The voters of West Seattle, Vashon Island, White Center, and Burien have the chance to send a young, inspired, and passionate senator to Olympia this year. Joe Nguyen grew up the son of an immigrant single mother in Burien and went on to become a senior manager at Microsoft. He has worked as a community organizer and activist on police reform issues and representation for the South King County Vietnamese community. He’s so fucking passionate about advancing progressive causes that he says “fuck” a lot, and we don’t think he was pandering to the fuck-happy SECB.
The fucks Nguyen gives are genuine. In his declaration of support for a capital gains tax, Nguyen told the SECB: “People are fucking dying right now in the streets. Capital gains touches rich people, and a very small percentage of them in the first place.” Hell yeah!
