King County Councilmember and former legislator Joe McDermott is also running for this seat. McDermott, who has no relation to retiring Rep. Jim McDermott, has been a strong advocate for transit, marriage equality, gun violence prevention, and other issues. He has pledged to reject any independent expenditure money in his campaign and says he is running to end the special interest dominance in politics.
Also in this race are Democrats Arun Jhaveri and Don Rivers, Independents Leslie Regier and Carl Cooper, and Republican Scott Sutherland.
The voters of the 7th Congressional District are lucky to have a strong slate of progressive candidates to choose from. We recommend Jayapal in this race.
