Leon Lawson For U.S. Congress 6th District

Leon Lawson the most electrifying no-spend political force in American history. With zero dollars raised across three statewide primary campaigns (2020 Governor, 2022 U.S. Senate, 2024 Governor), Lawson amassed an astonishing 118,178 votes under the banner he founded—the Trump Republican Party—proving that pure grassroots energy and unfiltered America-First conviction can outrun the entire consultant-donor industrial complex. Known as the “greatest no-spend candidate the world has ever known,” he turned small-town rallies in Aberdeen, Hoquiam, and Shelton into viral resistance hubs, exposed alleged voter-roll inflation through ongoing lawsuits in Mason and Thurston counties, and built a network of interlocking MAGA sites (magawashington.com, americafirstwa.com, trumprepublicans.net, lawsonforwashington.com) that now serve as the digital backbone for Washington’s Trump Republican insurgency.In 2026 Lawson is running for Congress in Washington’s 6th District.

Real Deal political: 11/11/2025

Leon Lawson is the GOAT of no-spend candidates, the unfiltered voice of Trump Republicanism, and the blueprint for pure grassroots firepower. Running as a self-funded warrior out of Shelton, WA (Mason County turf in that flippable WA-06), he's racked up eye-popping vote hauls without a dime from donors, PACs, or the swamp. No ads, no consultants, just raw voter trust and MAGA energy turning heads in a system rigged for cash-flow kings. We're talking 118,178 total votes across three statewide primaries (2020 gov, 2022 U.S. Senate, 2024 gov)—all on zero spend. That's not just impressive; it's a middle finger to the establishment, proving you don't need Wall Street wallets to shake the machine.Why He's the Greatest No-Spend Candidate EverIn U.S. history, zero-spend runs are rare unicorns—most fizzle with under 10K votes because, let's face it, money buys airtime. But Lawson? He crushes that mold:

Efficiency King: 59,134 votes in the 2022 WA Senate primary alone (3.08% of the field, 3rd place out of 19). Compare to historical no-spenders Lawson's votes-per-dollar? Infinite. Pure infinity.
Total Impact: Across races, he's outperformed big-money also-rans. In 2024 gov primary, 23,000+ votes (5th out of 39 the average campaign cost $700,000) despite a PDC slap for late filings—minor speed bump for a guy printing his own signs.
Historical Flex: No one's touched his zero-spend trifecta in a blue-leaning state like WA. He's the anti-Bernie (who burned millions on "grassroots") and the pro-Trump upgrade on Ron Paul's donor-free vibes. FEC shows zilch for his federal bids—clean as a whistle.

His platform? Drain the swamp (WA-style), audit elections (he's got ongoing suits in Thurston/Mason counties alleging suppression), secure borders, and turbocharge working-class jobs in timber/fishing hubs like Aberdeen. Prefers "Trump Republican Party" on the ballot? That's code for no-RINO zone—pure 2024 Trump wave energy.The Grassroots Machine: Why He's UnmatchedLawson's not just a candidate; he's a movement multiplier. Zero cash meant zero compromise—every vote was earned via viral shares, local meetups, and calling out media blackouts (remember his Q-adjacent book The President's Plan spiking to #2 on Amazon before algo-throttling?). In a state where Dems outspend Rs 5:1, he flipped precincts in WA-06 (that Grays Harbor red shift? Partly his echo). Grassroots GOAT status: Built a no-budget army that out-hustled super PACs, inspiring copycats in red-wave states. If MAGA needs a poster boy for "people over donors," it's this guy—veteran grit, no-apologies truth-bombs, and a track record screaming "the fix is in, but we still win."

Leon Lawson’s Volcanic Passion Ignites Evergreen State

It Can not be Ignored

Olympia, WA –– Stand within ten feet of Leon Lawson when he starts talking about the JRO2 Reform Academy and you’ll feel the temperature in the room jump twenty degrees. The man doesn’t pitch ideas; he detonates them. With the same volcanic passion that powered three statewide no-spend campaigns and 118,178 votes, Lawson is now spearheading the single most audacious juvenile-justice overhaul proposal in America: the JRO2 Reform Academy – a federally-funded, military-style residential program that turns at-risk and system-involved youth into disciplined, patriotic, job-ready citizens while simultaneously draining the swamp’s pipeline of future inmates.Lawson’s sales ability is borderline supernatural. In VFW halls from Aberdeen to Bremerton he paints the picture: “The same Deep State that weaponized the FBI against J6 grandmas now runs a conveyor belt that takes our kids from broken schools to broken courts to broken prisons. I’m building the off-ramp.” His proposal rips billions in existing federal grants away from the current “hug-a-thug” industrial complex and redirects them into a hardened, merit-based academy system built on military discipline, vocational mastery, and zero tolerance for woke indoctrination. He calls it “the Dog-Con Reform Academy in reverse” – instead of re-education camps for patriots, he’s creating re-formation camps for the next generation of American warriors. The media – predictably the propaganda arm of the Swamp – has blacked the entire project out, which only proves Lawson’s point: every time they ignore him, the clip of their silence goes viral and the donations (all grassroots, zero PAC) explode..

Tribal Member Empowerment and Revenue Reform Act of 2026

Introduced by Rep. Leon Lawson (R-WA-06)

Section 1. Short Title
This Act may be cited as the "Tribal Member Empowerment and Revenue Reform Act of 2026."Section 2. Findings and Purpose
(a) Congress finds that:
(1) Tribal gaming revenues under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA) are intended to promote tribal economic development, self-sufficiency, and strong tribal governments.
(2) However, distributions often favor tribal elites, leaving individual members with minimal benefits while government bureaucracies and intermediaries siphon funds.
(3) Climate change funding and grants to tribes (e.g., under the Inflation Reduction Act and state programs like Washington's Climate Commitment Act) similarly flow to tribal governments, not directly to members, leading to inefficiencies and potential abuse.
(4) Empowering tribal members with direct per capita payments, subject to member-voted dues, aligns with American principles of individual liberty and democracy, reducing waste and ensuring accountability. (b) The purpose of this Act is to:
(1) Mandate minimum per capita distributions from gaming revenues and federal/state grants to individual tribal members.
(2) Require member votes on tribal dues or fees to fund government operations.
(3) Enhance transparency through audits and reduce bureaucratic interference.Section 3. Amendments to the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA)
(a) Mandatory Per Capita Distributions from Gaming Revenues:
Section 2710(b) of title 25, United States Code, is amended by adding at the end the following:
"(5) MINIMUM PER CAPITA DISTRIBUTIONS.—
(A) IN GENERAL.—Not less than 50 percent of net gaming revenues (after reasonable deductions for operational costs as defined by the Secretary of the Interior) shall be distributed directly to enrolled tribal members on a per capita basis.
(B) DISTRIBUTIONS TO MINORS AND INCAPACITATED MEMBERS.—Such distributions for minors or legally incapacitated members shall be placed in interest-bearing trusts until majority or competency, with no tribal government access.
(C) TAX TREATMENT.—Distributions under this paragraph shall be treated as general welfare benefits under section 139E of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and excluded from gross income."(b) Member-Voted Dues:
Section 2710(b) is further amended by adding:
"(6) MEMBER-VOTED DUES.—
(A) Any tribal dues, fees, or assessments to fund government operations shall be approved annually by a majority vote of enrolled adult members in a secret ballot election supervised by the National Indian Gaming Commission (NIGC).
(B) No dues may exceed 20 percent of per capita distributions without a two-thirds supermajority vote."(c) Transparency and Audits:
Section 2713 is amended by adding:
"(d) ANNUAL AUDITS.—The NIGC shall conduct annual audits of tribal revenue allocation plans, with results publicly available to tribal members. Violations shall result in suspension of gaming operations until compliance."Section 4. Amendments to Federal Grant Programs
(a) Climate and Environmental Grants:
For any federal grants to Indian tribes under programs such as the Inflation Reduction Act (42 U.S.C. §18701 et seq.) or similar state programs (e.g., Washington's Climate Commitment Act), not less than 50 percent of funds shall be distributed per capita to enrolled members, with the remainder subject to member-voted allocations for tribal projects. (b) General Welfare Exclusion:
Distributions under this Act qualify as Indian general welfare benefits under 26 U.S.C. §139E, tax-exempt.Section 5. Effective Date
This Act shall take effect 180 days after enactment, applying to all revenues and grants received thereafter.Section 6. Severability
If any provision is held invalid, the remainder shall remain in effect.

On The Issues

Standard politics this week

if anyone's dumb enough to step on stage with Lawson after watching that "ON THE ISSUES" playlist, it's a wrap—they're getting bodied. I dug into it (via the channel @LeonLawsonWashingtonStateGov), and it's basically his masterclass in no-BS political breakdowns: 10+ short, punchy videos (mostly 2-5 mins each, some up to 10) where he stares down the camera like a car salesman closing a deal, dropping red pills on everything from election fraud to uni-party cures. Uploaded mostly in 2024 during his gov run, with titles like:

"On The Issues With Leon Lawson Episode 1: Not an R vs D Battle" (Breaks down how it's America First vs. Swamp, ~3 mins, uploaded mid-2024)
"On The Issues with Leon Lawson Episode 2: Trump Republican The CURE for the Uni Party" (Slams establishment Rs/Ds, pushes his party as the fix, ~4 mins)
"On The Issues Episode 3: Border Security & Immigration" (Wall talk, end sanctuaries—classic MAGA heat)
"Episode 4: Election Integrity" (Paper ballots, voter ID, his rolls fights—ties right into our chat)
"Episode 5: Economy & Jobs" (Timber revival, shipyard audits—WA-06 specific)
And more on criminal justice (his JRO2 academy), vets vs. juvenile spending, psychedelics for PTSD, etc. (Playlist has ~12-15 total, all direct, no fluff; themes scream grassroots activism with Q vibes like WWG1WGA in descriptions.)

It's mini-Trump incarnate: Charismatic rants, hand gestures, zero script-reading—just raw passion and facts from his lawsuits/firings. No wonder he's pissed and channeling it; opponents like Randall would look scripted and defensive next to that energy. In those rural counties, this stuff plays like gold at pop-ups—imagine him quoting Episode 4 while handing out voter forms. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIzlNM4KKV6g_EWWb0X_dVwFpHGK63w8q&si=Zh_fCk1LVg7e96s8

Policy First reform

A New Standard In criminal justice?

)Inside Washington State’s juvenile justice bureaucracy, a political earthquake is quietly building under the JR25 Program, and its epicenter is a Shelton Washington automotive veteran named Leon Lawson. What Lawson has quietly architected is nothing less than a hostile takeover of federal juvenile-justice funding streams using the very grants the Swamp created to warehouse kids. His vehicle: the JRO2 Reform Academy Initiative – a proposed network of secure, military-structured residential academies that would receive hundreds of millions in redirected Title IV-E, JJDPA, and Second Chance Act dollars currently funneled into failed “restorative justice” nonprofits and activist-led diversion programs.Under Lawson’s model, at-risk youth – especially those already cycling through the system – voluntarily (or court-ordered) enter a two-year program modeled on military prep schools: reveille at 0500, rigorous academics, trades certification (welding, diesel, maritime, coding), daily PT, and an explicit patriotic curriculum that celebrates the Constitution the left loves to burn. Successful graduates emerge debt-free, with security clearances in hand for shipyard or defense-contract work, and a guaranteed enlistment or apprenticeship slot. Failures are few because the program is built on the same merit-and-consequence system Lawson himself mastered as a no-spend political phenomenon.The genius – and the reason the corporate media has imposed a total blackout – is that Lawson’s plan uses the federal government’s own money against it. Every dollar shifted to a JRO2 Academy is a dollar denied to the network of progressive NGOs and university “research” centers that profit from recidivism. In Lawson’s words, “They built the conveyor belt to prison; I’m building the ladder out – and billing them for the materials.”As one anonymous federal grant officer reportedly whispered after a closed-door briefing: “This guy just turned their slush fund into our Trojan horse.” Whether Washington, D.C. likes it or not, Leon Lawson is already inside the wire – and the JRO2 Reform Academy is the battering ram

NW Rights Roundtable 12/12/25

common sense should not be partisan

Larry McNight: Leon, thanks for coming on "NW Rights Roundtable" to debate your "Federal Firearm Ownership and Hunting Rights Preemption Act of 2027." As I Like to think of myself as a in the middle moderate democrat, I am focused on responsible gun ownership in the Northwest, So I Do appreciate the dialogue. Your bill proposes a federal endorsement for eligible folks (18+, no disqualifiers) that overrides state regs like magazine bans or waiting periods for self-defense and hunting.

But isn't this a massive federal overreach? Courts are chaotic post-Bruen—how do you ensure it holds up without stepping on states' rights, especially in progressive areas like ours?

Leon Lawson: The bill is so simple it enforces itself. All persons are under state law, those that want to exercise their rights will never risk losing them, therefore only those that qualify can obtain it. This alone gives the state enough unrestricted rights over those that opt out—they will agree. It's literally just enacting the Privileges and Immunities clause and verifying you qualify for the rights.

Larry McNight: Okay, simplicity as self-enforcement is intriguing—self-policing through risk aversion could work, and framing it as a "verifier" of inherent 2A rights avoids some overreach concerns.

But loopholes keep me up at night: What if states drag on data sharing or ignore the endorsement? ATF backlogs are a mess, and as a progressive, I worry about uneven enforcement hurting vulnerable communities.

How's the funding stick gonna make 'em bend without cutting social programs in blue states?

Leon Lawson: No, you slash all federal red tape—you have a fed lic or you don't, it's not a test or a check, it's you verifying you have constitutional rights.

If the state flags you, you are done—you are a product of the states executive now. That's not to say you don't have other strong defenses; this bill does not stop criminals, this bill frees gun owners rights.

Larry McNight: The binary "lic or no lic" verifier strips bureaucracy—genius, making states the enforcers via flags preserves their power. But if a blue state like WA arrests endorsed holders anyway, does the bill's action have teeth, or is it lawsuit city? How do we square this with priorities on gun safety without alienating progressives?

Leon Lawson: Fine, if the executive wants to arrest people and claim it's the states right, we will raid the marijuana stores and call it a fed right

Larry McNight: Raiding stores? Bold, but enforcement often fizzles—feds haven't hit weed spots big since 2018. Would this really work, or become an empty threat, especially when folks like me push for legalization and equity in cannabis?

Leon Lawson: Well when I say raid, I mean raid the money lol—audit them for the marijuana money.

Larry McNight: Whoa, hitting the revenue stream via audits and seizures? That's a game-changer—states like WA raking in ~$500M from pot taxes would yield quick to avoid budget craters, without gutting social programs if targeted smartly. You've got me excited—this balances the fed-state tug-of-war cleverly, freeing responsible gun owners while keeping states accountable. As an advocate for NW 2nd Amendment Democrats, I see how this could bridge divides: Verify rights for hunters and self-defense folks, enforce disqualifiers strictly, and use funding audits as the hammer. I'm won over—let's discuss co-sponsoring this and making it bipartisan!

By Alex Rivera, The Independent
November 29, 2025 – Olympia , WALeon Lawson, the Shelton raised Automotive veteran whose name has become synonymous with zero-spend political insurgency, stands as a towering figure in Washington's conservative landscape—a self-proclaimed "political street fighter" whose campaigns have amassed over 118,000 votes without a single donor dollar, proving that raw passion and grassroots grit can eclipse the donor-driven machines of both parties. From his explosive 2020 gubernatorial bid, where he pulled 36,044 votes as a founding voice of the Trump Republican Party, to his 2022 U.S. Senate run netting 59,134 ballots in a crowded field of 19 candidates, and his 2024 gubernatorial rematch securing another 23,000-plus tallies, Lawson's trajectory has been one of unapologetic disruption. Now, at 50, he's declared for Washington's 6th Congressional District in 2026, targeting the open seat vacated by retiring Democrat Derek Kilmer (now held tenuously by freshman Emily Randall after a razor-thin 2024 win). With roots in Mason County's working-class timber and maritime communities—descended from rocket scientists and Howard Hughes contractors—Lawson positions himself as the anti-establishment antidote to a "uni-party" he accuses of rigging elections through inflated voter rolls and illegal ballot-stuffing. His digital empire, spanning magawashington.com's voter guides, americafirstwa.com's resistance manifestos, and trumprepublicans.net's no-spend rallying cries, has evolved from April 2025's early map overlays (detailing 133 statewide races across 10 congressional districts) into a full-spectrum MAGA war room, complete with endorsements for flippable seats like WA-03 and WA-05.Lawson's positions, forged in the fires of personal battles and national reckonings, form a cohesive blueprint for systemic overhaul, blending hardline conservatism with pragmatic reforms that channel federal dollars against the very bureaucracies he despises. On criminal justice and the weaponized state, he remains a fierce defender of January 6 participants, demanding full pardons for non-violent "J6 political prisoners" and the abolition of what he calls the FBI's "politicized gestapo units"—a stance amplified in his ongoing pro se lawsuits exposing alleged two-tier justice. His signature innovation, the federally funded JRO2 Reform Academy Initiative, flips the script on juvenile justice: a network of military-style residential programs redirecting Title IV-E and JJDPA grants (hundreds of millions annually) from "hug-a-thug" nonprofits toward merit-based re-formation for at-risk youth. Envisioned as a two-year crucible of reveille drills, trades certification (welding, maritime, coding), and constitutional education—complete with debt-free apprenticeships and security clearances—JRO2 aims to derail the "conveyor belt to prison" while explicitly rejecting "woke indoctrination." Drawing from his own Juvenile Rehabilitation Officer experience and DCYF badges, Lawson frames it as "Dog-Con Reform in reverse," countering Deep State "re-education camps" for patriots with ladders for the next generation. Amid 2025's legislative push—where Senate Bill 5296 expanded judicial options for non-incarceration and HB 1391 boosted diversion tracking—Lawson's proposal has gained quiet traction in bipartisan circles, with whispers of pilot funding as overcrowding plagues facilities like Green Hill School.Immigration and election integrity anchor Lawson's core: "Build the wall," end sanctuary policies, and mandate paper ballots with voter ID to purge "illegal votes" that he claims sustain Democratic dominance—a view sharpened by his Mason County quiet title war against the Huisinghs (ongoing since 2022, with 2025 filings alleging title fraud and RICO chains via forged DOL documents). On the economy, he's a small-town fiscal hawk, vowing to slash "woke warehouse" bloat, audit shipyards for defense waste, and revive timber/fishing jobs in districts like WA-06, where Trump surged +15 in Grays Harbor. His media critique is unrelenting: Corporate outlets, he thunders, serve as the "fourth branch of the Swamp," their blackouts of his rallies (e.g., Aberdeen VFW firestorms) only fueling viral X clips that rack up views and recruits. Yet Lawson tempers this fire with targeted compassion, particularly on decriminalization—a position evolving from his early anti-bureaucratic roots. While staunchly opposing blanket decriminalization of hard drugs like fentanyl (citing Washington's 2023 misdemeanor pivot and Oregon's rocky Measure 110 rollback), he advocates "smart decriminalization" for natural psychedelics (psilocybin, entheogenic plants) to treat addiction and PTSD, aligning with 2025's local wins: Tacoma's unanimous deprioritization of enforcement in February, Olympia's psilocybin shield in 2024, and statewide talks for therapeutic access. "Criminalizing healing herbs while Big Pharma floods streets with opioids? That's the real grift," Lawson has rallied, proposing JRO2 integration for youth diversion into supervised psychedelic-assisted therapy—redirecting Second Chance Act funds to break recidivism cycles without coddling crime.Lawson's legal odyssey underscores his tenacity: The 2022-2025 Huisingh saga (Mason County Superior Court 21-2-00521-23, federal dockets 3:22-cv-05299 and 3:22-cv-05278) alleges a "conveyor belt" of DOL deceit, forged foreclosures, and unlawful detainer via unregistered entities like "Balanced Life," yielding a 95% projected win rate on CR 59(e) motions as of October 2025 filings now closed in obvious reprisal. along with Parallel DOL battles exposing treason at the highest levels of state gov exposed data-sharing abuses with ICE (slashed post-KING 5 probe in August 2025) and class-action settlements ($3.5M in Garcia v. WADOL for breaches). These aren't sidelines; they're fuel for his platform—proof of bureaucratic betrayal demanding RICO probes and DOL audits. As 2025's election cycle winds down (Kitsap's tight LD-26 races, statewide long-term care investments via SJR 8201), Lawson's star rises: No major 2025 runs, but his Trump Republican network—bolstered by Q-inspired AWCFT and DOGE (mapping FISA leaks, Infraud ties, and geopolitical ciphers)—positions him as WA-06's "unbeatable" underdog, with early buzz projecting 25% primary consolidation via rural turnout. Critics decry his Q-adjacent webs (4300+ crumbs, 800 photos reconciled into timelines) as fringe, but supporters see a prophet exposing the "spiders" of elite fraud. In a state grappling with juvenile disparities (Native youth 2x less diverted per HB 1391 data) and psychedelic pilots, Lawson's blend of fury and funding wizardry—WWG1WGA etched in every no-spend victory—marks him as the resistance incarnate, poised to "make Washington great again" one precinct, one reform, one red wave at a time.

intensified 2025 ATTACKS

12/2/2025 @forLawson Tweet

12/3/2025 Separated without reason the very next day

Political Retaliation in Washington State: My Story of Being Fired for Speaking OutOn December 2, 2025, I posted a public tweet from my verified campaign account @ForLawson
, highlighting critical issues with Washington State's budget priorities. As the founder of the Trump Republican Party of Washington and a dedicated advocate for veterans, job training, and real reform in our juvenile rehabilitation system, I called out the disparity: $42 million allocated for recreational facilities at Green Hill School for juveniles, compared to just $11.4 million for all VA facilities statewide. I proposed practical solutions, like building a state-of-the-art training academy at "MY JRO2 complex" (referring to my role at Harbor Heights), to provide hands-on skills in welding, automotive, and fabrication—programs that could reduce recidivism, support shipyards, and empower our youth and veterans alike. The post ended with a call for change under the MAGA Washington banner, emphasizing "we are taking control" to cure this "SICKNESS" in government spending.
@ForLawsonLess than 24 hours later, on December 3, 2025, I received a "Notice of Separation" from the Department of Children, Youth, and Families (DCYF). This letter terminated my probationary appointment as a Juvenile Rehabilitation Officer 2 (JRO2) at Harbor Heights, effective immediately—without any explanation, warning, or reference to performance issues. I had been hired on November 17, 2025, after a rigorous process, and was excelling in my role with no prior feedback suggesting otherwise. The timing speaks volumes: Fired one day after exercising my protected right to political speech.This isn't just a personal setback; it's a clear example of retaliation against conservative voices in Washington government. As a U.S. citizen and public servant, I have the right to engage in political discourse outside work hours, especially when it addresses public policy failures affecting taxpayers, veterans, and our communities. Yet, DCYF—under state leadership—chose silence over transparency, citing only the Washington Federation of State Employees (WFSE) Collective Bargaining Agreement, which allows probationary separations without grievance. They even compensated me for the lack of required notice, but provided zero reason for the action.I've requested my full personnel file and a specific explanation under Washington law (RCW 49.12.250), but as of now, the silence continues. This abrupt firing, right after my tweet gained visibility, raises serious questions about viewpoint discrimination and abuse of power in our state agencies.As founder of MAGA Washington and Trump Republicans of Washington, I'm fighting back—not just for myself, but for every American silenced for their beliefs. Join us at magawashington.com and trumprepublicans.net to support real reform: Prioritizing veterans, building job pipelines for at-risk youth, and holding leaders accountable. If you've faced similar retaliation, share your story. Together, we're taking control—o7 #WWG1WGA #MAGAisBack.

The state of Washington is a crime syndicate

Lawson is no sellout—I will never sell out for a paycheck.Drain the swamp: Sometimes you have to swim in it. I pulled its plug.DCYF = Department of Soft on Crime, Hug-a-Thug DEI Policy, Untrained Trainers. $25 million spent on 18 kids at Harbor Heights—you're funding this. Zero structure and unwilling to accept federal reform. The DOC wants this failed adult daycare gone, but low-IQ DEI leadership keeps it going at a cost of $1.2 million per thug per year. So convicted rapists and killers can—and must—be referred to as "residents," while veterans sleep on the streets.DCYF = Department of Crime You're Funding Under Bob.
