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

Senator John McCoy is an environmental champion, strong labor supporter, and the only member of a Native tribe in the Senate. He received much recognition while serving in the House for his defense of the clean energy initiative. In the Senate, McCoy has been on the front lines fighting with special interests who want to roll back Washington's strong environmental protections. McCoy's opponent, conservative Craig French, is not running a credible campaign. McCoy is a strong leader who deserves to be re- elected.Last updated: 2023-04-05

Representative Mike Sells is a progressive leader in the Legislature, serving as the Chair of the Labor and Workforce Development Committee. Sells is a former teacher and labor leader who used this position to create legislation dedicated to improving higher education as well as leading the efforts to bring a nursing program to Everett Community College University Center. His opponent, Libertarian Eli Olson, is more interested in pushing his party's platform than representing the 38th district. Sells is by far the best candidate for this race.Last updated: 2023-04-05

Charles Jensen is a Sedro-Woolley teacher and 12-year veteran of the U.S. Air Force and Washington National Guard who is challenging Tea Party first term legislator Elizabeth Scott. Jensen wants to encourage sustainable job growth, strengthen education, improve the area's transportation network, and protect the environment. Jensen is running because he believes Scott's record does not represent the district. Scott voted against making spousal rape a felony and also voted against aerospace training and research that the 39th LD relies upon for jobs. Scott was also strongly criticized this year for using the tragedy in Oso to promote her own personal agenda of attacking emergency responders. Jensen would be a far better candidate for this district.Last updated: 2023-04-05

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
