Integrity: One must govern with a pure heart in all that you do, with the utmost integrity. An official must never use his or her office to favor partisan in support of or in opposition, even in social media accounts. We must uphold the checks and balances of our US Constitution. We must be a people above reproach.
Transparency: I believe the people of Washington has a right to an open policy when conducting all business of the state. Emails and other communications must be secured with a permanent record for immediate opening when government requested.
Independent: To stand firm in treating all parties fairly adhering to the laws of the state.
It is imperative that this stand is taken when making decisions affecting contributors.
Fairness: Open communication can mitigate potential issues of unfairness. State administrators must be fair in reaching out to all community stakeholders when making decisions that could seem potentially biased. We don’t endorse or make gifts to candidates that support or oppose ballot issues. Exemplify high standards when contracting for services like open and competitive biddings.

Fairness in open communication which will mitigate potential issues of unfairness when reaching out to all community stakeholders when making decisions that could seem potentially biased. We don’t endorse or make gifts to candidates that support or oppose ballot issues. Exemplify high standards when contracting for services like open and competitive biddings. I possess the competence to serve all precincts with equitable attention to detail. I am gifted with imperial wisdom, knowledge, and understanding in the official capacity of office in which to establish order and to repair what has been divided among you. I am fully armored with the necessary tools in which to serve, lead, support, and protect the people of the State of Washington to a fulfilled resolution of change. The American flag was weaved together for the American people to work together, not separate, whether Democrat, Republican, or other, we will began a new era of trust and restored as one people. “We The People of.”
The US flag represents unity as the colors are red, white, and blue. There is no separation in our flag, so why should there be disunity among the people.
We will work together!
The governor's primary responsibilities are to:
Serve as the state's chief executive officer and oversees the functions of the executive branch of government.
Report to the General Assembly and the citizens of Washington on the condition of the state each January. Recommend legislation to the General Assembly. Review bills that are approved by both the House and Senate.
Never forget the voices of the cloud of witnesses gone before us. If we fail to learn from our mistakes we will continue to repeat the past, this will surely destroy a nation.

People of the world today are fading
All of us have our ups and downs
You better think about it or you won't be around
What we need is a little bit of love
Sent by One from Heaven above
Take it from "T.", it's simple and plain
This ain't no game, you know what I'm sayin'?
[Chorus:
It's time, time to make a change
(We are the people who can do it
It's time (Time) time to make a change
We are His people, we can do it

Seems like everyone is running from the truth
We must stand up and fight
Walk into the light
We are the people, we can do it, if we try

It's time, time to make a change
(We are the people who can do it
It's time (Time) time to make a change

budgets. I do believe their could be some collaboration if warranted.
I love the sunrise in the eastern parts, I love the togetherness of the people making a brand-new start. I love embracing the vision of unity as we restore what has been divided among us. I love working together side by side with the people, to restore justice and equality. Having the vision of setting a precedence in which to strengthen, bring hope, and real answers to our state by repairing the breach. I love the diversity of the people, as we truly represent what our nation should resemble.
We have a decent economy, and a lot of people want to move to Washington, with that comes an increase in crime, homelessness, and housing prices to go insanely high so we must work hard to deal with these problems since they won't go away on their own.
Environmental issues we face today
Environmental issues and human progress are intimately connected. The incredible progress from the Industrial Revolution gave humanity the best health, wealth, and security in world history. It’s also caused irreparable damage to our natural environment. Each environmental issue is connected. These are some of the biggest environmental issues, we face today:
Air pollution: There are two types of air pollution. Outdoor air pollution and indoor air pollution.
Animal welfare: is an environmental issue for several reasons.
PETA: stands for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. It is the largest animal rights
Biodiversity loss: is the extinction and reduction of plant and animal species and ecological diversity.
Coral bleaching: is an environmental issue today.
Energy: The environmental problem with energy today is that 80% of the energy we use in the United States comes from fossil fuels, according to the US Energy Administration
As a being a part of United Nations, Education, Science, and Cultural Organization ( UNESCO), we believe that every single person on earth has a right to modern energy and electricity.
Martial law: is mandated, when civil rights are severely restricted by the imposition of military force within a Sovereign state, for example during a period of extreme threat of invasion or actual hostilities by foreign forces.
State of siege: when the civil rights of specified persons or groups such as political activists are likely to be curtailed, for example to prevent an insurrection or organized acts of treason by suspected agents provocateurs
Civil emergency: dealing with disaster areas and requiring the deployment of extraordinary resources to contain dangerous situations such as natural disasters or extensive malicious property damage such as may occur during rioting or by arson. As well as regular emergency services, sometimes military forces may be assigned to deliver aid under especially dangerous conditions or to prevent looting.
There is also the provision mandated for the international law, where rights and freedoms may be suspended during a state of emergency, depending on the severity of the emergency and the government's policies.
Transparency enhances the checks and balances established within the constitution of the united states, as well as consistent accountability. It embraces the open-door policy for informing and engaging citizens in the matters of state Government as well as ensuring information by the Federal Government should set a national example for all.
Today, if Washingtonians are dissatisfied with certain laws or feel new laws are needed, they can petition to place proposed legislation on the ballot. The process is termed INITIATIVE because the electorate can initiate legislation. The electorate can either place a proposition directly on the ballot or it can submit the proposed law to the Legislature at the regular legislative session allowing the elected representatives an opportunity to enact the proposed legislation themselves instead of placing the matter on the ballot.
The REFERENDUM allows citizens, through the petition process, to refer acts of the Legislature to the ballot before they become law. The referendum also permits the Legislature itself to refer proposed legislation to the electorate for approval or rejection.
The initiative and referendum processes guarantee Washington’s electorate the right to legislate.
Sponsors of initiative or referendum measures must obtain a substantial number of petition signatures from registered voters in order to certify their measures to the ballot or to the Legislature. Washington’s history has shown the initiative and referendum processes to be effective in protecting the people’s interests. In fact, many of our most significant laws, such as our public disclosure laws, were enacted by this process.
