[email protected] In 2016, I ran on my plan called Real Deal, We were facing so many problems it would make a nun steal. Since
that time, Congress has stabbed us in our backs, Making a bonanza for dirty lawyers and their political hacks.
Politicians put on puppet shows to justify their existence, While the hateful media covers up their malfeasance.
Of all we suspected before we know now to be true. If you ain’t got no money, America don’t care about you.
The rich use racism, keeping the working poor in check, With hateful media, low wages and never ending
debt. They manipulate you by pictures, songs and false words, But when the election is over, your voice is not
heard.
Thanks to this virus, you got poorer while the rich took it all. They live in splendor, your back’s against the wall.
They make you wear masks and stay penned like hogs, While they sit in their mansions doing interviews with
dogs. These politicians, they love to talk about their money. They show you their ice cream and they think that’s
funny.
Well, I’m Matthew Heines and I’m running for Congress. As a teacher, all of my life, I had to make do with less.

Anton brings years of leadership experience in the private sector where he has spent his career solving
problems. Anton understands the important issues facing Washingtonians, but are ignored by the out of
touch political establishment. Anton is not a career politician, will not play politics and will not be bought. His
businesslike approach offers real solutions to the soaring issues we face.
Anton’s vision for Washington to be a state that is efficiently and effectively serving its people. He sees what
is broken and will enact real solutions. He will respect the will of voters, cut taxes, reduce bureaucracy, and
uphold the Constitution and Individual Rights. He will drain the Olympia swamp and end the drug fueled and
government enabled homelessness by holding agencies accountable to their budgets and outcomes. He will
end government interference in our lives, the extreme liberal agendas pushed on our children and attacks
on personal freedom. He envisions a Washington that is friendly to businesses and individual liberty – a
Washington where Constitutional rights are protected, businesses thrive, and individual success is not punished
by uncontrolled taxation through the death tax, estate recovery tax and real estate taxes.
Under Anton’s leadership, the state will reduce regulations, attract new businesses, allow existing businesses to
thrive and reopen closed industries.
As a refugee from the Soviet Union, he has seen the damage caused by too much government, too much
regulation, and the importance of a balance of powers in maintaining a free and prosperous life.
The Governor of Washington State should not be a career politician but instead a leader and executive manager
who is working for the people. As a proud American citizen whose family escaped communism, Anton has

Governor (continued)
The measure of our leaders is how they respond to unexpected crises. When Washington became ground zero
in the country for COVID-19, Governor Jay Inslee met this health and economic crisis head-on, with bold action
based on science and guided by public health experts.
The Ellensburg Daily Record praised Governor Inslee, writing, “In the moment when he has been tested the
hardest, Inslee has stepped up, making the tough calls and providing the leadership needed to get this state
through the COVID-19 crisis.” The Chair of the University of Washington’s Department of Global Health praised
Inslee’s leadership for “having saved countless lives.”
Under Inslee’s leadership, Washington recovered from the last great recession to become the country’s #1 rated
economy, and our state is poised to rebound more quickly thanks to the Governor’s progressive policies. Our
state has the nation’s best Paid Family and Medical Leave, we have expanded health care coverage to 800,000
Washingtonians and created a long-term care benefit for seniors that puts us in a better position to address
public health dangers and immediate economic hardship.
Inslee’s Career Connect program provides on-site training and apprenticeships for thousands of students who
have plans other than four-year college and his investments in forward-thinking renewable energy industries
have prepared us to endure and recover from the economic pain so many are now living through.
Governor Inslee’s steady leadership and pioneering vision make him exactly the governor we need now to
guide us to a better, stronger and more just future for Washington.

Under this administration unemployment has skyrocketed, homelessness, crime and drug abuse have exploded
and public health bureaucrats spent time pushing for heroin injection sites instead of preparing for a pandemic.
We need a Governor who will listen to everyone, not just the powerful and well connected. Olympia is working
for political insiders who don’t need the help while ignoring those devastated by a health crisis and economic
collapse. Our state’s only mental health hospital was so poorly mismanaged it was decertified by the federal
government leaving the mentally ill to wander the streets.
As I’ve travelled to all 39 counties, the message is consistently clear: we need a Governor to bring Washington
together, not divide us into camps of “essential” versus “non-essential”. I will lead Washington’s economic
recovery. I have a lifelong record of community service here and around the world. I will not take a salary as
Governor and will instead donate it to local nonprofits helping the mentally ill and homeless. I have a track
record of bringing people together as a successful businessman and bipartisan leader who has cut taxes while
protecting the most vulnerable. I will veto any attempt at a state income tax. I will never use my office to take

want our kids and grandkids to have. It is about restoring trust, correcting wrongs, and doing things in a
new, innovative, and collaborative way. It includes a future that provides for safer, cleaner and more vibrant

every child gets his or her best opportunity to succeed is by having multiple educational pathways to choose

I have had the honor of serving as the elected Washington State Auditor for the past four years. I am proud
of being the first woman to hold this position. Prior to State Auditor, I served as Pierce County Executive and
Pierce County Auditor. I have a proven and tested public record of leadership.
As State Auditor, it is a privilege to lead over 400 employees working across the state to provide fiscal and
accountability audits of all local and state governments. We have increased the number of cybersecurity and
performance audits, while conducting numerous investigations including uncovering the largest fraud on record.
My vision to “increase trust in government” means greater transparency and accountability of public money.
To accomplish this goal, I have created a user-friendly, interactive website that gives you important information
about each government that serves you. Having an independent, objective review of public dollars is the
hallmark of my work at the State Auditor’s Office.
