Sage Leaders is proud to endorse Patrick DePoe for State Rep. 24th LD Pos. 2! ✅️ Patrick is running to fight for a Peninsula that's been ignored for too long: from rural communities priced out of homeownership to families forced to choose between housing and healthcare. Patrick DePoe is championing affordable housing investments, apprenticeship pathways to good-paying jobs, fully-funded schools, and a tax code that asks the ultra-wealthy and big corporations to pay their fair share while protecting the forests, waters, and fisheries that sustain Peninsula communities for generations to come.

She’s championing bold solutions like expanding social housing, investing in community land trusts, funding climate resilience, and ensuring corporations, not working people, pay their fair share.
