Latasha understands the frustration of navigating broken systems and feeling powerless in the face of loved ones’ struggles—she’s been there herself.

When Latasha’s children lost their father to mental illness, it was more than a personal tragedy. It exposed how systems fail people like him—people of color, children of immigrants, and veterans neglected by institutions that should support them. Now the current Administration is attempting to dismantle these already fragile institutions, and Congress is doing nothing to stop them. The well-being of Tacoma residents depends on bold local and state leaders.

Latasha is a stability and security advocate who is primed and ready for this challenge. She has long been dedicated to promoting a Tacoma where economic security, personal safety, housing stability, and climate resilience aren’t privileges awarded to the few, but guarantees we all create for ourselves.

That’s why Latasha is running for Tacoma City Council: because real security means empowered communities shaping their futures through-

Reclaiming Housing for All

Tacoma’s housing crisis is real. Families are struggling, and homelessness is rising. But affordable housing shouldn’t just be a temporary fix—it has to be permanent. We need real solutions that keep money in our community, like working with local organizations to build community-owned housing that lasts.

Restoring Block Power

Tacoma needs a government and policing system that listens and serves its people. We need neighborhood block hubs that empower voices, foster safety through connection and trust, and create collaboration that ensures our resources are abundant and our basic needs met. Latasha fought for policing accountability and stronger neighborhood councils, and will keep fighting to ensure your voice is heard at City Hall.

Jobs that Protect People and the Planet

We’re done putting profit before people. Tacoma deserves a just transition to green jobs that protect our planet and lift up our communities. Let’s bring in industries that respect our workers and our environment, and make sure every person has a chance to be healthy and happy.

Not a career politician, Latasha is a mother, organizer, and working-class woman who knows how to fight for a better future. Her decisions, from running a small business to advocating for community voices on Tacoma’s Charter Review committee, have all been made to prepare her to lead this fight.

As a lifelong resident of Tacoma who loves her city, Latasha believes Tacoma can be a city where every resident feels secure—in their homes, opportunities, communities, and government. She believes in security through empowered communities.

But Latasha can’t do this alone. She needs your support—for this campaign and the movement for community empowerment. Real change starts with all of us.

Let’s reclaim our voice and power to make Tacoma the city we deserve!
