Pro-Choice Washington

Pro-Choice Washington strives to elect pro-choice officials to secure, protect and strengthen reproductive freedom and choice. As a non-partisan organization we endorse candidates based solely on their support for a wide range of reproductive healthcare issues. Our endorsement process includes a candidate questionnaire followed by a personal interview between the candidate and our Political Action Committee.

  • VOTE YES

    Vote YES for Jobs and Clean Energy

  • Initiative 1631 is our best opportunity to accelerate clean energy solutions and build healthier communities for everyone in Washington.

    This initiative will charge our state’s largest corporate polluters a fee that will be used to create local jobs by investing in clean energy, healthy forests, and clean water. I-1631 is essential to pass a clean and healthy Washington on to future generations. It will create 40,000 jobs by investing in water and forestry projects, energy efficiency, and clean transportation. These investments are a practical first step to ensure clean air and clean water for everyone in Washington. These will look different in every community, from energy efficiency upgrades for our homes and businesses to keeping our forests healthy so they clean our air and investing in cleaner transportation options for more communities.

    The oil industry is spending tens of millions of dollars to confuse voters about I-1631 so they can continue polluting for free and raking in record profits. We can't wait any longer to act. Vote YES on I-1631.

Congress

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

  • It’s time for new leadership in Congress, and that starts here in Eastern Washington with Lisa Brown.

    Brown is a former state Senator and chancellor of Washington State University Spokane. Brown is committed to building an economy that works for all of us and ensuring access to quality, affordable health care for every family. She is focused on listening to the needs of our local communities, not lobbyists, campaign donors, and national political leaders. She will protect our local environment, supports reproductive rights, and supports comprehensive immigration reform that protects Dreamers.

    Brown’s opponent, Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, is a party-line member of the House Republican leadership who has lost touch with the people she is supposed to represent. Rep. McMorris Rodgers was an enthusiastic supporter of the Republicans’ $1.5 trillion tax giveaway to billionaires and corporations. Last year, Rep. McMorris Rodgers was the only member of the Washington state delegation to vote to repeal the Affordable Care Act, which would have eliminated health care for 23 million Americans, including approximately 30,000 people in Eastern Washington.

    Brown is the clear choice in this race because she is committed to putting working families first. Vote Lisa Brown for Congress in Washington's 5th Congressional District.

  • Dr. Kim Schrier is a pediatrician who was inspired to run for Washington’s 8th Congressional District because of Republican efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act. She is committed to building an economy that works for everyone and protecting Social Security and Medicare for all. She also wants to bring her voice to the debates about women’s health care and abortion rights in Congress, where there are currently no women doctors. Dr. Schrier supports letting Americans of any age buy into Medicare on a sliding scale to reduce overhead costs and increase competition for private insurers.

    Dr. Schrier is running against Republican Dino Rossi, who previously ran unsuccessful campaigns for governor and U.S. Senate. Rossi has consistently sided with congressional Republicans, including supporting the repeal of the Affordable Care Act and tax cuts for corporations and the wealthy few. He is also strongly anti-choice and does not support commonsense gun safety legislation. While in the state Legislature, he wrote a budget that would have taken away health care from 45,000 low-income kids. Rossi would be another reliable vote for the Republican leaders and powerful special interests in Washington, D.C.

    We need new leadership in Congress that puts working families before corporations and the wealthy elites who rig the rules. Dr. Kim Schrier is the best choice for Washington's 8th Congressional District.

Ormsby has helped write and pass bills to bring good jobs to Spokane, protect the environment, and preserve critical health care services. Rep.

  • Claire Wilson is the President of the Federal Way School Board and previously worked for 25 years at the Puget Sound Educational Service District specializing in early learning. She has devoted her career to education and is running for state Senate in Legislative District 30 to improve opportunities for students across the state. In addition, Wilson is committed to expanding access to quality, affordable health care and streamlining transportation projects that have left South King County stuck in traffic.

    Wilson’s opponent is socially conservative Republican Senator Mark Miloscia. Sen. Miloscia is opposed to safe and legal abortion access and marriage equality. He supports allowing employers to deny coverage for birth control and co-sponsored a bill that could ban many forms of birth control. Sen.

  • Incumbent Democratic state Senator John McCoy has been an environmental champion and strong supporter of working people. Prior to joining the Legislature, Sen. McCoy was in the United States Air Force for 20 years and returned to Washington to bring computer education to the Tulalip Tribes. In the Senate, Sen. McCoy has been on the front lines fighting against special interests who want to roll back Washington's strong environmental protections. Moving forward, Sen. McCoy is focused on bringing internet access to rural communities, supporting local businesses, and increasing mental health services available to K-12 students.

    Sen. McCoy faces a challenge from Republican Dr. Savio Pham, a Vietnamese refugee who resettled in Everett 20 years ago. While Dr. Pham's platform states his opposition to higher property taxes, progressive tax reform, and heroin injection sites, his campaign fails to offer pragmatic policy solutions to the many challenges facing the Puget Sound region.

  • Democratic senator Manka Dhingra is running for re-election in the 45th Legislative District. First elected in 2017, Dhingra has been an effective advocate for criminal justice reform and equality for LGBTQ youth. Dhingra played a pivotal role in ensuring that the Legislature closed dangerous loopholes for domestic violence offenders seeking to purchase firearms and fought to improve the quality of K-12 education offered in Washington. Sen. Dhingra has continued to prioritize the concerns of Eastside families by focusing on long-term transit solutions and fixing our state’s upside-down tax system. Looking ahead, Sen. Dhingra plans to improve housing affordability and address the growing homelessness crisis.

    Sen. Dhingra is being challenged by Republican Dale Fonk, a business owner who is serving his third term as Chairman of the 45th Legislative District Republicans. Fonk has failed to produce a substantive policy platform, sticking to vague promises of encouraging local business and avoiding reforming the state's regressive tax structure.

    For her commitment to Eastside communities and service in the Legislature, voters should re-elect Sen. Manka Dhingra this November.

  • Democrat Mona Das is challenging Republican Senator Joe Fain for the 47th Legislative District Senate seat. Das is a small business owner who is running to address the housing affordability crisis impacting South King County. Additionally, Das is focused on creating jobs, easing traffic congestion, and fixing our state’s upside-down tax system. Prior to running for the state Senate, Das entered the race for the 8th Congressional District before switching her focus to more local issues.

    Das faces a competitive race against Sen. Fain, a moderate conservative who has chosen to stand with the far-right members of his caucus on a broad range of issues. Sen. Fain has served as the Republican Floor Leader since 2013 and played a consequential role in blocking progress on fully funding public education. While Sen. Fain has a poor record on social justice issues, he deserves some credit for sponsoring legislation for paid family sick leave.

    In September, a woman accused Fain of raping her on her graduation night in 2007. The woman provided extensive details about the event and confided in friends and colleagues about it over the past 11 years. Fain has denied the allegations. We believe women and we believe these disturbing allegations should seriously concern every voter in the district.

    Based on her commitment to progressive values and her vision for Washington, Mona Das is the best choice in this race.
