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.Last updated: 2023-04-05

There are two good progressive choices in this race challenging an extremely conservative incumbent. Mary Lou Johnson is a lawyer and former nurse. Johnson has been a leader in the reform of Spokane County’s Criminal Justice system through her recent work on the Smart Justice Campaign.

Bonnie Mager is a former county commissioner, running as an independent. While on the County Commission she had a strong track record on environmental issues and open government. Recently she has been a strong advocate for getting big money out of politics and Initiative 1329.
