Suzan DelBene won a tough race in 2012 to represent the 1st Congressional District, which reaches from Kirkland to the Canadian border. A former executive at Microsoft and other technology companies, she has used her technology background to become a leader of protecting privacy rights against government surveillance. She has also been a strong advocate for job development, economic fairness, women’s health, and immigration reform. DelBene’s top challenger is Pedro Celis, a Republican and retired Microsoft engineer who was a leader for the George W. Bush re-election effort in 2004. Celis recently earned national attention by making unfortunate comments comparing gay marriage to polygamy. Edwin Moats, Robert Sutherland, and several other extremely conservative candidates in this race are not running competitive campaigns. DelBene’s experience and strong track record in her first term make her the clear choice in this race.Last updated: 2023-04-05

Representative Adam Smith has served in the U.S. House since 1997. Smith is a moderate Democrat who has been a reliable vote on progressive issues, including marriage equality and eliminating Don’t Ask, Don't Tell. Smith is also in favor of more progressive taxation and immigration reform. Smith has worked hard to connect with and represent his new constituents after this district changed considerably in the redistricting process. He continues to be an advocate for greater equality, and fought House Republicans' efforts to slash food stamps in the most recent farm bill.
Three opponents have thrown their hat in the ring against Smith. Though none of them are running competitive campaigns, progressive Democrat Don Rivers has an impressive platform. However, Smith’s track record has earned him the support of major progressive organizations in this race.Last updated: 2023-04-05Adam Smith

Tana Senn is a newcomer to the House after longtime representative Marcie Maxwell stepped down. Senn, a former Mercer Island Councilmember, was appointed to the state Legislature in 2013 by a unanimous vote of the Republicans and Democrats on the King County Council. Senn has been a strong education advocate and sponsored a bill to help low-income students access early learning programs. As the vice chair of the House Environment Committee, Senn also supported legislation to protect our communities from the increasing amount of oil transported across the state as well as ending the use of toxics in baby pads and household furniture. Senn's opponent, Bill Stinson, is a 20-year-old sophomore political science major at the University of Washington who worked on the Ron Paul campaign in 2012. Unlike Paul, Stinson considers himself both pro-choice and pro-LGBTQ equality. While Stinson offers some excitement for the future of the Republican Party, Senn's experience and bipartisan support make her the best choice in this race.Last updated: 2023-04-05

Rep. Cyrus Habib recently announced his candidacy for state Senate after Sen. Rodney Tom retired. In his two years in the House, Habib has been a staunch supporter of public education, transit solutions, and gun safety. Habib authored a successful jobs bill to connect entrepreneurs with additional funding options, and has been named one of 12 legislators to watch in the country by Governing Magazine. His opponent, Republican Michelle Darnell, is a Ron Paul supporter who had not actively voted until she got involved in the Occupy Wall Street movement. She does not appear to be running a serious campaign. Habib is the best choice in this race to solve the pressing needs of the Eastside.Last updated: 2023-04-05

Former Kirkland Mayor Joan McBride showed her willingness to fight for progressive values when she challenged then-Sen. Rodney Tom, who stepped down due to family issues. McBride showed her financial discipline in Kirkland during her time as mayor and is a strong supporter of women's health, LGBTQ equality, working transportation options, and Puget Sound cleanup. She is opposed by libertarian Tim Turner, who is not running a credible campaign. McBride deserves your vote.Last updated: 2023-04-05
