Congress

Depending on where you live, you may have one of the below congressional districts on your ballot.

  • Twelve candidates are running in this largely conservative district to replace Doc Hastings, who is retiring this year. Among those running are eight Republicans, two Democrats, and two Independents. Estakio Beltran has received the most support from progressives among these candidates. Beltran is a community leader and former Congressional staffer who wants to end the gridlock in Congress and ensure farm workers and tribal communities have a voice at the federal level.

    The main conservative candidates in the race are former Rep. Dan Newhouse; Janéa Holmquist, a far-right state Senator who led a number of bills that hurt working families this past year; and Tea Party activist Clint Didier, the former NFL player who has put his own money into numerous Congressional races. Other candidates include Democrat Tony Sandoval and Republicans George Cicotte, Kevin Midbust, Glen Stockwell, and Gavin Seim, who are not running competitive campaigns. Beltran is the best choice to represent the people of this district.

  • Joe Pakootas is community leader and businessman credited with turning around the Colville Tribe’s business enterprises during his time as CEO. He also served as an elected member and Chairman of the tribal council. He is challenging conservative Congresswoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers, who is a top member of the Republican leadership in the House. She played a big part in designing and backing the House Republican’s extremely partisan agenda — including blocking emergency benefits for the unemployed; cutting $40 billion from food stamps, which would have taken basic food supplies away from 4 million people including seniors, veterans and kids; opposing efforts to increase the minimum wage; and blocking laws to end pay discrimination against women. McMorris Rodgers backed this partisan agenda all while protecting tax breaks and loopholes for powerful corporations and the super-wealthy. Pakootas would be a refreshing change of leadership for the 5th Congressional District.

  • Former U.S. Army Sergeant Gabriel Muñoz is running because he believes education is key to the next generation's success. As a life skills instructor, the former Student Body President at Central Washington University helps teach adults valuable business skills and connect them to jobs. His opponent, conservative Jim Honeyford, is a major obstacle to progressive budgets that protect the most vulnerable. Muñoz deserves your vote.
