Also in this race is Satwinder Kaur's fellow Kent City Council member, Republican Bill Boyce. He has just a few points on his agenda available on his site, including repealing the state's long-term care program. Boyce's desire to cut back on health care is unfortunate; according to NPR, about 70 percent of those over the age of 65 will need long-term care for everyday needs like bathing and dressing, not to mention people of any age who require a caregiver.
Despite his campaign's emphasis on inflation and his note that he will fight regressive taxes, he makes no mention of making the wealthy finally pay their share. The Republicans in Olympia he hopes to join have voted against a wealth tax, capital gains tax, and other measures aimed at making corporations and extraordinarily wealthy individuals pay what they owe our communities, and Boyce would likely vote similarly if elected.
