A new path in Washington State politics.
A new path in Washington State politics.
We are an independent member-driven state party. Our image reflects the majestic Cascade Mountain Range – uniting Eastern and Western Washington.
Our mission is to be the party of free speech and offer a new voice to the people of Washington at all levels of government. We invite you, whether you live in a small town or an urban center, to join us to become engaged by using our private social network and attending open in-person meetings.
We understand, appreciate and promote wealth creation and success. We recognize the roles of markets and trade in our prosperity, while acknowledging government’s role in cultivating a fair and efficient economy. Government has an obligation to find solutions to poverty and homelessness and protect its citizens.
We believe government can only be accountable to citizens if it is transparent. We support open government and all prudent actions that increase transparency. We reject any constructs that work to obscure the truth from citizens.
Housing: We prioritize affordable home ownership by increasing the supply of housing by reducing regulations and fostering market incentives. The rental market benefits everyone when regulations balance the interest of both renters and housing providers.
Public Safety: We prioritize safe communities. We support fully funding law enforcement alongside diversion programs such as drug courts, crisis counseling, and treatment-based alternatives that protect public safety while promoting recovery and accountability.
Accountable Governance: We support proportional representation at all levels of government. We support protecting our state redistricting commission process from partisanship. We support public disclosure on campaign advertising in all elections. We support fair elections without government interference or favoritism.
We support a Merit System to appoint judges — where the governor nominates candidates who are confirmed by a 60 percent majority vote of the state senate.
We support term limits for state executive elected positions.
Agriculture: We support advancing farming at all levels. We encourage policy to foster Washington family farms.
Environment: We are a party of conservation and preservation. We support the state acquiring land from willing sellers to benefit the public trust. We support restoring natural environments and resources.
Energy: We support energy independence and a market-driven solutions to meet our energy needs. We believe maintaining current hydropower dams is key to low-cost energy independence.
Health Care: We support a competitive, affordable and a higher quality transparent healthcare provider market. We advocate for transparent pricing for medical services.
Education: We support our state constitutional mandate that primary education is the paramount duty of state government. We support quality education at all levels including college, trades and workforce pathways.
Transportation: We prioritize choosing and maintaining efficient public and private transportation options. We demand accountability for public expenditures for transportation infrastructure.
Taxes: We support the state’s authority to prohibit local jurisdictions from levying local sales or excise taxes on targeted products or services.
