Candidate statement
Hallock provided the following candidate statement for the Washington state voter guide:
| “ |
The world is in disarray. I will work every day to make Americans safer at home and abroad. America’s role as a global leader has been diminished by autocrats in China, Russia, Iran, and at home. Failed neoliberal policies and corporate greed have created massive income inequality, addiction, and despair. Our politicians are more interested in partisan showmanship than in the economic well-being and safety of Americans. American security in today’s multi-polar world requires strong leadership and a commitment to our values and allies. We need to rebuild our industrial base, become the world leader in the new green economy, secure our supply chains, and yes, secure our borders. We need to invest in our own people and give them an economic future, dignity, and a country of which they can be proud. I have dedicated my life to the law and human rights. I am pro-humanity and pro-peace. As a child, my church sponsored Ukrainian refugees. As a young woman, I travelled to a kibbutz in Israel and spent weekends with Israeli and Palestinian friends. I travelled to Taiwan. I believe Taiwan, Israel, and Ukraine have a right to exist, full stop. And as a U.S. Congressperson, I would never make statements that normalize violence or defend and excuse the actions of terrorists or dictators. Our service men and women put their lives at risk every day. They rely on our elected officials to ensure our enemies are deterred by our words and actions, not encouraged by them. Peace in Europe, the Middle East, and the South China Sea is possible, but only if America is willing to follow through on our commitments to our allies and partners abroad, as well as act as an exemplar of democracy at home. I would be honored to receive your vote. [3] |

Ballotpedia survey responses

Liz Hallock completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Hallock's responses.
What would be your top three priorities, if elected?
1. Ensuring our most vulnerable have adequate healthcare coverage in the face of Medicare tax cuts. 2. Reforming zoning, building, property tax penalties, and condo codes to ensure more affordable housing. 3. Preserving and protecting the environment, especially where it affects our indigenous community.
What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?
1. I am passionate about access to justice as an attorney who has served an under-served community for many years. 2. I am passionate about criminal justice reform as an attorney and marijuana store owner. Violence and drug addiction should be treated as health crises. 3. I am passionate about the environment and science as a Mom, rock climber, and human being.
Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?
I look up to my grandfathers, both WWII veterans; Eleanor Roosevelt, who believed that everyone can make a small difference in people's lives; and Frank Zappa, musician and activist who believed we need to educate our children and ensure they under stand their rights, so that they can fight for those rights.
Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy?
I like to apply science to political decision-making, and look at the structural issues behind the scenes. A few of my favorite books and documentaries: Liar's Poker and The Big Short or anything by Michael Lewis; Fast Food Nation, any Michael Pollan book; The Post; Practical Ethics, Peter Singer (one of my favorite professors -- we don't agree on everything); and of course, my all-time favorite to have my basketball teams read, A Sense of Where You Are, Bill Bradley.
What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?
Accountability and courage to take on the tough issues. Willingness to learn.
What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?
I have fought for open government for years. I have seen how administrative agencies treat people, with little accountability, and how our representatives do not navigate their constituents through the system. People are tired of corporate control of our democracy and only those in the know getting assistance. People want someone who truly represents the people and someone who not only recognizes the oppressive income inequality of our district, but who is going to tackle those issues.
What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?
Accountability to constituents. Ensuring economic prosperity by improving quality of life and addressing uneven application of the law. Ensuring protection of civil liberties in the face of an ever encroaching and increasingly totalitarian federal government. Protecting and promoting states' rights, like our marijuana industry, women's rights to healthcare, and privacy rights. Addressing our incredibly regressive state tax code, ranked the most unfair in the nation, and seriously accounting for and addressing the over 700 corporate tax loopholes to big political donors.
What legacy would you like to leave?
I would like my daughters to remember me as the one who stood up for the planet and for their future health, and their children's health, when no one else acted. I would like to be remember as the person who stood up for the people over corporations and corporate donors. (I take zero special interest money or corporate donations.) I would like to introduce term limits to stop career politicians from destroying our democracy. I would like to limit the revolving door between administrative agencies in WA and political lobbying groups.
What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?
Challenger explosion. 4 years old.
What was your very first job? How long did you have it?
Working for my mother's deli at 14. Less than a year, then I started playing sports.
What is your favorite holiday? Why?
Indigenous People's Day. (Formerly Columbus Day.)
What is your favorite book? Why?
Too many books are my favorite to mention, but books that are stark reminders of how easily a culture can slip into totalitarian darkness: Gulag Archipelago, Solzhenitzyn- I studied some Russian, visited Russia, and my professor at Princeton had narrowly escaped the Soviets. Hitler's Willing Executioner's, Dan Goldhagen, about ordinary Germans who stood by during the Holocaust
What is something that has been a struggle in your life?
Cancer. I made it through for my future kids.
What do you perceive to be your state’s greatest challenges over the next decade?
Our greatest challenge will be fixing our regressive tax system that penalizes middle-class families (just named the most unfair in the nation), but rewards corporate political donors with over 700 tax loopholes, while addressing funding challenges for basic human services in the face of so many federal cuts for education, public safety, and healthcare. Climate change, forest mismanagement, and a decline in salmon population will wreak more environmental havoc that should be addressed immediately.
What process do you favor for redistricting?
City of Yakima and Yakima School District should be retained within one legislative district in order to give a voice to that school district in regards to its state funding needs.
If you are not a current legislator, are there certain committees that you would want to be a part of?
Early Learning and Human Services - I am committed to leveling the playing field through public education, as that is what opened so many doors to me, from the Ivy League to law school. Finance Environment Rules
If you are not currently a member of your party’s leadership in the legislature, would you be interested in joining the leadership? If so, in what role?
I am endorsed by the Democratic Environment and Climate Caucus and would love to ensure that Central Washington's air, water, rivers, salmon population, and forests are properly maintained and protected. I am a staunch advocate of science and would like to leave my door open to scientists trying out new technologies to mitigate climate change. Washington is a climate leader and I believe we can innovate the solutions to this global crisis here in our home state.
Is there a particular legislator, past or present, whom you want to model yourself after?
Senator Bill Bradley
Both sitting legislators and candidates for office hear many personal stories from the residents of their district. Is there a story that you’ve heard that you found particularly touching, memorable, or impactful?
I called a constituent before the primary to see if he and his wife had voted. She had just died and not had a chance to vote, but had said it was so important to her. They were an elderly black couple. The right to vote has not been given to us. We should not take it for granted.
