John Lovick is the current Snohomish County Executive, running to retain his recent appointment to the position following the resignation of previous County Executive, Aaron Reardon. Lovick spent nine years in the state legislature representing the 44th District, during five of which he was Speaker Pro-Tem. He was elected as the Snohomish County Sheriff in 2007 and successfully merged the County Jail with the Sheriff’s Office. Two people are challenging Lovick. His Democratic challenger, James R. Deal, is not running a credible campaign. Republican Carolyn Eslick is the current Mayor of Sultan. She is critical of Seattle’s $15 minimum wage and intends to entice Seattle businesses into Snohomish to avoid paying higher wages. Whoever wins the Executive position in the General Election will be up for reelection again in 2015, when a candidate will be elected to a full four-year term. While Lovick angered many progressives with his vocal support of the new Boeing contract, he is still the best choice in this race.Last updated: 2023-04-05

Suzan DelBene won a tough race in 2012 to represent the 1st Congressional District, which reaches from Kirkland to the Canadian border. A former executive at Microsoft and other technology companies, she has used her technology background to become a leader of protecting privacy rights against government surveillance. She has also been a strong advocate for job development, economic fairness, women’s health, and immigration reform. DelBene’s top challenger is Pedro Celis, a Republican and retired Microsoft engineer who was a leader for the George W. Bush re-election effort in 2004. Celis recently earned national attention by making unfortunate comments comparing gay marriage to polygamy. Edwin Moats, Robert Sutherland, and several other extremely conservative candidates in this race are not running competitive campaigns. DelBene’s experience and strong track record in her first term make her the clear choice in this race.Last updated: 2023-04-05

Rep. Rick Larsen is a moderate, pragmatic Democrat who has been a strong advocate for jobs, transportation, and infrastructure projects in the 2nd District since he was first elected to Congress in 2000. He has also led efforts to protect voting rights, fought to reform student loans, and has been a champion of Wall Street reform. Unfortunately, Larsen angered many progressives with his support of the new contract that eliminated hard-earned pension benefits for Boeing machinists. Before serving in Congress he served on the Snohomish County Council and worked on economic development for City of Everett.
Larsen is facing two opponents who have far less resources in the primary. BJ Guillot is running on an extremely conservative Tea Party platform. Independent Mike Lapointe is running against Larsen on a very progressive platform that includes raising the minimum wage to $15 per hour immediately. Larsen’s experience, broad support, and generally progressive track record make him a good choice in this race.Last updated: 2023-04-05Rick Larsen

Jason Ritchie is a rising star who is running an energetic campaign to defeat incumbent Dave Reichert. Ritchie started a business remodeling homes for the disabled after his father had a stroke and suffered from limited mobility. With a strong commitment to progressive values on issues such as immigration reform, protecting safe and legal access to abortion, and fully funding education, Ritchie would be a welcome change to the district.
Conservative Republican Dave Reichert has yet to sponsor one piece of legislation that has been passed into law and is an ineffective representative for the district. Ritchie deserves your vote.Last updated: 2023-04-05Jason Ritchie

Maralyn Chase has been a longtime advocate for progressive causes. She has the backing of labor, environmental advocates, pro-choice groups, and the social justice community. Her opponents are Democratic Shoreline City Councilman Chris Eggen and Republican Robert Reedy, who has previously lost campaigns for state representative, Snohomish County Council, and Mountlake Terrace City Council. Much of the district is new since Chase won election in 2010 due to redistricting. Eggen says he is running because the district needs leadership that not only stands for progressive values but that can build consensus and get results on issues important to its residents. As a Shoreline Councilman, he has advocated for sustainable budgets that protect services for the vulnerable and protected parks and open spaces. However, Chase has earned the support of progressive groups and deserves your vote.Last updated: 2023-04-05

He was elected as the Snohomish County Sheriff in 2007 and successfully merged the County Jail with the Sheriff’s Office. Two people are challenging Lovick. His Democratic challenger, James R. Deal, is not running a credible campaign. Republican Carolyn Eslick is the current Mayor of Sultan. She is critical of Seattle’s $15 minimum wage and intends to entice Seattle businesses into Snohomish to avoid paying higher wages. Whoever wins the Executive position in the General Election will be up for reelection again in 2015, when a candidate will be elected to a full four-year term. While Lovick angered many progressives with his vocal support of the new Boeing contract, he is still the best choice in this race.Last updated: 2023-04-05
