2024 WA Governor's race: on Social Security


Mark Mullet: Long-term care payroll tax is unnecessary tax increase

I am laser focused on making our state more affordable. My wife Kelley and I want our own six children to be able to afford to live in Washington after they finish school.
  1. We can fight climate change without having the highest gas prices in America.
  2. I have a proven track record of voting against unnecessary tax increases, like the long-term care payroll tax (I'm supporting the initiative to make this tax optional).
  3. As the chair of our state construction budget, I know from firsthand experience that there is too much red tape in our building permit process, which is driving up costs and making out state unaffordable. I promise to build more housing, which will be the key to making our state affordable again.

Hilary Franz: Supports providing benefits for people caring for elderly

Franz: My father was diagnosed with dementia at 65. I cared for him for a decade with three boys below my hip. I had to literally experience not only finding childcare but also finding elder care. And we were able to bring caregiving in, but it was expensive, and it was hard to find. I support right up front the Long Term Care Workforce Support Act. I also support the Security Caregiver Credit Act to provide Social Security benefits to the people who are serving and caring for our elderly.
