First elected in 2016, former state Rep. Kristine Reeves is also running for the open 10th Congressional District seat. She is the Director of Economic Development for the Military and Defense sector for Washington state, where she has helped secure millions of dollars for small businesses and local infrastructure. In the Legislature, Reeves has been a champion for paid family and medical leave, gun safety, and making childcare more affordable. She took a more cautious approach than Doglio to several pieces of legislation, including voting against taxing polluters and increasing protections for tenants.
In her Fuse interview, Reeves said her life experience would guide her priorities and decision making in Congress. She is motivated to address affordable housing and homelessness by her experience growing up as a foster child and being homeless herself at times. She supports universal health care and points to her own health care emergency that nearly left her bankrupt as a young adult. Reeves also stated that she is the only leading candidate in the race with foreign policy experience.
If elected, Reeves would be the first Black person elected to Congress from Washington in our state's 131-year history.Kristine Reeves

There are several prominent leaders running to replace Rep. Denny Heck, including state Reps. Beth Doglio and Kristine Reeves. We recommend Doglio because of her strong track record of progressive leadership and support from our Progressive Voters Guide partner organizations.
