King County Democrats

If I decide to officially run for office. I will be seeking endorsements from various organizations. One of them will be the King County Democrats . The first thing you have to do to seek an endorsement from them. Is to file out a questionnaire. Below are the questions from the 2026 questionnaire and my answers.

1) Please describe your background (education, employment, community and civic activity, union affiliation and political activity).

I’m a lifelong Democrat who is stepping forward because I believe our district and our party needs a stronger, more accountable, more solutions oriented kind of leadership right now. My civic engagement has been grounded in paying close attention to the lived reality of people across our region. The cost of living crisis, public safety concerns, the erosion of trust in institutions, and the feeling many families have that politics is no longer delivering results.

Politically, I have been clear that I am running as a practical moderate Democrat focused on affordability, public safety, real healthcare solutions, and protecting women’s sports and sex-based privacy with clear and respectful standards.

2) Why are you running for this position and what differentiates you as a candidate?

I’m running because Washington’s 1st District deserves a representative who is independent, fearless about telling the truth, and relentlessly focused on outcomes not slogans. Too many voters feel boxed into a choice between establishment politics and ideological politics. I’m offering something different. A solutions first Democrat focused on measurable results and restoring public trust.

What differentiates me is that I’m willing to tackle issues many Democrats avoid like the failures of our homelessness response, the reality of repeat offenders and public safety, and the need for clear standards that protect women’s sports and sex-based privacy while still fighting for core Democratic values like fairness, dignity, and opportunity.

3) If Democrats are successful in retaking the House in November, what actions will you support to retake the power and authority inherent in Congress being a coequal branch of government?

Democrats must treat congressional power as a constitutional responsibility not a partisan tool. If we retake the House, I will support:

• Aggressive oversight grounded in facts and transparency, including enforcing lawful subpoenas and ending the culture of “optional” compliance.

• Reasserting Congress’s power of the purse, including tighter guardrails on executive reprogramming of funds and clearer reporting requirements.

• Restoring war powers accountability, so major military actions require meaningful congressional authorization.

• Ethics and anti-corruption reforms, because public trust collapses when voters believe money and influence matter more than the public interest.

My broader aim is to restore “government that works” where Congress does its job, confronts hard problems, and produces durable solutions.

4) The Trump administration often ignores due process and long standing civil rights norms. What immigration policy and goals will you advocate for?

I will advocate for an immigration system that is fair, secure, and functional. That does not depend on exploitation. Our country has tolerated an economy that relies on millions of undocumented workers living in the shadows, particularly in agriculture and construction. That is not humane, it is not sustainable, and it is not consistent with the rule of law.

My goals are:

• Protect due process and civil rights for all persons under U.S. jurisdiction because that’s who we are as a country.

• Build a legal, transparent worker pipeline that matches labor supply with real economic needs and includes strong worker protections so we stop incentivizing undocumented exploitation.

• Invest in automation and innovation in sectors that have become structurally dependent on underpaid labor, so we modernize our economy instead of repeating the same cycle.

• Spend resources intelligently, focusing on fixing the system rather than performative enforcement that doesn’t change underlying incentives.

5) Republicans are taking extraordinary action to limit voting. In addition to passing the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, what actions will you take to protect and restore the integrity of individual voting rights?

I will support a comprehensive pro-democracy agenda, including:

• National standards that expand access: automatic voter registration where appropriate, same day registration options, and protections for early voting and vote by mail.

• Election administration funding so counties can run secure, modern elections with paper trails, audited results, and strong cybersecurity.

• Stronger protections against intimidation and harassment of voters and election workers.

• Cracking down on disinformation especially AI driven disinformation. While protecting First Amendment rights through transparency rules, provenance, and clear labeling for synthetic political media.

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. ...

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 ...
