Lynn Trinh——為自由與人民權利而戰的候選人

【大紀元2024年10月28日訊】（大紀元西雅圖訊）在2024年競逐華盛頓州第48選區立法席位的候選人中，Lynn Trinh因其不凡的個人成長經歷與堅定的政治信念而脫穎而出。Trinh表示，她決心投入公職並非出於政治野心，「而是出於服務人民的深切承諾」。

Trinh將自己對自由的信念歸因於在中國文化大革命期間的成長經歷，她親眼目睹了當時中共壓迫與控制人民所帶來的恐懼。「我親身經歷過失去自由的危險，那段經歷讓我明白自由的重要性。」

在她最近的西藏之行中，她看到當地人民的基本權利受限，這一幕深深喚起了她的記憶。「美國人往往低估了我們自由的脆弱性。」Trinh 強調，「我希望成為一名為人民捍衛自由的領導者。」Trinh相信華盛頓州目前正面臨嚴重的政府過度干預，導致了人民需求的忽視，這促使她決定參選。

Lynn Trinh認為美國及華盛頓州正處於關鍵的十字路口。「在華盛頓州的這些年，我們一直被過度監管和失敗的領導所困擾，政府的控制優先於人民的需求。小企業在繁重的稅收和複雜的法規下舉步維艱。我們的學校逐漸落後，父母不僅失去了引導孩子教育的自然權利，還失去了對孩子長期健康決策的同意權。」她說。

減少稅收與監管，幫助小企業發展

Trinh尤其關注華州政府的過度監管，這些政策讓小企業和家庭都難以應對。「你知道華盛頓州是全美法規最多的州之一，擁有超過19萬條監管限制嗎？」Trinh指出華州的小企業因需要按總收入納稅，即便虧損也必須支付營業與職業稅（B&O稅），這對於新創企業而言尤其不利。

「小企業在繁重的稅負和日益複雜的監管環境下舉步維艱，」Trinh說道，「我們需要一個簡化、透明的法規體系，讓企業能夠專注於發展，而非對抗政策上的障礙。」

Trinh計劃通過改革B&O稅或提供小企業免稅來減輕其負擔，讓企業家能更專注於發展業務而非繁瑣的政府規定。「減少監管和稅負，將能激發創新、創造就業，並促進經濟增長，」她補充道，認為這將對華盛頓州的經濟和當地家庭帶來積極影響。

Trinh強烈批評了政府的交通和無家可歸問題解決方案，認為儘管投入了巨額資金，但效果卻不顯著。

重建家長權利，提升教育質量

在教育政策上，Trinh提出了「恢復家長權利」的政策主張。她對華州教育水準的下滑表示憂慮，特別是閱讀和數學的標準下降。作為一位擁有13年以上教學經驗的教育工作者，Trinh認為教育應該回到強調學術和生活技能的基礎，並且需要家長與教師的緊密合作。

她指出：「我們的公立學校課程方向令人擔憂。學生的學術和批判性思維都需要加強，這將直接影響我們的社會未來。」

Trinh強調學術教育和生活技能教育的雙重重要性，並主張重新引入歷史、政治學和古典學的課程，以幫助學生更好地理解社會運行和建立自主的思維方式。「我們需要提供更多的學校選擇，職業學校和專門項目應根據學生的興趣和需求設計。」她認為這將為未來的領導者提供工具，以創造一個繁榮的社會。

Trinh強烈主張家長在教育系統中應擁有更多的控制權。她對近期通過的參議院第5599號法案表示擔憂，因為該法案允許未成年人在未經父母同意的情況下接受性別認同醫療。「這一條款可能會對家長權利和青少年健康帶來長期負面影響。」她說。她承諾如果當選，將致力於讓家長在子女的社會和醫療福祉中擁有更多的話語權。

強化公共安全，支持地方社區

公共安全是Trinh的另一大關注點。她指出，第48選區的居民對社區安全的擔憂日益增加，而她計劃與執法部門密切合作，確保他們擁有維護公共安全所需的資源與支持。Trinh強調改革刑事司法系統的重要性，並主張將安保人員重新引入學校。「我們需要的不是單純的法規堆積，而是能夠真正解決問題的政策，」她說道。Trinh對州內一些政策表示批評，例如設置涉及社區的毒品注射站。「這些措施不僅未能有效解決無家可歸問題，反而增加了安全隱患。」她承諾將推動更加透明和問責的政策，確保社區的需求被政府聽到和重視。

公民自由與公共安全的平衡

Trinh認為，平衡公民自由與公共安全是政策制定中不可忽視的議題。她強調「對憲法的堅持」和「對個人權利的保護」，並認為這是建設安全社區的根本。「我們必須確保政府的行動不會侵犯個人自由。」她主張加強執法部門的資源，同時也要保持透明度，以平衡社會安全與個人自由。

重振公民自由：Trinh的五大核心目標

總結Trinh的政策目標，她提出了「五個R」的核心重點。這五個R分別是：

1）恢復家長權利（Reclaim Parents’ Rights）。2）重振教育品質（Restore Quality Education）3）加強公共安全（Redeem Public Safety）4）減少監管與稅收（Reduce Regulations and Taxes）5）捍衛公民的核心自由（Return Civil Liberties）

「我相信我可以為第48選區帶來積極的改變。」Trinh表示，她準備將政策重心回歸到人民的需求上，並推動更加透明和問責的政府。

Lynn Trinh將選民視為她的盟友，並認為這場選舉是華州選民選擇新領導的關鍵時刻。她希望選民能夠在11月5日支持她，為第48選區帶來一個「專注於人民需求」的未來。

Trinh attributes her belief in freedom to her experience growing up during China’s Cultural Revolution, where she witnessed firsthand the horrors brought about by the CCP’s oppression and control of its people. "I personally experienced the danger of losing freedom, and that experience made me understand the importance of freedom."

During her recent trip to Tibet, she witnessed the restriction of basic rights of local people, a scene that deeply evoked her memory. "Americans often underestimate the fragility of our freedoms," Trinh emphasized. "I want to be a leader who defends freedom for the people." Trinh believes that Washington state is currently facing serious government overreach, resulting in the neglect of the people's needs. , which prompted her decision to run.

Lynn Trinh believes the United States and Washington state are at a critical crossroads. "Throughout the years in Washington state, we have been plagued by overregulation and failed leadership, with government control prioritizing the needs of the people. Small businesses have struggled under onerous taxes and complex regulations. Our schools have fallen behind, and parents have not only They lose their natural right to guide their children’s education, and they also lose their right to consent to long-term health decisions for their children,” she said.

Reduce taxes and regulations to help small businesses grow

Trinh is particularly concerned about Washington state government's over-regulation, which makes it difficult for small businesses and families to cope. "Did you know that Washington state is one of the states with the most regulations in the United States, with more than 190,000 regulatory restrictions?" Trinh pointed out that small businesses in Washington state need to pay taxes on gross income, and they must pay business and occupation taxes (B&O taxes) even if they lose money. ), which is particularly detrimental to new ventures.

"Small businesses are struggling under heavy tax burdens and an increasingly complex regulatory environment," Trinh said. "We need a simplified and transparent regulatory system that allows companies to focus on growth rather than fighting policy obstacles."

Trinh plans to ease the burden by reforming the B&O tax or providing small business tax exemptions, allowing entrepreneurs to focus more on growing their businesses rather than burdensome government regulations. “Reducing regulations and tax burdens will spur innovation, create jobs, and promote economic growth,” she added, believing this would have a positive impact on Washington state’s economy and local families.

Trinh has strongly criticized the government's solutions to traffic and homelessness, arguing that despite huge investments of money, the results are insignificant.

Rebuilding parents’ rights and improving education quality

In terms of education policy, Trinh proposed the policy of "restoring parents' rights." She expressed concern about the decline in education standards in Washington, especially in reading and math. As an educator with more than 13 years of teaching experience, Trinh believes that education should go back to the basics of emphasizing academics and life skills, and requires close cooperation between parents and teachers.

She pointed out: "The direction of our public school curriculum is worrying. Students' academic and critical thinking need to be strengthened, which will directly affect the future of our society."

Trinh emphasized the dual importance of academic education and life skills education, and advocated the reintroduction of courses in history, political science and classics to help students better understand the operation of society and establish independent ways of thinking. “We need to provide more school options, and vocational schools and specialized programs should be designed based on students’ interests and needs.” She believes this will provide future leaders with the tools to create a prosperous society.

Trinh strongly advocates that parents should have more control in the education system. She expressed concern about the recently passed Senate Bill 5599, which would allow minors to receive gender identity medical treatment without parental consent. "This provision could have long-term negative consequences for parents' rights and youth health," she said. She pledged to work to give parents a greater say in their children's social and medical well-being if elected.

Strengthen public safety and support local communities

Public safety is another major concern for Trinh. She noted that residents of the 48th Ward are increasingly concerned about community safety, and she plans to work closely with law enforcement to ensure they have the resources and support they need to maintain public safety. Trinh stressed the importance of reforming the criminal justice system and advocated for the reintroduction of security personnel into schools. "What we need is not just a pile of regulations, but policies that can actually solve the problem," she said.

Trinh has criticized some of the state's policies, such as the establishment of community-based drug injection sites. "These measures not only fail to effectively solve the problem of homelessness, but also increase safety risks." She promised to promote more transparent and accountable policies to ensure that the needs of the community are heard and valued by the government.

Balancing Civil Liberties and Public Safety

Trinh believes that balancing civil liberties and public safety is an issue that cannot be ignored in policy formulation. She emphasized "adherence to the Constitution" and "protection of individual rights" and believed that this is the foundation for building a safe community. "We must ensure that government actions do not infringe on individual freedoms." She advocated strengthening the resources of law enforcement agencies while also maintaining transparency to balance social security and personal freedoms.

Revitalizing civil liberties: Trinh’s five core goals

Summarizing Trinh's policy goals, she put forward the core focus of the "Five R's". The five R’s are:

1) Reclaim Parents' Rights.2) Restore Quality Education3) Strengthen Public Safety (Redeem Public Safety)4) Reduce Regulations and Taxes5) Defend citizens’ core freedoms (Return Civil Liberties)

"I believe I can bring positive change to the 48th District." Trinh said she is ready to return policy focus to the needs of the people and promote a more transparent and accountable government.

Lynn Trinh views voters as her allies and sees this election as a critical moment for Washington voters to choose new leadership. She hopes voters will support her on November 5 and bring a future to the 48th District that is "focused on the needs of the people."
