Energy You Can Count On
Our energy infrastructure is more fragile than it should be.
Fellow Washingtonians,
Demand for power is rising — homes, hospitals, and data centers — while reliable plants retire and costly mandates push bills up without making the grid firmer. That is fragility, not progress.
Energy is the lifeblood of our economy. Seattle’s tech boom, our hospitals, and working families all need power that stays on in a cold snap and costs they can afford. Hydro is a real advantage. Mandates that tax carbon while the grid stays brittle are not.
The Climate Commitment Act is a cost and fragility problem. It raises gas and home energy bills for working people with almost no global effect — Washington is about 0.2% of world emissions — and it does not harden the wires or add firm capacity.
My Plan for Energy You Can Count On
Energy Abundance — Build New Nuclear
Support Small Modular Reactors, including Amazon and Energy Northwest projects, for clean, reliable 24/7 power that scales with demand.
Protect Hydroelectric Power
Keep and modernize the dams that already deliver clean, firm power — Washington’s greatest energy asset.
Natural Gas as Bridge Fuel
Use natural gas to keep costs down and cover peaks while nuclear comes online — flexible capacity when wind, solar, or hydro fall short.
Reliable and Affordable — Reform the CCA
End wasteful fund diversions. Reform or repeal costly carbon-tax experiments that raise bills without hardening the grid.
November 3 is a choice about power you can count on.
Abundance over scarcity. Firm capacity over fragile mandates. Bills working families can pay.
