Kincaid for Congress – Washington’s 1st District

Trade Policy · Affordability · Consumer Rights May 30, 2026 Congress wants to ban Chinese cars from American roads. The proposed Protecting America from Chinese Cars Act would make it official. But the truth is the ban is already here. It just does not have that name yet. The tariffs currently imposed on Chinese electric vehicles exceed 100 percent. That is not a trade policy. That is a prohibition with a price tag attached. I am against it. And I want to explain why. You Are Already Driving a "Chinese" Car and Do Not Know It Volvo is owned by Geely  a Chinese company. Most Americans think of Volvo as a Swedish brand. They buy Volvos because they are safe, reliable and well designed. They did not buy a Chinese car. They bought a Swedish car that happens to be owned by a Chinese company. The world did not end. National security was not compromised. Life went on. Just days ago  Volvo had to go to the Trump administration and negotiate a special exemption just to...

Jeff Bezos Is Catching Up to a  Tax Plan I Proposed a Year Ago This week  Jeff Bezos went on CNBC and called for eliminating federal income tax for the bottom half of American earners. He pointed to a nurse making $75,000 a year and asked why she should be sending more than a thousand dollars a month to Washington. He noted that the bottom half of earners pay only about 3 percent of all federal income taxes.  He said that number should be zero. In his words, "I don't want to reduce it, I want to eliminate it." I Proposed This in July 2025 I agree. And I have agreed since July 3rd, 2025  ten months before Mr. Bezos said a word . When I published this exact proposal on my campaign website. My plan eliminates federal income tax for every American earning $61,000 or less. The case I made then is the same case Mr. Bezos is making now. This group already carries its weight through payroll, sales and local taxes. It accounts for only 2 to 3 percent of federal inc...

Washington’s 1st Congressional District  After driving Starbucks to Nashville, Mayor Katie Wilson has set her sights on REI. It’s time for the co-op to do what Starbucks should have done  move across the city line, not across the state line. Washington’s 1st Congressional District  |  May 2026 Seattle has a pattern now. A company is born here, grows here, becomes a symbol of the Pacific Northwest  and then the city’s leadership declares war on it. We watched it happen to Starbucks. We may be watching it happen to REI. Just nine days after winning the Seattle mayoral election, Katie Wilson stood on a picket line outside Starbucks and told the crowd.  “I am not buying Starbucks, and you should not either.” That was her first public act as mayor elect. Not a policy announcement. Not a housing plan. A boycott of a company that employs thousands of Seattleites, offers health care, paid vacation and f...

Kincaid believes taxpayer money should never be used to cover up crimes and misconduct by members of Congress. This is not a vital function of government. This is not a need. This is a misuse of your tax dollars. For decades Congress has run a taxpayer funded account. The account pays settlements for workplace complaints against members and their offices including sexual harassment claims. The names of the members stay hidden. Critics call the account what the account is. A slush fund. Congress protects its own like a college sorority. Not like public servants who answer to you. Congress did not build this account to solve misconduct on Capitol Hill. Congress built this account to bury misconduct. Pay the complaint. Hide the name. Move on. Here is the uncomfortable truth underneath all of this. Most Americans would not trust a member of Congress alone with their children. Consider the pages. Senate pages are high school students. Sitting senators sponsor them one by one. Pages de...

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. According to Seattle news reports. A 15 year old girl was waiting for the bus at the Northgate transit stop when Joshua V. Kowalczewski age 36. Rode up on a bicycle, asked her age, told her she was attractive. Then threatened her and forced her into nearby woods. Where police say he sexually assaulted her. Kowalczewski has been arrested and charged. And is being held on $1 million bail.  The reason this case has drawn public attention is his record. According to KIRO 7 . Kowalczewski had 28 arrests and 13 convictions spanning 19 years. And 9 active warrants across 5 jurisdictions at the time of the arrest. Reporting indicates 46 warrants have been issued against him s...

Kincaid for Congress -- Statement on the Chinatown International District Kincaid Will Request Federal Investigations into Seattle's Treatment of the Chinatown International District Everyone is excited about the FIFA World Cup coming to Seattle. Many restaurants and other businesses will see a big boost in traffic and make a lot of money. It is doubtful that businesses in Chinatown will see any benefits from it. Just like in all past big events that came to Seattle. If elected Kincaid will formally request federal investigations into the City of Seattle and King County over their treatment of the Chinatown International District. This is not a symbolic gesture. It is a specific set of requests to specific federal agencies with specific statutory authority. The Record Speaks for Itself By 2022  there were 15 homeless shelters within one mile of the CID. That same year  King County expanded a 270 bed shelter bordering the neighborhood into a 419 bed services hub. On...

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 future is bringing. We ...

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. Where I Stand I believe climate change is real. I believe the response to it must be practical, measurable and fair to working people. I am not interested in symbolic legislation. That looks good on paper and does nothing in practice. I am interested in results. Washington State is not meeting its own climate goals. That is a failure of leadership  not of ambition. 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. Policy Pillars 01 · Clean Energy as a Jobs Pipe...
