Congress

Depending on where you live, you may have one of the below congressional districts on your ballot.

  • Representative Suzan DelBene has served the 1st Congressional District since 2013. DelBene is a former executive at Microsoft who has used her technology background to become a leader in protecting privacy rights against government surveillance. Her priorities include creating family wage jobs in the aerospace, sustainable agriculture, and clean energy industries. She also supports raising the federal minimum wage and passing comprehensive tax reform to ensure that those making more than a million dollars a year don't pay a lower tax rate than low and middle-income families.

    Rep. DelBene is running against Republican Jeffrey Beeler. Beeler is a Sultan city councilmember focused on "securing our borders," health care, and the deficit. However, he lacks Rep. DelBene's knowledge and experience with the important policies that impact working families in the 1st District.

    Rep. DelBene is clearly the best choice in this race.

She founded OneAmerica (formerly Hate Free Zone) in 2001 and built it into a national model and the largest immigrant rights organization in the state. Rep. Jayapal also played a key role on the Mayoral Advisory Committee that created Seattle’s $15 minimum wage.

    In her first term in Congress, Rep. Jayapal has fought the Trump administration at every turn and provided a voice for progressives across the country.

She has also fought back against the Trump administration's inhumane policy of separating families seeking asylum and she introduced legislation that paves a pathway towards a universal health care system.

    Her opponent, Seattle resident Craig Keller, is best known as the founder of an anti-immigrant organization that tried to repeal the City of Burien's sanctuary city ordinance. His organization has been recognized by the Southern Poverty Law Center as a hate group.

  • Representative Adam Smith has been a reliable vote in Congress on progressive issues from taxation to immigration reform. He represents Washington's first majority-minority district, a community with 30 percent foreign-born residents and large Asian, Hispanic, and African-American communities. Rep. Smith is an advocate for greater equality, supports a path to citizenship for immigrants, reforming the tax code, and Medicare for All. Rep. Smith has used his position on the Armed Services Committee to introduce and support legislation that tempers Trump's belligerent foreign policy moves, including a bill that states the U.S. will not strike a country with nuclear weapons first.

    Rep. Smith is running against Democrat Sarah Smith, who is challenging Rep. Smith from the left. She's running on a comprehensive progressive platform including Medicare for All, alleviating student loan debt, supporting a nationwide tenants’ bill of rights, and building 10 million social homes. Sarah Smith is highly critical of Rep. Smith’s votes in favor of the Iraq War and the Patriot Act. However, during her interview with Fuse staff, she failed to produce a robust and detailed plan for how she would implement the sweeping reforms she supports, politically and economically.

  • Democratic Representative Timm Ormsby is running for re-election to the 3rd Legislative District House Position 2. An active member of the Spokane community, Rep. Ormsby is the current president of the Spokane Regional Labor Council and a former board member of the United Way of Spokane County. Since joining the Legislature, Rep. Ormsby has helped write and pass bills to bring good jobs to Spokane, protect the environment, and preserve critical health care services. Rep.

Lucas is running on a “tough on crime” platform that refuses to acknowledge the state's regressive tax code, which has earned him the support of the most conservative members of the Republican party, including Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers. Rep. Ormsby has earned your vote.

  • Democratic Representative Mia Su-Ling Gregerson has long been a transportation advocate for South King County, where she has fought for light rail infrastructure, safe and complete streets, and transit-oriented development. She wrote two important pieces of legislation to hold corporations accountable. One would have closed a tax loophole for oil companies and invested the money saved into K-12 education, and another held companies accountable for maintaining local jobs if they received a state tax break. This year, Rep. Gregerson was the prime sponsor of the House version of the Washington Voting Rights Act to improve local representation.

    Rep. Gregerson is running against Anthony Lamb, who wants to reduce business taxes, supports charter schools, and is campaigning to make Good Friday a state holiday. Rep. Gregerson is the best choice in this race.

  • Democratic Representative Noel Frame has put her organizing skills to use as a strong advocate for funding public schools and fixing our state's regressive tax system. Previously, Rep. Frame served as the Washington State Director of Progressive Majority, where she worked to recruit and elect progressive candidates from underrepresented communities, including young people, women, people of color, and openly gay candidates. Rep. Frame has worked on legislation for sexual assault survivors and is dedicated to improving the lives of people of color, the LGBTQ community, and the disabled community by bringing an equity lens into her work on climate justice, reproductive freedom, and voter access.

    She is running against Libertarian Sydney Gillman Wissel, whose platform is vaguely populist. Wissel has little political experience and hasn't advocated for many specifics in her campaign. For example, she says a balanced budget and climate action are necessary but doesn't offer any solutions.

  • Incumbent Democratic state Senator John McCoy has been an environmental champion and strong supporter of working people. Prior to joining the Legislature, Sen. McCoy was in the United States Air Force for 20 years and returned to Washington to bring computer education to the Tulalip Tribes. In the Senate, Sen. McCoy has been on the front lines fighting against special interests who want to roll back Washington's strong environmental protections. Moving forward, Sen. McCoy is focused on bringing internet access to rural communities, supporting local businesses, and increasing mental health services available to K-12 students.

  • Supreme Court Justice Steve Gonzalez has earned national recognition for his judicial expertise and work to increase access to the judicial system. Before serving on the Supreme Court, Justice Gonzalez served as an Assistant U.S. Attorney and on the King County Superior Court for more than 10 years hearing criminal, juvenile, and family law cases. Justice Gonzalez is devoted to working for the people of Washington and serves as a board member for the Washington Leadership Institute, an organization that supports emerging community leaders from diverse backgrounds. As one of the few multi-lingual justices, he chairs the Interpreter Commission. Justice Gonzalez is rated "Exceptionally Well Qualified" by 10 independent bar associations in Washington state.

    Gonzalez is being challenged by Bellevue-based attorney Nathan Choi, who ran unsuccessfully for a judicial seat on the Court of Appeals in 2016. Since then, Choi has faced numerous ethical controversies. In 2017, the King County Bar Association formally reprimanded Choi for violating KCBA's fair campaign practices guidelines by releasing misleading campaign materials and failing to follow state candidate rules. In February of this year, Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson formally filed a lawsuit against Nathan Choi in a Thurston County Court. The case is still open.
