Priorities

Dr. Kathy Richardson’s Key Campaign Priorities

Clear, concise looks at Dr. Kathy Richardson’s priorities as your representative.

Safer Communities & Public Accountability

Families deserve to feel safe in their homes, neighborhoods, schools, and communities.

I believe government must focus on its core responsibilities, support effective public safety, and ensure accountability at every level. Safe communities are essential for strong families, thriving businesses, and long‑term economic stability.

I support practical solutions that strengthen communities, improve accountability, and restore public trust.

Affordability, Economic Opportunity & Fiscal Responsibility

Hard‑working families should be able to build a stable future and get ahead.

I support responsible stewardship of taxpayer dollars, practical economic policies, and a government that lives within its means. I believe hard work should create opportunity—not make it harder for families to succeed.

My focus is on supporting small businesses, protecting economic opportunity, and helping make Washington more affordable for working families.

Practical Healthcare & Workforce Solutions

As a nurse practitioner, educator, and healthcare leader, I understand how healthcare challenges affect families and communities every day.

I support practical, patient‑centered solutions that improve access to care, strengthen the healthcare workforce, reduce unnecessary barriers, and support healthier communities across Washington.

I believe healthcare policy should be informed by real‑world experience and focused on helping patients—not expanding bureaucracy.

Common‑Sense Leadership Grounded in Service

I have spent nearly 30 years serving others through military service, healthcare, education, and business leadership.

As a 20‑year Army veteran, I understand sacrifice, accountability, and the importance of leadership grounded in service—not political theater.

I am committed to supporting veterans, military families, and the broader community through practical solutions, responsible leadership, and a government that listens to, represents, and serves the people.
