U.S. Representative

    Democrat

    Jason Ritchie

    Website Facebook Endorsements
  • Jason Ritchie is a rising star who is running an energetic campaign to defeat incumbent Dave Reichert. Ritchie started a business remodeling homes for the disabled after his father had a stroke and suffered from limited mobility. With a strong commitment to progressive values on issues such as immigration reform, protecting safe and legal access to abortion, and fully funding education, Ritchie would be a welcome change to the district.

    Conservative Republican Dave Reichert has yet to sponsor one piece of legislation that has been passed into law and is an ineffective representative for the district. Ritchie deserves your vote.

31st Legislative District

State Senator

No Good Choices

There are no good candidates in this race. Pam Roach is extremely conservative and very volatile. She has been banned from her caucus for abusing fellow legislators and has been censured for abusing staff. She also isn't afraid to buck her party on some occasions and has been good on some labor issues, which has earned her support from several labor unions. Her Democratic opponent, Lynda Messner, is also quite conservative and has made controversial remarks against immigrants and President Obama. The other Republican in this race, Cathy Dalquist, has been a consistently conservative vote and an obstacle to progress in the House.
