Kincaid for Congress – Washington’s 1st District

Kincaid's Plan for a Free Iran Preamble The story of the Iranian people is the story of one of the greatest struggles for freedom the world has ever known. The story of the Islamic Republic is the story of one of the greatest evils in the history of mankind. I thought the world had learned its lesson from the Holocaust. I thought we would never see such evil again. I thought the world would never look away while thousands of innocent people were slaughtered. I was wrong. Not only did much of the world look away and do nothing it was far worse than that. Many nations actively helped enable the Islamic Republic to carry out its reign of terror for 47 years. Even the United Nations itself played a role in that failure. It is shameful that America and Israel have been among the only nations willing to take meaningful action to help free the people of Iran from the conditions they have endured for nearly five decades. Trump's goal is not genuine regime change, and real r...

There is public outrage that Cordell Goosby will be sent to a psychiatric hospital instead of prison. Before addressing that, two things need to be said. Some of that outrage is racially motivated. The instinct to send a Black man to prison rather than seek treatment. Had the perpetrator been white, many of those same voices would not react so strongly. That applies to some people, not all. Now let's turn to those whose outrage is genuine and not rooted in racial bias. To those people, I say your outrage is misplaced. It should not be focused on where Cordell Goosby is sent. It should be focused on the fact that the deaths of Eina Kwon and her unborn baby could have been prevented. I believe those deaths could have been prevented and that is where our energy must go. "God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference." We cannot change what happened after th...

A System Built on Control The Iranian government enforces mandatory hijab laws through intimidation, surveillance, arrests, fines, and imprisonment. New legislation has intensified these penalties, with women facing severe punishment simply for refusing to comply with state-imposed dress codes.

As the race for Washington’s 1st Congressional District heats up, I want to share where things stand and why I believe our campaign represents the best path forward for Democrats who value balance, integrity, and common sense. As of today, this is shaping up to be a crowded top two primary  the two candidates who receive the most votes advance to the general election, regardless of party preference, and candidates must also clear the 1% threshold.  We expect at least five candidates on the ballot. Myself, Kincaid , challenging incumbent Representative Suzan DelBene , along with Hunter Gordon (a self-described socialist), James Etzkorn (running as an independent), and one or more Republican candidates. The reality of the field Representative DelBene will almost certainly raise the most money and lead the field in resources. She has major incumbent advantages, and the public FEC candidate profile shows the scale of her fundraising operation. ( FEC candidate profil...

Apps like Citizen and many others highlight something too many families don't realize. A significant number of registered sex offenders live throughout our communities many near schools. Parents deserve straightforward access to accurate information and public safety policies that genuinely reduce risk. Many states restrict high risk offenders from residing near schools, parks, and child focused facilities. Washington, however, largely lacks such statewide residency limits.

The  problem may not be as severe as in parts of Seattle, but the concern is very real. Even a few high risk offenders near schools is too many. This is primarily a state policy issue, but if elected to Congress, I will bring national attention to Washington's approach, promote evidence based best practices...
