    Don’s Bio

    Don L. Rivers is an organizer not a fraternizer. In his many years of running for public office, he has not taken money from lobbyists, or any special interest groups. He considers himself to be a representative of the people, not a politician. He not only stands for the people but with the people.

    Rivers wants to increase the state budget by 12.5% over the next three years. This will be accomplished through increasing more import and export commerce thus creating more jobs. Rivers plans to improve Washington State's desperate need for a better mental health system. The state and the health system need to work together to structure a mental health system that deals with preventive treatment as well as diagnostic and continuous treatment. It should be structured for everyone, not just those who are chronically mentally ill.

    Rivers wholeheartedly support a woman's right to freedom of choice. No person, politician or government has the right to make that choice for a woman about what she can and cannot do with her body. Men have the freedom of choice and so should women.

    Rivers knows that homelessness is one of the biggest crisis facing our state and nation. He wants to develop programs that will not only help to reduce the problem but treat the underlying causes such as runaways stemming from child trafficking and abuse, inflated mortgage rates, and unemployment as well as mental illness.

    Don L. Rivers plans to go across the state to all 39 counties to speak with the communities. This is to explore avenues and options which can uplift each county. Also to get a better understanding of the needs for investment opportunities in areas of real estate, manufacturing, education, etc.

Sponsor CavnessHR delivers HR companies with 49 or fewer people with our HR platform and by providing you access to your own HRBP. www.CavnessHR.com Rosa’s Bio Rosa Crumpton, BSN, MBA, RN, is dedicated to holistic health and serving underserved communities. With over 18 years of nursing experience, she founded Melanated Health Secrets, a blog dedicated to empowering individuals, especially fibroid sufferers, to manage their conditions naturally by balancing hormones and resetting their nervous systems. She will graduate in a few weeks with a Doctorate of Nursing Practice in Family Practice at Pacific Lutheran University, where she focuses on cultural aspects of care. Her innovative approach and dedication to holistic health have earned her features in several prestigious publications, including Slate, Nurse Journal, and Thrive Global, and appearances on platforms like the Black Women Rising podcast. Rosa’s passion for health advocacy shines through her work with Melanated Health Secrets, where she combines her extensive nursing background with a deep understanding of holistic wellness to guide individuals toward improved health literacy and self-care practices. As a Tacoma native, Rosa’s journey is also deeply personal, as are her fibroid and thyroid experiences. A mother to a vibrant blended family and a proud member of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., her life is a testament to her belief in community, advocacy, and the transformative power of culturally competent care.

I know it's a struggle. It can take a couple of interviews to try to find the right provider. Now, if you don't have a good relationship with your provider, shop around. We are fortunate to be in that kind of time that we're able to do that. But it's really important for you to have somebody that knows your health when you are somewhat healthy. Because if you do have something happen and you go to the emergency room or the urgent care. They don't have your whole record, they don't know all the stuff that's going on with you. That's not where you get treated, especially with chronic health issues. My second thing is if you are a veteran and you have not signed up for your veterans benefits, please do that. You can file online, you could call the number, just Google like VA benefits or whatever. Fairly straight forward process, but it does take time. So go ahead and get that started today.

    I think presence is probably the thing that is most scarce in our lives today. I think the more we can carve out time to be fully present, the more successful we're going to be in all the work that we do both personally and professionally.

    So if I could just put that out there as a kind of a thought, seek opportunities to be fully present with yourself and with people. Because there has never been a time where there have been more distractions and more noise than there is now. It's really hard to do good work and make a big difference when you've got 27 things on at the same time
