Progressive Voters Guide

9th Congressional District

U.S. Representative

Democrat
Adam Smith

Website Facebook Endorsements
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.

State Representative, Position #2

Democrat
Mia Su-Ling Gregerson

Website Facebook Endorsements
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.
