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.Last updated: 2023-04-05Jason Ritchie

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

Former SeaTac City Councilwoman Mia Su-Ling Gregerson was appointed to her seat in the House last year. Gregerson has long been a transportation advocate, including during her time on the SeaTac City Council where she fought for light rail infrastructure, safe and complete streets, and transit-oriented development. Her main focus in the legislature has been education funding, transportation, and ensuring access to health care for all communities. If retained, she would be the first person of color ever elected to the 33rd legislative district despite its diverse constituency. Gregerson faces opposition from conservative Des Moines City Councilwoman and former judge Jeanette Burrage, who is best known for saying “women lawyers, you better wear skirts” in 2006. Burrage was also rated five years in a row as "Not Qualified" by the King County Bar Association. Another opponent, Independent Kent City Councilman Les Thomas, is not running an effective campaign. Gregerson deserves your vote.Last updated: 2023-04-05

Carol Barber is a small business owner who is running to fight for a living wage for working families and access to better jobs. She is progressive on a broad range of issues and has also been a leader with the 47th District Democrats. Unfortunately, Barber is not doing any fundraising. Her opponent is Joe Fain, a moderate Republican. To his credit, Fain has earned a few progressive endorsements by supporting both marriage equality and the Dream Act. However, Fain has chosen to stand with his extremely conservative Republican caucus on most issues, blocking progress on women’s reproductive health and a transportation package, for example. He also sponsored bills to cut prisoner food benefits and expand dangerous nuclear options. Barber is the best choice in this race.Last updated: 2023-04-05

As the Chief of Staff in the King County Sheriff's office, Chris Barringer has been on the front lines of fighting human trafficking, managing large budgets, and providing public accountability. Prior to that, Barringer was the policy lead on several pieces of legislation for the King County Council, including the Council’s Transparency in Taxation initiative and the Safer Neighborhoods Ordinance, both of which were passed unanimously by the Council. His opponent, Rep. Mark Hargrove, is a socially conservative Republican who barely won his seat in 2012. He infamously compared marriage equality to a Jack in the Box commercial in a speech on the House floor. Barringer's background in public safety, strong display of transparency, and policy chops make him a great choice to represent this district.Last updated: 2023-04-05
