She wants to abolish the police.
She wrote it down.
This is not a paraphrase, and it is not an opponent’s characterization. It is Chelsea Dimas, posting publicly under her own name.
“I know WE (BLACK + BROWN PEOPLE) will never be safe until we abolish white supremacy, the police, and ALL contributing systems.”
In the same post she pledged to “work to abolish the systems” and urged readers to demand a police unit be disbanded. Her own campaign biography describes her work as “dismantling white supremacy.”
Why it matters in the 14th
The Yakima Valley needs more deputies on the road, not fewer. A legislator who has committed in writing to abolishing the police is not going to fight for the officers who keep these towns safe.
Exhibit A — her post, excerpt
Four strikes.
Two of them right now.
The Washington Public Disclosure Commission has cited Chelsea Dimas four separate times for breaking campaign finance law. She has been assessed $1,150 in penalties, and once let a state fine sit unpaid for over three years.
