Tracy Rushing is an ER doctor who is running to strengthen the health care system and advocate for a strong economy that doesn't sacrifice the environment. Instead of forcing people with mental illnesses into prisons and using emergency rooms as the fallback for those who can't afford care, Rushing wants to see the state fund food security, break cycles of poverty, and invest in community health. She highlights the importance of local agriculture and would seek to ensure that farmworkers have adequate protections against the coronavirus as well as living wages and "humane immigration policy."
Rushing is running against incumbent Rep. Chris Corry, who has served in this position since 2019. Corry was one of the four Republican lawmakers to sue Gov. Inslee over his stay-at-home orders during the pandemic. Corry and his colleagues' assertion that "the threat has faded" is both erroneous and wildly dangerous to his constituents. Corry has also been a no vote on a wide range of progressive policies in the last two sessions, including efforts to make the state carbon-free by 2045, expand residential tenant protections, ban plastic bags, and establish a public option for health care coverage.
Rushing is the best choice in this race.

Young people deserve accurate information to help them make good decisions, to protect themselves, and to protect their futures. But today, too many students don’t receive high-quality, inclusive, medically accurate education about sex and healthy relationships, putting them at risk of sexual assault, unintended pregnancies, and sexually transmitted infections. In particular, students of color are more likely to receive incomplete or incorrect sex education.
