    Democrat

    Bob Dingethal

    Website Facebook Endorsements
  • Bob Dingethal is running for Congress because he supports a stronger middle class, equal pay for equal work, and investments in education, infrastructure, and good jobs here in the United States. Dingethal would bring more than 35 years of experience in the public, private and non-profit sector with him to Congress.

    Dingethal faces a tough race against incumbent Jaime Herrera Beutler, an extremely conservative Republican. She has consistently sided with some of the most conservative members of her party on issues like health care, environmental protection, immigration reform, economic fairness. Far right Republican Michael Delavar is also challenging Herrera Beutler. Dingethal is the best choice in this race.

20th Legislative District

State Representative, Position #1

  • Michael Savoca photo
    Democrat

    Michael Savoca

    Website
  • Michael Savoca is focused on getting money out of politics and reducing the influence of corporations over our political system. He also wants to reform our state's tax system to make it more progressive and provide enough funding for our schools. He is challenging conservative Republican Richard DeBolt, who has been an obstacle to progress in the state House. Savoca faces an uphill fight in this conservative district that is made more difficult because he's not accepting campaign contributions of more than $5.

County Races

Depending on where you live, you may have the below county races on your ballot.

Lewis County

Lewis County Auditor

  • Jenifer Slemp photo
    Democrat

    Jenifer Slemp

    Website Facebook
  • Jenifer Slemp is hoping to take the seat of Gary Zandell, who is in his seventh and final term. She is currently on the Napavine City Council. Her vision for the position of Auditor includes advancing technology in the departments of records and licensing, thereby allowing citizens greater online access to records. Her opponent is Republican Larry Grove. His website states that his duties as CFO limit the time he can devote to “traditional campaign activities;” this has manifested itself in a campaign that publicizes few solutions. Jenifer Slemp is running a more articulate campaign and is the better choice in this race.

Thurston County Commissioner, District #3

  • Karen Valenzuela photo
    Democrat

    Karen Valenzuela

  • Incumbent Karen Valenzuela is a progressive Democrat. She has been endorsed by the National Women's Political Caucus, among others. Valenzuela has clear goals in mind for increasing sustainability in Thurston. Unfortunately, she has moved to privatize the custodial staff of the court house, a blow to local labor unions. Valenzuela's opponent, Independent Bud Blake, condemns the contracting of the custodial positions on his website and calls for the workers to be rehired. A great deal of Blake's focus is on the ARC jail, which is being underused and costing millions in tax money to keep open. However, Blake also has the backing of many local Republicans. We think Valenzuela is the better choice in this race.
