Graham's "advocacy for victims of human trafficking and abuse" is informed by personal tragedy,[6] the murder of her sister by the Green River Killer.[7] She also supports the death penalty due to this event.[8] She lobbied for House Bill 1352 which extended the statute of limitations on "child molesters until the victim turns 30".[9]
After an Inlander reporter wrote about her linking to conspiracy websites on Facebook in 2020,[10][11] Graham called him a "cocksucker," a "lying piece of shit," "disgusting," "hateful" "sleazy" and accused him of an "attack on human trafficking victims."[12][13]
