    Website Facebook
  • Denny Heck has had a long, effective career in both the private and public sector, most notably as a five-term state representative, House majority leader, chief of staff to former Gov. Booth Gardner, and TVW co-founder. As a Congressman for the last two years, he has fought to make college more affordable, worked to lower healthcare costs, ensure veterans get the benefits they deserve, and create middle class jobs.

    Heck is being challenged by Republican Joyce McDonald, a Pierce County Councilwoman, former state legislator, and former Republican Party official. Other candidates include Independent Jennifer Gigi Ferguson, who is conservative on social issues, including women’s health protections, and is not running a competitive campaign, as well as Human Rights Party member Sam Wright. Heck’s track record, experience, and values make him the best choice in this race.

As someone who grew up poor and wants to do better for the next generation, he is fearless in his advocacy for a better world for our children.

Thurston County Commissioner, District #3

  • Karen Valenzuela photo
    Democrat

    Karen Valenzuela

  • Incumbent Karen Valenzuela is a progressive Democrat. She has been endorsed by the National Women's Political Caucus, among others. Valenzuela has clear goals in mind for increasing sustainability in Thurston. Unfortunately, she has moved to privatize the custodial staff of the court house, a blow to local labor unions. Valenzuela's opponent, Independent Bud Blake, condemns the contracting of the custodial positions on his website and calls for the workers to be rehired. A great deal of Blake's focus is on the ARC jail, which is being underused and costing millions in tax money to keep open. However, Blake also has the backing of many local Republicans. We think Valenzuela is the better choice in this race.
