Repeal the New State Income Tax
They promised it would only hit millionaires. That promise never lasts.
Fellow Washingtonians,
Governor Ferguson and the Democratic majorities in Olympia sold the new 9.9% income tax with a familiar line: it will only apply to “millionaires and billionaires.”
That is the same sales pitch used every time a state creates an income tax. The threshold always moves. What starts as a tax on the wealthy becomes a tax on the middle class, then on everyone who still works and still owns something.
My opponent sponsored this tax. She helped crack the door open. Once that door is open, history shows it never stays limited. Washington already has one of the highest sales taxes and a cascading B&O tax that hits small businesses hard. Instead of fixing those real problems, they chose to create a new income tax and pretend it would never grow.
Repealing this tax is my top priority. We stop the precedent now, before it spreads.
My Plan to Kill the Income Tax
Repeal the “Millionaires Tax” Immediately
Strike this dangerous precedent from the books before the threshold is lowered and working families are next.
Reform the Real Regressive Taxes
Fix the high sales tax and the cascading B&O tax that already punish families and small businesses — instead of layering on new income taxes.
Lock the Door Against Tax Creep
Require broad voter approval and hard limits before any future income tax can be imposed. No more quiet expansions.
Cut Waste Instead of Raising Taxes
Force government to live within its means. Stop punishing success to paper over spending failures.
They lied about who would pay. We should not pretend otherwise.
Self-reliance beats dependence. Innovation beats ideology.
Together, we can make Washington golden.
