Exploring an Independent Run for U.S. House in Southwest Washington’s 3rd District
I’ve begun an exploratory process toward a possible independent run for U.S. House in Washington’s 3rd Congressional District.
Right now, I’m in a listening phase; hearing from residents across Clark, Cowlitz, Wahkiakum, Pacific, Skamania, Lewis, and Thurston counties to understand everyday challenges and whether there’s meaningful community support for an independent, voice in Congress.
This is an exploratory effort. JD has not formally declared his candidacy.
If you’d like to share your perspective or invite me to a community gathering, please reach out.
I’m hearing from community members about cost-of-living pressures, healthcare access, housing, public safety, rural economic stability, and constitutional accountability.
I agree with the calls for abolishing ICE and replacing it with an immigration system rooted in due process, transparency, and humanitarian standards. My exploratory process is focused on hearing diverse perspectives to advance meaningful policy and understanding whether there’s community support for an independent, people-first voice in Congress.
My goal is to understand what people want their representation to look like before deciding whether to move forward.
I’m exploring this path because too many decisions in Washington, D.C. are being made without accountability to everyday people. Recent congressional votes related to DHS funding and federal enforcement practices have raised serious civil liberties concerns, but these are part of a broader conversation about whether government is truly serving the people it represents.
Southwest Washington deserves leadership rooted in constitutional rights, human dignity, and local voices.
Right now, this is about listening. Reach out to me personally at: jdrossetti@protonmail.com
It’s natural to feel deeply in the face of injustice, but we must rise above hate. Love will overcome. Let us continue to set examples of love, truth, peace, and life. We deserve representation that prioritizes these values while protecting civil liberties, economic dignity, and human life.
