Nicole Gomez is running on the motto of creating an economy that works for everyone. She works on the Universal Health Care Commission and is the co-founder of healthcare policy nonprofit Alliance for a Healthy Washington. In addition, she's the executive director of the Institute for a Democratic Future which trains future Democratic policy leaders. Gomez has also served as chair of the 36th District Democrats and is a current precinct committee officer.
In our interview with Gomez, she described how her family became homeless due to the illness of a family member when she was young, which has spurred her to fight for working families. She is supportive of bills like Rep. Bateman's middle housing bill, which if passed would have created opportunities for homes like triplexes and duplexes near transit. For people who need housing and behavioral health, Gomez also supports wraparound services. As a member of the policy committee of the Balance Our Tax Code coalition, she is ready to support policies like a wealth tax on extraordinarily high earners, which would help flip Washington's status as having the most regressive tax code in the nation.

There are two good candidates running for secretary of state who would bring different priorities and professional experience to the job: Steve Hobbs and Julie Anderson. Both are committed to increasing voter participation. Hobbs has earned the support of more elected officials and Progressive Voters Guide partner organizations.
