Dr. Elizabeth Kreiselmaier values faith, family, freedom, and a strong economy where the safety and security of our citizens comes first.
Like many Americans, she believes the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives has veered way off course. So in addition to bringing her rich professional background and her wide array of skills to the job, she is also a mom who cares very deeply and is concerned about the future of our country, because so much is at stake in 2020's elections.
Elizabeth is a "Mom on a Mission to Clean Up The House"---the House of Representatives that has been rife with dirty tricks and foul play these past few years. She will bring to Congress something sorely lacking now: common sense leadership with a moral compass.
With a Ph.D. summa cum laude (top2%) from the University of Oregon, a successful 20-year career in program evaluation and research, 10 years of experience as a small business owner, and extensive service to her community while raising their son, Elizabeth has a proven gift for sizing up problems, communicating effectively, and engaging productively to get things done right, and get the right things done.
Elizabeth will be a voice of results-driven common sense in Congress--one who will promote Strong Families, Strong Communities, and a Strong Country. She'll be a bold force who will push back on the big-government, Socialist agenda, and stand up for the best interests of the people of Washington's 6th District.
- America's at a critical crossroads and a LOT is at stake in 2020's elections. This year, especially, is about the fight for what's right, for what we all love: Strong Families, Strong Communities, and a Strong Country.
- House leadership has gotten way off course, pushing a radical, big-government agenda. My opponent, despite sounding "nice" and "moderate" while he's in THIS Washington (State), votes radically, in lockstep with the worst House members, when he's in THAT Washington (D.C.).
- Unlike my opponent, I am not a career politician. I am a Mom on a Mission to Clean Up the House--one who's been commended by all six County parties, current and former legislators, and community leaders.
STRONG FAMILIES:
- Bringing back Good Jobs and Recovering our pre-COVID, Growing Economy
- Health Care Quality, Access & Choice of Providers and Plans
- Education NOT Indoctrination
STRONG COMMUNITIES:
- Support for Military & Law Enforcement
- Protecting ALL of our Constitutional rights, especially 1st and 2nd Amendment rights
- Tackling the Root Causes of Homelessness
STRONG COUNTRY:
- Border Security: Build the Wall
- Pharmaceutical independence from China
- Proof of Citizenship, not just Residency, to Vote

Campaign website
Kreiselmaier’s campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
Strong families are the cornerstone of a strong society, and issues that affect families directly are the “bread and butter” issues we all talk about around the kitchen table:
Families are stronger when people have good jobs, and get to keep more of what they earn. I will focus especially on maintaining tax cuts and on expanding jobs, particularly in those counties with rural economies built on the timber and fishing industries, where economic recovery has lagged behind the rest of the state and nation. I will emphasize free markets, lower taxes, and deregulation while still achieving proper stewardship of our natural resources.
Strong families are healthy families, but even healthy families get sick. And when they do, they need access to high quality health care and prescription drugs that are made affordable NOT through socialistic government programs, but through competition and transparency of costs and outcomes to the consumers. I will fight to reclaim and maintain choice of health care providers and insurance plans.
Strong families are those whose kids get a solid education that prepares them for life as responsible, self-sufficient adults. Families are strengthened when they have choices about where and how their kids are educated. Parents are the real experts and authority in their kids’ lives, and government needs to respect and reflect that. Schools are for education, not indoctrination, and competitive options are key to success. I will push public schools to return to the “basics” where they have failed or gotten derailed, while also championing homeschooling and vouchers as viable choices to be upheld.
Protecting our national security and the safety of our citizens is government’s primary job. Safeguards to achieve this protection are: UNWAVERING SUPPORT FOR OUR MILITARY, VETERANS, & LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS These are the people who put themselves at risk, today and in the past, to keep the rest of us safe and secure against all threats foreign and domestic. They have always had our backs, and we need to have theirs. We owe them actual and sustained support, not just lip service. Law and order must be maintained for people to survive and to thrive. PRESERVING SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS An individual’s right to keep and bear arms is enshrined in our Constitution. Guns in the hands of law-abiding citizens often save lives by levelling the playing field between innocent victims and their would-be violent intruders or attackers. CURTAILING HOMELESSNESS The alarming, tragic trend of spreading homeless encampments poses a danger to individuals and neighborhoods everywhere. It must be addressed from the standpoint of alleviating human suffering while protecting the health and safety of local communities. Recent lawsuits have hijacked the policy debate, and hamstrung municipalities’ ability to effectively cope. I will work to untangle the complex web of social and legal issues to best allow communities to take self-protective action as they work to implement compassionate solutions.
America is an exceptional country because of its brilliant Constitution aimed at preserving life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The “American Dream” of freedom and prosperity is unique in its appeal the world over, and understandably so. Yet for that dream to endure, we must uphold our sovereignty through: BORDER SECURITY A country without borders is no country at all. Building the wall and securing other ports of entry by land and sea are all essential in the fight to stop the flow of illegal aliens who subvert the process of legally immigrating to this country. Cutting off illegal immigration is key to curtailing the drug and sex trafficking industries, as well as the infiltration of criminal gang members – all of which pose serious threats to America that we can’t afford to ignore.
We, as a sovereign nation, get to decide who we want coming to live and remain here. Immigration is a privilege, not a right. It carries with it responsibilities, and must occur according to our country’s laws and rules. Criminal behavior of any kind on the part of illegal immigrants, and especially violent criminal offenses, must not be tolerated and should be grounds for immediate deportation. Police must be encouraged to cooperate with ICE in honoring detention requests and removing criminal aliens from our streets and from our country.
Free and fair elections are essential to the survival of our Constitutional Republic. Only U.S. Citizens should be allowed to vote in U.S. elections, but sadly, that is increasingly not the case now. Voter registration fraud is a growing problem, made worse by recent changes in election law that provide for same-day voter registration. We need a more robust system for requiring proof of U.S. citizenship (not merely residency) in order to vote in our country.[2] |
