Community Service: As an activist, Bryan fights to end the corrupting influence of crony corporatism in Washington. His next undertaking is as a volunteer with the Seattle is Weak project aimed at ending homelessness, and strengthening those in need.

Statement: Every four years, pundits left and right warn of dire consequences if the other team gets elected. For some reason, they believe that the only way for us to win is if the other team loses. I believe that is a false choice. I know that we can-- and we must!-- do better. Luckily, Washington's top-two primary system eliminates the spoiler effect, so we can freely vote our conscience.

End homelessness with a basic income. Washington spends an incredible amount of money on assistance programs, yet every year our homeless population grows. These programs drive costs and keep the poor from getting the help they need. While government grows, benefits shrink. Why not cut this wasteful overhead, and pass the savings directly to the poor?

End the predictable gridlock on i-405. After years-long toll lane additions, we somehow find ourselves with worse traffic. Much was promised: faster commutes, safer freeways, more funding. Yet the data disagrees: Commutes are slower by up to 25 minutes each way. Accidents are up year over year. And the majority of tolls has gone directly into corporate pockets. Let's end this failed experiment!

I humbly ask you for your vote.
