Kincaid for Congress – Washington’s 1st District

Statement - Kincaid for Congress - Washington's 1st District - 2026 Background Checks for All Taxpayer Funded Housing Facilities The Housing First model has no system to detect residents with active warrants. That is not a policy gap. It is a public safety failure. And a 15 year old girl paid the price. A 15 year old girl was waiting for the bus at the Northgate transit bus stop . Joshua V. Kowalczewski, 36, rode up on a bicycle, asked her age, told her she was attractive and then threatened her and forced her into the nearby woods where he sexually assaulted this innocent child. Kowalczewski had 28 arrests and 13 convictions spanning 19 years. He had 9 active warrants across 5 jurisdictions at the time of the attack. He has had 46 warrants issued against him since 2008.

By Kincaid  ·  Kincaid for Congress, Washington's 1st District There is a saying that is often attributed to Albert Einstein,   "In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity." America is currently facing three converging crises  a housing crisis, a climate and energy crisis, and an emerging electricity demand crisis that most Americans have not yet fully grasped. Washington D.C. has been treating each one as a separate problem, throwing money at symptoms rather than addressing root causes. This campaign believes these three crises are connected  and that solving one intelligently can help solve the others. That requires a different kind of thinking. Not the kind Washington D.C. has been doing. Crisis One: Housing America does not have enough housing. What housing exists is too expensive, too slow to build, and as anyone who has watched a neighborhood burn in California or flood in Florida knows  not durable enough to withstand what the fu...

Kincaid for Congress · WA-01 Kincaid's Climate and Environmental Policy Washington's environment is one of our greatest assets  Puget Sound, the Cascades, our clean air and water. Protecting it isn't just the right thing to do. It's an economic opportunity, and it's how we replace the jobs that automation and AI are already eliminating.

The solutions already exist what's missing is the political will to fund, build, and deploy them at scale, and to make sure the workers who need new opportunities are first in line for the jobs they create. ...
