Will and Ben Honea: Why We Support Kamala Harris for President

Wait Washington Generators Services, we usually focus on keeping homes powered and protected with high-quality generators. But today, we want to step away from our regular conversation about Kohler and Generac systems to share something we both feel strongly about: the 2024 presidential election. As business owners and active participants in our community, we’ve given a lot of thought to what kind of leadership the country needs. And for us, the best candidate for the job is Kamala Harris.

Now, you might wonder why two brothers in the generator business are stepping into the political arena. Well, just like we care about keeping your lights on, we care about the future of the country, too. Here’s why Kamala Harris has our vote—especially when it comes to her progressive stances on transgender rights, raising taxes for the wealthy, and holding the government accountable.

1. Transgender Rights and Equality

One of the things that stands out about Kamala Harris is her unwavering support for transgender rights. In today’s world, inclusivity matters more than ever, and her advocacy for the transgender community aligns with values we believe are essential for the future. Harris has consistently pushed for policies that ensure everyone—regardless of gender identity—has equal access to healthcare, education, and workplace protections.

For us, supporting these rights isn’t just about politics; it’s about recognizing the humanity in everyone and fostering a society where people are free to live as their authentic selves.

2. Raising Taxes for the Wealthy

At first glance, supporting higher taxes might seem counterintuitive for business owners like us. But when you look closely at what Kamala Harris stands for, it’s clear that her approach to raising taxes isn’t about hurting small businesses—it’s about ensuring that the ultra-wealthy pay their fair share. The current tax structure is tilted heavily in favor of billionaires and massive corporations, while the middle class continues to shoulder the burden.

By advocating for tax increases on the top 1%, Harris aims to redistribute wealth in ways that support working families, improve public infrastructure, and fund essential services like education and healthcare. As small business owners, we understand the importance of a thriving, equitable economy where everyone has a chance to succeed—not just the wealthiest among us.

3. Rebuilding Trust by Exposing Mistrust

Let’s face it: mistrust in the government is at an all-time high. Scandals, corruption, and secrecy have led many Americans to feel like their leaders aren’t working in their best interests. One of the things we respect most about Kamala Harris is her focus on accountability. Whether it’s fighting for more transparency or holding institutions accountable for unethical practices, Harris doesn’t shy away from the tough work of rebuilding trust between the government and the people.

By pushing for more oversight and advocating for reforms that demand accountability, Harris is taking important steps toward restoring public faith in the institutions that are supposed to serve us.

Why It All Matters to Us

You might be thinking, why are Will and Ben Honea, generator guys from Sedro-Woolley, talking about Kamala Harris? It’s simple: We believe that the future of the country, just like the future of any business, depends on the strength of its leadership and the values they stand for.

Harris’s progressive stance on transgender rights aligns with our belief in inclusivity and fairness for all people. Her willingness to raise taxes on the wealthy reflects a desire to balance the scales and provide more opportunities for small businesses and working families. And her push for more transparency and accountability resonates with us, as we value trust and integrity in our own work and interactions with customers.

Looking Forward

As the political landscape continues to evolve, we think it’s crucial for everyone to be engaged and informed. No matter where you stand on the issues, it’s important to think critically about the future we want to build together. For us, Kamala Harris is the candidate who brings the right combination of progress, fairness, and accountability to the table—and that’s why she has our support in the upcoming election.
