Executive Director: American Indian Health Commission

"As a Public Hospital Commissioner and parent, I am thrilled to support Bevin McLeod for State Senate. We need champions in the legislature. We need advocates for universal healthcare who understand that healthcare is about more than access to a doctor. Bevin will fight for housing, food security, education, racial justice and more. This is her track record and this is why we need her to be in the State Senate."

I have personally witnessed her 'Watch me' attitude when folks have told her that it can’t be done or it’s impossible. Then watched this dynamic leader make the 'impossible' possible.  Bevin is that leader and we need people like her to fight and advocate for our values in the Senate."

"Bevin is THE woman to lead! From the moment I met her four years ago, when I heard her speak and challenge traditional candidates and thinking, I asked 'Who is THIS woman?' This woman is someone who has sacrificed, sweated and suffered. The recipe for success. With every fiber in my body, I wholeheartedly endorse Bevin! Go get 'em!"

I am grateful that she thinks about whole health - not just healthcare - and strives to improve access to food, housing, nature, employment, and more."

For my patients to have the security, that they can receive life changing and life saving care without financial devastation. That all can have the right to healthcare. I've followed Bevin's hard work with the WA Universal Healthcare Commission. I know she'll continue to strive for Washington residents to have the most affordable and best healthcare available. Washington will be the forefront in universal healthcare."
