    Judy Arbogast

  • Judy Arbogast is a longtime education advocate who spent decades as a teacher at the South Kitsap School District. She promises to fight for education funding and help fix the dysfunction of the Senate, such as her opponent Sen. Jan Angel's attempt to kill funding for homelessness housing. Unfortunately, Angel has done more to help the corporate donors that fund her campaign than the people of the 26th District. Arbogast would be a much better choice to represent the district.

  • Derek Kilmer is a moderate Democrat who is a reliable supporter of creating jobs and improving infrastructure. He has been a leader on small business development and protecting Puget Sound during his first term. A former State Senator, he worked as a business consultant and economic development official before becoming a legislator. Kilmer is being challenged by conservative Republican Marty McClendon, whom he soundly defeated in a 2010 state Senate race, and Green Party candidate Douglas Milholland. Milholland is running on a campaign of environmentalism and nonviolence. Kilmer’s experience and ability to work across the aisle on behalf of the district make him the best choice in this race.

  • Nathan Schlicher is a doctor, a leader of government transparency, and was an effective champion of the 26th while serving his appointment in the Senate in 2013. As an emergency room doctor and an attorney, Schlicher is particularly well-qualified to expand access to health care and fight for healthier communities. Schlicher will focus on creating jobs, supporting mental health services, and increasing government transparency, particularly in the budget. Schlicher serves on several boards dedicated to advocacy for patient health and is also active in the Gig Harbor United Methodist Church. One of his two Republican opponents, Bill Scheidler, is not running an effective campaign. Republican Jesse Young was appointed to the seat earlier this year after Jan Angel won the Senate seat. In his first year in office, Young voted against funding for improvements for the Bremerton ferry terminal and important repairs to six ferries that serve the 26th District. Schlicher is the best choice to represent the 26th District.

  • Representative Larry Seaquist is a moderate Democrat who chairs the Higher Education Committee. Seaquist has passed significant reforms through bipartisian compromises, including preventing some cuts to higher education, sponsoring Apple Health Care for Kids, and reducing property taxes for low-income seniors. His opponent, Republican Michelle Caldier, is a political newcomer, foster mom and dentist who advocated for Medicaid funding for low-income dental patients. However, she has refused to support the funding necessary to help our schools and move our state forward. Seaquist is the best choice in this race.
