Kincaid for Congress – Washington’s 1st District

A Real Discussion on Immigration This nation has never had the conversation on immigration that it actually needs the one that asks how we got here, why tensions are rising, and what kind of society we want to build. Instead, we get sound bites and photo ops. Politicians from both parties offer slogans, not solutions. They tell us these are jobs Americans won't do, and that we need immigrants to keep prices low. That is the full extent of the conversation. It is not honest, and it is not enough. The Uncomfortable Truth Today in America, 42% of agricultural workers are undocumented immigrants. So are 23% of construction workers. This is not a system built on fairness  it is a system built on exploitation. We have created an economy that depends on people who live in the shadows. Millions of workers who are essential to our daily lives, yet remain vulnerable, disposable, and frequently abused. The conditions endured by much of our undocumented workforce are not far remove...

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...

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...
