Campaign Music

Music has always been one of the most powerful ways to connect people to a cause. These songs were not chosen randomly. Each one carries a message or a theme that connects to this campaign, to the people of Washington's 1st District, and to the broader fight for a better future.

Some of these songs you may know well. Some may be new to you. But from now on, when you hear any of them, I hope you will think of this campaign  and of the idea that ordinary people, standing together, can change things.

```

Song 1

Higher I Will Go - Jamie

Campaign theme: Despite the doubts, despite the obstacles, despite the people who say it can't be done  the only direction is up. This campaign is not backing down. We are going higher.



Song 2

Stand Up for Something  - Andra Day featuring Common

Campaign theme: You cannot just talk the talk you have to walk the walk. Written for a film about Thurgood Marshall, this song became a protest anthem for every generation that refused to stay silent in the face of injustice. This campaign was built on exactly that idea. Standing up matters, even when it costs something.




Song 3

I Think We Started Something - Photronique featuring Elaine Faye

Campaign theme: The moment a movement begins, it takes on a life of its own. What started as one voice in Washington's 1st District is becoming something larger  something that belongs to all of us. We started something. And we are just getting started.




Song 4

In the Name of Love -  Martin Garrix and Bebe Rexha

Campaign theme: Kincaid and the voters of Washington's 1st District coming together, fighting for a better future  in the name of love for this community, for working families, and for the kind of America we know is possible. This is what a campaign powered by people, not corporations, looks like.




Song 5

Invincible  -  Pat Benatar

Campaign theme: We cannot afford to be innocent standing on the sidelines while the wrong people make the decisions. It is a do or die situation, and with the power of conviction behind us, we will be invincible. This song was written for a young woman who refused to back down. So is this campaign.




Song 6

In the Name of Love  -  Jacob Banks

Campaign theme: This song was written for The Equalizer  a man who fights for those who have no one else fighting for them. The film's director said it carries "a beautiful and important message about love that reflects exactly what our world needs to hear today." That is this campaign in a sentence. Fighting for the people who have been overlooked, underrepresented, and left behind.




Song 7

Will You Be There  - Michael Jackson

Campaign theme: A gospel inspired anthem about needing someone to hold you up when the weight of the world is too heavy. Michael Jackson asked the question. This campaign answers it  yes. When the people of Washington's 1st District are struggling  with housing costs, with public safety, with a government that seems to have forgotten them Kincaid will be there.




Song 8

Castles - Savannah Dexter and Brabo Gator

Campaign theme: Right now it's a struggle. The bills are piling up. Things are hard. But one day  if we fight for it we will dance in castles. That future is possible. It is worth building. Working families in this district deserve not just survival, but the chance to thrive. That is what this campaign is fighting for.




Song 9

Waiting on the World to Change  - John Mayer

Campaign theme: John Mayer captured the frustration of a generation that sees everything that is wrong  and feels powerless to change it. This campaign is the answer to that feeling. We are done waiting. One day our generation is going to rule the population. That day is now. Stop waiting for someone else to fix this. Run. Vote. Fight.




Song 10

I'll Stand by You -  Natalie Taylor

Campaign theme: When you are struggling, when you feel lost, when the weight is too much  this campaign will stand by you. Not just on Election Day. Every day. To every working family in this district who feels abandoned by their current representation. I will stand by you. That is a promise.




Song 11

Keep Ya Head Up  -  2Pac

Campaign theme: In 1993, 2Pac wrote some of the most powerful words ever recorded about the dignity, strength, and worth of women  and the responsibility of men to stand up for them. These words are just as true today as they were then. This campaign stands for women. It always will.

And since we all came from a woman
Got our name from a woman and our game from a woman
I wonder why we take from our women
Why we rape our women, do we hate our women?
I think it's time to kill for our women
Time to heal our women, be real to our women

And since a man can't make one
He has no right to tell a woman when and where to create one

So will the real men get up
I know you're fed up ladies, but keep your head up

— 2Pac, Keep Ya Head Up (1993)

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 Protecting the People Who Protect Us Every day across America, nurses, certified nursing assistants (CNAs), and frontline healthcare workers walk into hospitals, clinics, and long term care facilities not knowing whether they will be respected or threatened spat on, shoved, or worse. They are not asking for praise. They are asking for protection. According to recent data, nearly three out of four workplace violence incidents in the private sector occur in healthcare settings. Seventy five percent. Nurses are punched. CNAs are attacked. Emergency room staff are threatened not just during pandemics, but during routine shifts in everyday hospitals, in everyday America. And yet, in many states, if someone assaults a nurse throws a punch, delivers a slap, or spits in their face  there may be no serious consequences whatsoever. In too many places, it is treated as a minor m...

Kincaid’s statement on Microsoft job cuts

A Few Words on the Recent Microsoft Job Cuts Back in the old days, if you spoke out against a major employer, people would warn you: "Be careful  this is a company town." Well, Washington State today is essentially a company state. Taking on Microsoft directly would be political suicide for most. Let me be clear: I am not attacking Microsoft, and I am not looking to start a fight with them. But I do think some of their decisions deserve a closer look. Stock Buybacks vs. Real Investment Over the past ten years, Microsoft has spent roughly $170 billion on stock buybacks. That practice is not unusual among large corporations, but it raises a fair question. Instead of artificially inflating its own share price, could some of that money have been put to better use . Invested in people, in innovation, and in the communities that made Microsoft what it is today? Re-examining the H-1B Visa Program We should also take a hard look at the H-1B visa program.

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

Let's Save Olympus Spa I was genuinely shocked when I learned what happened to Olympus Spa in Lynnwood. I kept asking myself. How? Why? How is something like this even possible in America? At first, I assumed this would never hold up in court. I thought there was no way the people of Washington had voted for this. And I was right they didn't. The voters never decided this. The state legislature did. They passed a law declaring that a biological male including one with male genitalia could be legally recognized as a woman by the state. A new driver's license. A new legal designation. And then the state turned to places like Olympus Spa a women only business where patrons are nude  and said: "You must let him in. Or we will sue you." It did not matter that female customers were deeply uncomfortable being unclothed around biological males. It did not matter that this directly violated the sincere religious beliefs of a Korean owned women's spa. It did n...

Kincaid’s Strategy to End Homelessness

Three Crises, Three Solutions: A New Approach to Homelessness Current homelessness policy has failed. It is time for an honest, structured, and compassionate response . One that matches the cause to the cure. "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." By that definition, the way America deals with homelessness is insanity. Turning the streets into the new asylums is insanity. Allowing people to set up drug dens on the sidewalk is insanity. Allowing people with severe mental illness to live on the sidewalk is insanity. An elderly woman lost her eye because of this insanity. Many innocent people have been killed because of this insanity. Almost daily, we encounter people showing signs of mental illness or who are under the influence of drugs on the streets, on buses, on trains. This is obviously a threat to public safety. It is insanity. It is not compassion for the homeless. It is not compassion for the elde...

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

No Federal Income Tax or 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. In practical terms, anyone earning approximately $29.33 per hour or less would pay zero federal income tax and would no longer be required to file a tax return each year. Payroll taxes  Social Security and Medicare would still be deducted from paychecks as they are today. Beyond that, nothing. No additional federal tax withheld. No annual filing requirement. Rationale Based on IRS data from the past decade (2013–2022), households earning $61,000 or less make up approximately 50 to 60 percent of all U.S. tax filers. Yet this group contributes only 2 to 3 percent of all federal individual income tax revenue roughly $53 to $79 billion per year, depending o...

The Tragic Failure Behind the Lawrence Reed / Bethany MaGee Case

The System Failed And an Innocent Woman Paid the Price The Tragic Case of Bethany McGee, Lawrence Reed, and Why We Must Reform Civil Commitment Laws When violent repeat offenders are allowed to roam freely despite decades of documented warning signs, innocent people are left playing Russian roulette simply by going about their daily lives. We must bring back long term psychiatric care. We must reform civil commitment laws. And we must stop pretending that what we are doing is working. Just months after Iryna Zarutska was randomly stabbed in the neck and killed on a train in North Carolina, another senseless attack occurred  this time on a train in Chicago. On November 17, 2025, Bethany McGee, a 26-year-old woman, was riding the CTA Blue Line when a man named Lawrence Reed poured gasoline on her and set her on fire. She was left fighting for her life. As horrifying as this attack was, it should not have come as a surprise. It was the predictable result of a system that had i...

KINCAID Exploratory Committee

Updated April 2026 Today, I am announcing my candidacy for Congress in Washington's 1st Congressional District. I have filed official candidacy paperwork with the Federal Election Commission. I am a Democrat challenging fellow Democrat Representative Suzan DelBene, who has held this seat for more than 12 years. State filing will be completed during Washington State's filing period of May 4 - 8, 2026. Washington State ranks among the worst states in the nation for retirees  largely due to the cost of living. But affordability is unlikely to be a personal concern for Representative DelBene. Like so many career politicians, her personal wealth has grown dramatically during her time in office. According to Quiver Quantitative, her net worth has more than doubled since she was first elected  from $60 million to an estimated $141.5 million. That may sound extraordinary, but it is not unusual. More than half of all members of Congress are millionaires. I am not criticizing anyo...

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

Understanding the Problem Before we can solve this problem, it is important to understand how it originated. Did the people of Bellevue want, ask for, or vote for homeless shelters in Eastgate? So how did this happen? A small ruling class a group of people who believe they are superior to everyone else made this decision. King County, Bellevue, Kirkland, and Redmond came together and reached an agreement to move forward with these shelters. It is important to note that this agreement was not legally binding . Bellevue was under no legal obligation to participate. The agreement called for Bellevue, Kirkland, and Redmond to host homeless facilities operated by Plymouth Housing and it did not matter what residents had to say. The facilities were going to be built regardless. The public hearings and the Bellevue City Council vote were little more than formalities. There was very strong opposition to the Eastgate location, and that opposition was ignored. To the People of Eastgate a...

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

What happened to a 15-year-old Jewish girl at Nathan Hale High School in Seattle is not just deeply disturbing. It is a case study in how antisemitism spreads when institutions fail to confront it  and in how that failure, left unchecked, produces something genuinely terrifying. This is racism. This is hate. This is evil. And the response from the school system made it worse. 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 attack without hesitation. I urge them to fully investigate every student and staff member 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 ...

Kincaid’s Gun Control Policy

Gun Safety That Works: Stopping Gun Theft Before It Happens There is a significant gap in the national debate on gun control policy. The overwhelming focus has been on laws that do little or nothing to protect people from the daily street crime happening in communities across the country. Far too little attention has been paid to stolen handguns  and to preventing guns from being stolen in the first place. Home invasions and vehicle thefts happen every day, and in many cases they result in firearms being stolen. A criminal should not be able to smash a car window and walk away with a bag full of guns in a matter of minutes. Yet right now, in most of America, that is exactly what can happen  with minimal consequence for anyone. Only 16 states and the District of Columbia require gun owners to report a lost or stolen firearm. Think about that for a moment. There is no federal law requiring the secure storage of guns. A child safety lock may be included with a firearm purch...
