US House of Representatives:

 Congressional District 1:

Our take: Vince is a career civil servant who has dedicated his life to the service. He has served in the military, as a sheriff deputy, city councilman and has the talent and wherewithal to take on the establishment cronies in Washington. He has our support and just as important, our vote.

 

Vince Cavelari

“As civil liberties wane in many American communities, we have quite literally come to a crossroads regarding America’s path into the future.  There are those who believe freedom and liberty are antiquated notions; and more government is the answer, however I am not one of them.  I will stand with you to defend our freedoms, as I have for over 30 years of dedicated public service. 

Please join me on my quest to give the First Congressional District of Washington back to the people.”

- From Vincent’s speech announcing his candidacy

Vincent was honorably discharged from the United States Army Reserve in 1989 after serving 6 years, and subsequently moved to Washington. He is currently a deputy with the Snohomish County Sheriff’s office; and has been for over 21 years. Vincent won elections in 2015 and 2019 and is currently serving his second full City Council term in Mill Creek. In his council capacity he sits on numerous boards and committees such as SNO911 and the fire board. He is passionate about keeping his community safe. Mill Creek boasts some of the best response times in the state.

Vincent and his wife Lilian have been married for over 32 years and they have two wonderful adult children. They welcomed their first grandchild in 2021.

 Congressional District 2:

Leif had a very humble upbringing in a small town in Wisconsin, sometimes without even running water or electricity. He and his brothers were thrilled to be given day old bread and hand me down clothes. This type of upbringing taught him to work hard and always appreciate what he has. As a young man he worked in the tool and die trades and worked his way through school to get his Bachelors in industrial technology. He’s worked for companies both large and small but eventually became a designer, creating his own inventions.

He and his wife brought their family to washington about 10 years ago. He runs his own machine shop as well as teaches the trades at local colleges including the Everett Community College.

  • Many of our public school curriculums are teaching our children Marxist values, gender confusion and critical race theory. Our public education has no business influencing our children in these matters. Parents need to have full agency to teach their own values and religious practices to their children. We need education that focuses on developing competitive skills, providing our kids with viable futures.

    I will work to eliminate Marxist curriculums in our public education systems. I will push for a voucher system, that includes charter schools, to give parents more freedom in their child's education.

  • America First does not mean we will not help others anymore. It simply means we take care of our people before taking on the world’s problems. We don’t need to be the world’s police or fund the worlds needs while we still have homeless in the streets, veterans neglected, hungry children and poor education standards. We simply need to take care of American’s first and when America is strong and safe, we can extend our arms to those in need elsewhere.

    In the guise of the need to change our energy dependencies, this current administration has been shutting down oil production and processing in our country. The actual impact of these orders has already resulted in job and industry losses as well as a massive fuel cost increase.

    In addition to causing undo suffering upon Americans, this radical policy change is creating a deepening dependency on our resource needs from hostile nations. This leaves us vulnerable to involvement in foreign wars.

    Until we have developed and produced alternatives to meet the needs of the American people, we must wisely continue to access our own oil supplies. I will always support American dependency upon her own resources!In the guise of the need to change our energy dependencies, this current administration has been shutting down oil production and processing in our country.

  • Our government causes a lack of financial freedom, resulting in us relying on their programs because they take more money than necessary from our hardworking citizens. This increases government spending. We also outsource an excessive amount of our labor and industry. Countless well-managed companies end up moving away due to the heavy tax burdens currently placed on businesses. This costs us our jobs, industries and resource independence. In turn, we suffer from a lack of skilled workers from high labor costs.

    Instead of bailing out large corporations who make poor management decisions, I favor lowering federal taxes for small companies and creating more funding for business development incentives that keep our industries here. I also support reducing tax burdens on our citizens while using tariffs to help fund what is needed to run our governmental agencies, services and programs. Tariffs will assist us in creating industry and jobs in America as we rely more on our own resources and production. I will create incentives for states to develop their own competitive regionally valid trades programs in our High Schools and Post-Secondary settings.

  • Our country was founded on the Judeo-Christian understanding that we were all created with the inherent freedom to be able to serve and worship our God in a way that is defined by our individual cultures. The role of the family is to replicate value systems that define and support morality and therefore support moral behavior in a society as a whole.

    The Marxist agenda is being used to undermine the credibility of the family establishment by introducing establishments that deviate from the core values of all cultures. These alternate value systems turn children's hearts from the ways of their parents. Once the family’s moral system is broken down, it creates room for a new religious order that is established by the “state”.

    I will support policies that allow families the freedom to practice their own value systems, and defund programs that undermine individual family values.

  • In this past decade, we have had an explosive increase in citizens not being able to acquire appropriate housing. Government agencies have tried to step in with affordable housing projects, needle programs or encampments. None of these projects have proven successful so far.

    On the other hand, Faith based drug and alcohol counseling, mental health programs, skills development, and affordable housing efforts have shown to have high success rates for helping individuals overcome what stands in the way of them and a viable livelihood.

    In addition to incentives for reducing property taxes in Washington State and holding some medical professionals accountable for their opioid trade, I will support programs that are run by local faith-based communities who have proven to be better equipped plus more successful in assisting individual needs.

  • Many policy makers in DC want to take or limit our right to bear arms. The Second Amendment was put in place to assure that our government upholds our constitutional freedoms. If we are unarmed we cannot defend our families against foreign or domestic terrorists. I will support responsible firearm handling training programs for citizens and vote NO to any infringements on American access to firearms, firearm components and ammunition.

  • We have too many career politicians who use their positions in order to serve their own interests. Instead of casting their votes in favor of the American people, they are lining their pockets with lobbyist dollars while pushing their own agendas. We need “every day citizens” to represent us - those who know what it is like to live in our country and are in office for a short time only as a civil service.

    In order to avoid the self-serving law maker, I will work to establish TERM LIMITS in our House and Senate!

    I, along with other America First candidates, have signed a pledge to commit to 3 terms in Congress and 2 terms in the Senate. Once in office, we can push this initiative forward and pass term limits into law!

 Congressional District 8:

Matt Larkin

I am running for Congress because as a lifelong Washingtonian, and father of four small children, I believe my family and yours deserve a better and safer Washington. For too long, Washington has been heading in the wrong direction. Crime continues to rise. Drug abuse is out of control. And the homeless situation in our state has hit a breaking point. Yet, no one is doing anything about it. Our state is in desperate need of a leader to step-up to the plate and take these issues head on. We need commonsense solutions, not more job-killing tax hikes and reckless spending. I am ready to fight back against those who have turned a blind eye to the issues plaguing our state, the issues that no one ever seems to deal with. I love Washington. I was born and raised here and want my children to have the same opportunities I had growing up. I am running for Congress to fight for you and to fight for our future, because Washington is worth fighting for.

Scott Stephenson

Scott was raised in Wisconsin with strong Midwestern values that instilled in him a love of family, an intrinsic sense of what is right, good manners, personal responsibility, and a strong work ethic. Trimming tree plantations with a hand saw, working landscaping in the heat of summer, and flipping burgers at McDonalds taught him the value of money and hard work. Family time revolved around the out-of-doors, skiing, hunting, fishing, canoeing, and exploring the wilds of Wisconsin and Minnesota.

An inherent drive to set and achieve aggressive goals propelled Scott to the top of his class at University of Michigan, where he graduated summa cum laude in Aerospace Engineering. Awarded a full grant from the US Office of Naval Research and a prestigious Draper Fellowship, Scott earned his Master’s in Aerospace Engineering from MIT, specializing in flight control systems. During his thesis research, Scott had the honor to work with NASA Space Shuttle astronauts investigating the effects of space flight on the human body. After graduation, Scott joined the Aerospace Corporation in Los Angeles, where he wrote complex computer simulations of USAF launch vehicles and satellites.

  • No Children – No Future

    Contrary to what the radical Left may believe, our children belong to us, not to the “State.”

    Our kids are constantly bombarded with racist, anti-family, anti-American ideologies, including CRT, and the radical trans agenda — something my family has experienced personally in the public schools.

    Across the country, parents are standing up against the institutionalized grooming, sexualization, and indoctrination of our children. I proudly stands with moms, dads, and families who are fighting back to protect our children.

  • No Border – No Country

    We are experiencing an unprecedented invasion of our Southern border. Since Joe Biden took office, more people crossed our Southern border illegally than live in King County, Washington (2.4M). If this continues, the entire social fabric of our country will be forever altered.

    The economic cost of the Left’s open-borders policies is unacceptable, but the human cost of their radical open-border agenda is unforgivable.

    We must take immediate action to ensure that NOT ONE MORE woman or child is smuggled into the United States and sold by traffickers, NOT ONE MORE family has to bury a loved one from an overdose of Chinese Fentanyl carried across the border, and NOT ONE MORE American is the victim of a crime committed by an unvetted immigrant in our county.

  • No Secure Elections – No Republic

    Let’s be very clear — the 2020 election was stolen.

    Dead people voted. States changed laws unconstitutionally. Ballots were illegally harvested and trafficked. Big Tech, mainstream media, and others colluded to interfere, including by actively suppressing the Hunter Biden laptop story.

  • American families are being crushed by the policies of this administration and the weaponization of the New Green Deal agenda. Historic inflation is driving up the cost of everything driven by sky-rocketing energy and fertilizer costs and unnecessary regulations that are devastating American farmers, truckers, and businesses.

  • The weaponization of the administrative state and censorship of Conservative ideas online are a huge threat.

    I have >30 years working in tech, specifically on the internet, and when elected, I will be the most technical person ever to serve in Congress. I will use that experience to bring Free Speech back to the internet and hold Big Tech accountable.

  • We are constantly lied to and no one is held accountable for ANYTHING. It’s time to return honestly and integrity by refusing to “move on” from corruption and illegal activity.
