I’m a fourth generation Eastern Washingtonian from Spokane’s Hillyard neighborhood. I’m proud to be raising my kids and running my practice here. My childhood was marked with hard times and family struggles, but I developed a strong work ethic and determination to secure a better future that I’ll take to Congress.

Workers and families are struggling to make ends meet with the high price of gas, groceries, housing, and childcare. As a mom and business owner, I get it. Too many are at risk of going broke if they get sick or injured. Corporations making record profits, while paying poverty wages and unduly influencing policy, is not acceptable. We must ensure government works for the People, regardless of appearance, abilities, or address. I will prioritize tackling inflation, strengthening Unions, improving healthcare access and lowering costs, reducing education costs and debt, investing in childcare, expanding rural broadband, fixing roads and bridges, addressing climate change, and protecting voter rights.

Together, we can stop the extremism, the partisanship, and find common ground to move our communities forward. I’d be honored to earn your vote.

Endorsed: State Senator Andy Billig, State Representative Marcus Riccelli, State Representative Timm Ormsby, Former State Senator Lisa Brown, WA State Labor Council AFL-CIO, and many more.

Access to Womans Healthcare and Reproductive Rights, gun safety, access to quality. affordable childcare, eliminating student loan debt, protecting our democracy and voting rights, workers rights and strengthening our union, and more.

Note: Ballotpedia reserves the right to edit Candidate Connection survey responses. Any edits made by Ballotpedia will be clearly marked with [brackets] for the public. If the candidate disagrees with an edit, he or she may request the full removal of the survey response from Ballotpedia.org. Ballotpedia does not edit or correct typographical errors unless the candidate's campaign requests it.



Campaign website

Hill’s campaign website stated the following:

Natasha is running for Congress because working families have been left behind in favor of corporations and millionaires and we have not seen increases in the health, well-being or safety of our communities that has been promised for decades. Having grown up in Eastern Washington, in a family that struggled to make ends meet, taking on six figures of student loan debt to pursue her education; being a renter, a single mother to two children, a woman of color, and a small business owner, Natasha understands first-hand the struggles of so many people across the Fifth Congressional District.

Our Rights & Freedoms

  • Codify Roe v. Wade and expand access to healthcare and contraception. Medical decisions are between a person and their healthcare provider; the government cannot be allowed to intrude in our private affairs or make decisions based on religious beliefs.
  • Strengthen worker’s rights to ensure employers pay fair wages and benefits, and provide safe work processes, procedures and environment, including passing legislation like the PRO Act.
  • Ensure Marriage Equality and protect the privacy rights of all citizens and families, including passing the Respect for Marriage Act to protect interracial and same sex marriages.
  • Protect our democracy and uphold our Constitution to prevent further attempts to undermine our elections and overthrow our government.

Our Families & Future

  • Make the child tax credit permanent and ensure childcare is affordable and accessible for every family in the United States, rural or urban.
  • Reinvest in our K-12 school system by increasing educator pay and benefits, supporting special education and virtual learning, and providing more opportunities for hands-on learning in science, technology, engineering, art, and math.
  • Expand rural healthcare options to make healthcare more accessible and invest in the WSU School of Medicine to provide an even larger pipeline of doctors for our district.
  • Pass Medicare for all and expand coverage for mental health and addiction services, and to include dental insurance.
  • Continue to increase social security and veteran benefits to ensure our most valuable and vulnerable can maintain their quality of life.
  • Fight for our farmers and agricultural worker’s livelihoods as weather patterns change growing cycles and conditions, and we focus on healthy soil practices to sustain agricultural productivity and protect environmental resources.
  • Invest in renewable and sustainable energy, like wind farms and clean fuel, while we transition away from fossil fuels to reduce emissions and pollution.

​​ Our Wallets

  • Raise the minimum wage and ensure that any American that works forty hours a week can meet their basic needs and live a quality life.
  • Bring infrastructure projects to our district from the bipartisan infrastructure package that will create good paying trade jobs and revitalize our transportation infrastructure.
  • Ease inflation coming out of the pandemic by investing in America and putting people back to work, while increasing worker rights and protections.
  • Support tax policy that rewards small business, innovation, and hard working people, while also making sure the wealthiest individuals and corporations in our country pay their fair share.
  • Build on price reductions for prescription drugs. We’ve already capped the price of insulin at $35 a month. Let’s not stop there.

​​ Our Government & Legal System

  • Pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act and remove restrictive voting laws intended to suppress turnout among minorities, young adults, and the elderly.
  • Overhaul our criminal justice system to address disproportionate harm racism that has been rooted in our institutions since the beginning.
  • Increase oversight and accountability of law enforcement agencies and ensure truly independent investigations and fair prosecutions of misconduct and deadly use of force incidents.
  • Aggressively pursue anti-corruption legislation and protect national security interests to ensure Americans are not being exploited.
  • Legalize cannabis nationally and automatically expunge all non-violent cannabis convictions to remove existing conflicts and disparities created by the States’ legal, regulated cannabis marketplaces.[2]

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in Washington

A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
