependence on unstable labor pipelines.

Kincaid’s economic approach is pro-growth and pro-accountability. Reward real investment, protect the dignity of work, and ensure America is ready for what’s coming rather than pretending disruption won’t arrive.

Just Kincaid for now. Because of increasing political violence and doxing. I’m choosing not to share my full name publicly until I officially file to run for Congress between May 4 and May 8, 2026. This is purely a safety measure to postpone for as long as possible.The personal harassment and threats that have sadly become part of modern politics. "It doesn't matter who we are.

Kincaid’s statement on Microsoft job cuts

A few words on the recent Microsoft job cuts. Back in the old days, as they say, if you spoke out against a major employer, people would warn you,“Be careful this is a company town.” Well, Washington today is essentially a company state. Taking on Microsoft head on would be political suicide. Let me be clear. I am not attacking Microsoft, and I am not trying to start a war with them. But I do think it’s worth re-examining some of their decisions. For example, Microsoft has spent roughly $170 billion on stock buybacks over the past 10 years. That’s not unusual for large corporations, but instead of artificially inflating its own share price, some of that money could have been used for real investments investments in people, in innovation, in the communities that make Microsoft possible. We should also re-examine the H-1B visa program. Companies claim America doesn’t have enough skilled workers to fill key roles. Others say we do, but that companies prefer to hire from oversea...

Nurse Assault Prevention and Accountability Act of 2027

Nurse Assault Prevention and Accountability Act of 2027 Protecting the People Who Take Care of Us Overview Every day across America, nurses, certified nursing assistants (CNAs), and frontline healthcare workers walk into hospitals, clinics, and longterm care facilities not knowing if they’ll be respected or if they’ll be threatened, spat on, shoved, or worse. They’re not asking for praise. They’re asking for protection. According to recent data nearly three out of four workplace violence incidents in the private sector happen in healthcare. Seventy-five percent. Nurses are punched. CNAs are attacked. ER staff are threatened not just during pandemics, but during regular shifts, in everyday America. And yet in many states if someone assaults a nurse, if they throw a punch, slap, or spit on them. There may be no serious consequences at all. In too many places it’s treated like a minor misdemeanor. If it’s even prosecuted at all. That must change. P...

Kincaid's statement on Olympus Spa " Olympus Spa Is the Hill I'm Willing to Die On "

Let’s save Olympus Spa. I was truly shocked when I learned about the injustice that happened to Olympus Spa in Lynnwood. Honestly. I kept thinking WTF over and over again. Why? How? How is something like this even possible? At first, I thought this insanity would never hold up in court. I thought, “No way the people of Washington voted for this.” And I was right they didn’t . The voters didn’t decide this. The state legislature did. They passed a law saying that a biological man yes, even a man with male genitalia could put on a wig and a dress, and the state would declare him legally a woman . They would give him a new driver’s license with an “F” on it. And then they’d turn to places like Olympus Spa , a women only business where patrons are nude, and say: “You have to let him in. Or we’ll sue you.” It didn’t matter that female customers were uncomfortable being naked around men. It didn’t matter that this violated the Christian beliefs of a Korean-owned ...

Kincaid’s Strategy to End Homelessness

"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results," how America deals with homelessness is insanity. Turning the streets into the new asylums is insanity. Allowing people to setup drug dens on the sidewalk is insanity. Allowing a people with severe mental illness to live sidewalk is insanity. An elderly woman lost her eye because of this insanity. Almost daily we encounter people showing signs of mental illness or under the influence of drugs. On the streets, buses or trains. This is obviously a threat to public safety. It is insanity. It is not having compassion for the homeless. It’s not compassion for the elderly woman that lost her eye . It is insanity. For decades, we’ve seen government agencies from HUD to city and county programs. Spend billions of dollars to fight homelessness. But despite the money and the promises, the problem keeps getting worse. Why? Because most of our current programs are built on theories that don’t work in ...

Proposal: No Federal Income Tax for Persons Earning $61,000 or Less

No Federal Income Tax and Tax Filing for People Earning 61,000 or Less Summary This proposal would eliminate federal individual income tax liability for people earning $61,000 or less in total wage income, simplifying the tax system for tens of millions of working Americans while having minimal impact on federal revenue. So those people making about 29.33 an hour and under. Would pay zero federal income tax . And would not be required to file a tax return every year. Payroll taxes would still be taken out of paychecks . For example Social Security and Medicare . And that's it no federal tax taken out of paychecks. Rationale Based on IRS data from the past decade (2013–2022), households earning $61,000 or less make up approximately 50–60% of all U.S. tax filers. This group contributes only 2–3% of all federal individual income tax revenue, equal to $53–$79 billion per year, depending on the year. That amount is a rounding error in the Department of Defense. ...

The System Failed And an Innocent Woman Paid the Price The Tragic Case of Bethany MaGee / Lawrence Reed and Why We Need To Change Civil Commitment Laws When violent repeat offenders are allowed to roam freely despite years of warning signs, innocent people are left feeling like they are playing Russian roulette just to get to work. We have to bring back asylums . We have to change civil commitment laws . A few months after Iryna Zarutska was randomly stabbed in the neck and died on a train in North Carolina.

KINCAID Exploratory Committee

Announcing Exploratory Committee for Washington’s 1st Congressional District Today, I am announcing the formation of an exploratory committee to run for Congress in Washington’s 1st District. I am a Democrat and if I run, I will likely be challenging fellow Democrat, Representative Suzan DelBene, who has held this seat for over 12 years. The state of Washington ranks as one of the worst states to retire in. One major reason is affordability. But that won’t be a problem for Representative DelBene because like so many politicians, her net worth has skyrocketed during her time in office. In fact, according to Quiver Quantitative, it has more than doubled from $60 million to $126.34 million. That may sound shocking, but it’s not unusual. More than half of all members of Congress are millionaires. And among the top 10 wealthiest members, Suzan DelBene is number eight. Let me be clear: I’m not attacking people for being rich. I’d love to be rich. I have no doubt that being rich is fant...

Kincaid’s Statement on Antisemitic Attack Against Jewish Student in Seattle

This is a deeply disturbing case of antisemitism targeting a 15 year old Jewish girl at her high school in Seattle. This is racism. This is hate. This is evil. What the other students did to her is unconscionable and so is the failure of the school system to protect her. I call upon the Mayor of Seattle, the Governor of Washington, the State Attorney General, and all city, state, and federal representatives to condemn this act without hesitation. I urge them to fully investigate the students and staff involved, and to offer their unwavering support to the victim and her family. The people of Seattle and the entire state of Washington should be horrified that this happened. We should be embarrassed. We should be ashamed. There is an infection of evil spreading in our country, and this case is one of the most chilling symptoms. I fear what the students who committed this act may be capable of as adults if this hatred is left unchecked. Case Outline : Antisemitism at Nathan H...

Kincaid’s Gun Control Policy

I feel there has been a big hole in the debate on gun control policy. The focus has been on laws that will do little or nothing to protect people from the daily street crime happening across the country. There has never been enough focus on stolen handguns and on preventing guns from being stolen in the first place. As you know, home invasions and car thefts happen every day, and many times this results in guns being stolen. A criminal should not be able to simply break a glass window and walk away with a bag full of guns in a matter of minutes. There is no federal law requiring the secure storage of guns. A child safety lock may come with a gun, but there is no real requirement that you use it, and that does not prevent a gun from being stolen the way a lock box or safe would. A few states have laws requiring the safe storage of guns, but most do not. Right now, someone can leave a gun in the glove box of a car, and if that gun is stolen and later used in a crime, nothi...

Statement from Kincaid: To the people of Bellevue’s Eastgate neighborhood regarding the homeless shelters

Before we are able to solve the problem. It is important to know how the problem was created . Did the people of Bellevue want , ask for or vote for a homeless shelters in Eastgate ? So how did this happen. A Cabal , the ruling class. A group of people that believe they are superior to everyone else. King County , Bellevue, Kirkland and Redmond. Got together and made an agreement to do this. Important to know that this agreement was not legally binding . Bellevue was not legally required to do this. They made agreement for Bellevue ,Kirkland and Redmond to have homeless facilities that would be run by Plymouth Housing. It did not matter what the people said. The facilities were going to be built. The public hearings , the Bellevue City Council vote. It was all just for show. They was very strong opposition to the Eastgate location. To the people of the Eastgate community and the rest of Bellevue. I see you, and I hear your concerns. If elected ...
