Kincaid for Congress – Washington’s 1st District

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. Now we have a woman that was randomly set on fire on a train in Chicago. On November 17, 2025, Chicago saw one of the most horrific acts of random violence in recent memory. Bethany MaGee a 26-year-old woman was riding the CTA Blue Line when a man Lawrence Reed. Poured gasoline on her and set her on fire. She was left fighting for her life.  A s shocking as this attack was, it should not have been a surprise. It was the predictable result ...

  Chinatown, Japantown, and Little Saigon Deserve Better The historic neighborhoods of Chinatown, Japantown, and Little Saigon are not part of Washington’s 1st Congressional District. They  belong to District 7, represented by Pramila Jayapal since 2017. Many of the families and business owners there are immigrants or children of immigrants who followed the legal immigration process and built their lives through hard work and resilience. Yet these communities have been forced to bear the brunt of Seattle’s ongoing drug, crime, and homelessness crisis. Despite years of pleas, the mayor and city council have offered little meaningful action. With the new administration in Seattle, many fear conditions will only continue to worsen. Representative Jayapal has been more focused on pushing national ideological agendas. Including her support for the Housing Not Handcuffs Act, which would make it even harder for cities to address chronic street disorder than on help...

"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 ...

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 ...

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...
