Governor Jay Inslee has been a strong, principled leader on the important challenges facing Washington. Before he was elected as governor in 2012, Inslee represented both sides of the Cascades in Congress, opposed the Iraq war, and worked to increase accountability and oversight for Wall Street banks.
Inslee has established himself as a national leader on fighting climate change. He has invested more than $170 million into clean energy and energy efficiency projects, implemented the Clean Air Rule, and pushed for legislation that reduces pollution in Washington. In his 2020 bid for the presidency, Inslee brought a focus on climate to the race. Outside of his work on climate, Inslee has signed into law Washington's public option for health care, paid family leave, and the Equal Pay Opportunity Act.
Recently, Inslee has been a national leader in fighting the COVID-19 pandemic. His proactive, decisive, science-driven efforts have saved countless Washingtonians from getting sick. Unfortunately, we've seen the flip side recently where states with governors who were slow or failed to act have seen dramatic increases in cases.
Inslee's opponent is Republican Loren Culp, the sole police officer of the town of Republic and one of the farthest right of Inslee's main primary challengers. Culp came to national fame for refusing to enforce the voter-approved Initiative 1639, which placed restrictions on semi-automatic firearm sales. Much of Culp's primary and early general election campaign has centered on opposing public health measures like wearing masks.
Culp's policy track record is disturbing, especially related to the environment. He recently questioned whether the wildfires that have ravaged the region are climate-related. He's compared gun rights to the Holocaust and likened the governor's stay-home policies to the horrors of Japanese internment during WWII. He faces a lawsuit for failing to investigate a child sex abuse case and for intimidating the victim in a case that was swiftly prosecuted after the county stepped in and took over.
As the coronavirus crisis continues and the gap in the state budget persists, we need real, experienced leadership at the helm of the state. Inslee is the clear choice for governor.

Attorney General Bob Ferguson's accomplishments during his two terms in office are impressive. From delivering millions of dollars back to consumers who were wronged by fraudulent corporations to his ongoing battle with the federal government to clean up the Hanford nuclear waste site to successfully fighting two Tim Eyman initiatives, Ferguson has been a strong and effective advocate for the people of Washington. He has sued the Trump administration 80 times as of late September and won all but one completed case. Some of Ferguson's biggest accomplishments from the past few years include safeguarding consumer medical data, protecting statewide water quality from Trump's erosive environmental policies, and fighting back against the Trump administration's child detention laws.
Ferguson faces a challenge from Republican attorney Matt Larkin, who is currently the legal counsel for his family's manufacturing business. Larkin worked in the Bush White House on efforts to direct federal funds to religious charities and is an advocate for a traditional Republican platform. Larkin opposes the vast majority of the lawsuits that Ferguson has filed to hold the Trump administration accountable.
Ferguson is the clear progressive choice for Attorney General of Washington.

Democratic Sen. Jeannie Darneille is running for re-election in the 27th Legislative District. Darneille has been a strong advocate in her 12 years in the House and six years in the Senate, particularly for families who are struggling to make ends meet. She is a champion of women, people with disabilities, formerly incarcerated individuals, health care access, and expanded economic opportunities for all.
This year, Darneille sponsored legislation requiring schools to incorporate curriculum on local tribal history and voted to prohibit discrimination based on citizenship or immigration status. She is running to reform the justice system and spoke out recently on the need for better public health in Washington prisons. If re-elected, Darneille will continue to fight for improved education, increased health care access, and gender and racial parity.
Also in this race is Republican Kyle Paskewitz. Paskewitz is the executive director of Parentalink, a nonprofit organization. He is anti-choice and opposes greater investments in our communities during the economic downturn. Earlier this year, Paskewitz's campaign social media proposed that Washington state should recklessly re-open before it was safe to do so, and he has since promoted anti-mask rhetoric on his personal social media.
Darneille is a strong advocate with the support of a number of progressive organizations. She deserves your vote in this race.

T'wina Nobles is challenging Republican Sen. Steve O'Ban for the 28th Legislative District Senate seat. Nobles is the president and CEO of the Tacoma Urban League, an organization that helps underserved communities navigate difficult economic times. She has worked in education for 15 years as an instructor, the University Place School Board Director, and a PTA leader.
If elected, Nobles wants to increase pay for teachers, reduce class sizes, and work to make schools more inclusive and equitable. She knows more needs to be done to ensure families in the 28th are healthy and safe, which she believes includes gun violence prevention, addiction recovery and mental health resources, and better health care access. Nobles is also running to fix our upside-down tax code and fight for better wages and affordable housing for working people.
Incumbent Sen. O'Ban is a far-right conservative who has previously sued the state to prevent Washingtonians from having access to birth control at some pharmacies. Likewise, he has fought against equality for the LGBTQ+ community, including leading the opposition to marriage equality. At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, O'Ban pushed to re-open the economy long before public health experts said it was safe to do so. This year, he opposed establishing the Washington State Office of Equity and voted against prohibiting discrimination based on citizenship or immigration status.
Nobles is the clear progressive choice and would make a great state senator. In this tight race to unseat a conservative, Nobles deserves your vote.

Jamila Taylor is running for the 30th Legislative District, House Position 1 to succeed Rep. Mike Pellicciotti, who is running for state Treasurer. Taylor is an attorney who advocates for crime victims and has an extensive record of volunteer service. She previously served as the statewide advocacy counsel for the Northwest Justice Project where she managed a network of legal aid attorneys and has worked on youth intervention programs and other violence reduction efforts.
Taylor's progressive campaign platform includes increasing access to affordable housing, reducing the cost of prescription drugs, and improving transparency in government. She supports developing legislation to promote police accountability and address racial inequities in the criminal justice system. Taylor believes in protecting the social safety net as a preventative measure to stem cycles of trauma and poverty.
Taylor is running against Independent Republican Martin Moore. Moore is a Federal Way City Council member and the Executive Director of Audiobook Ministries. Despite running as an Independent to promote "people over politics," Moore has a conservative platform. In particular, he has aligned himself with socially conservative former Sen. Mark Miloscia, who lost his race after years of inflammatory comments about abortion and LGBTQ members of the community.
Jamila Taylor will bring progressive, community-driven solutions to the House. She is the best choice in this race.

Rep. Jesse Johnson is running to retain his seat in 30th Legislative District, House Position 2. Johnson previously served as a member of the Federal Way City Council before being appointed to the Legislature in January. He also works as a staffing analyst in workforce planning and development for Highline Public Schools and has sponsored multiple bills to support at-risk youth.
This year, Johnson sponsored legislation to prohibit race-based hair discrimination and supported gun safety legislation as well as a bill to establish a student loan program for undocumented students. He is running a strong re-election campaign promoting equitable access to quality education for every student, affordability for working families and seniors, and improving services to help homeless and housing-unstable individuals. Johnson wants to prioritize safety and public health as he reaches out to small business leaders in his district about re-opening after the coronavirus pandemic. In June, he stated his interest in developing police reform legislation to increase the accountability of law enforcement.
Johnson faces a challenge from Republican Jack Walsh. Walsh owns an ice cream shop in Federal Way and has twice led advisory vote campaigns to prevent retail marijuana shops from expanding to the city. Walsh falsely and insensitively claims that commercial interests are the victims of the housing crisis, and his proposed solution is to criminalize our neighbors experiencing homelessness and divert funding away from addiction recovery and mental health resources.
Johnson is a strong and effective progressive legislator. He deserves your vote.

Rep. Cindy Ryu is running for re-election in the 32nd Legislative District, House Position 1. Formerly the mayor of Shoreline, Ryu was the first Korean American mayor in the country and the first to serve in the state Legislature. In her position in the House, Ryu has prioritized supporting small businesses, affordable housing, environmental protections, and public schools.
Ryu is the Chair of the Community Development, Housing & Tribal Affairs Committee. In this role, Ryu has supported the development of tiny homes and upzoning in urban areas, as well as proposing a bill to create "housing opportunity zones" near high-quality transit. She has also advocated for reforms to hold law enforcement officers accountable. Unfortunately, Ryu was one of two Democrats who voted against legislation to exempt menstrual products from unnecessary taxation this March. However, Ryu also sponsored legislation prohibiting race-based hair discrimination and requiring the dispossession of forfeited firearms, both of which passed the House.
She is running against Democrat Shirley Sutton. Sutton is a former Lynnwood City Council member backed by the Persist PAC, a group centering the candidacies of Black women for state Legislature. Sutton championed diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts while on the council and received the Snohomish County NAACP Carl Gipson Lifetime Achievement Award last year. Some of her highest campaign priorities include police accountability, incentivizing an environmentally-sustainable economy, and reversing Washington's upside-down tax code.
Ryu stands apart from her progressive opponent because of her legislative experience and support from partner organizations. She is the best choice in this race and deserves your vote.

In this role, Ryu has supported the development of tiny homes and upzoning in urban areas, as well as proposing a bill to create "housing opportunity zones" near high-quality transit. She has also advocated for reforms to hold law enforcement officers accountable. Unfortunately, Ryu was one of two Democrats who voted against legislation to exempt menstrual products from unnecessary taxation this March. However, Ryu also sponsored legislation prohibiting race-based hair discrimination and requiring the dispossession of forfeited firearms, both of which passed the House.
She is running against Democrat Shirley Sutton. Sutton is a former Lynnwood City Council member backed by the Persist PAC, a group centering the candidacies of Black women for state Legislature. Sutton championed diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts while on the council and received the Snohomish County NAACP Carl Gipson Lifetime Achievement Award last year. Some of her highest campaign priorities include police accountability, incentivizing an environmentally-sustainable economy, and reversing Washington's upside-down tax code.
Ryu stands apart from her progressive opponent because of her legislative experience and support from partner organizations. She is the best choice in this race and deserves your vote.
Rep. Mia Gregerson is running for re-election to the 33rd Legislative District, House Position 2. Gregerson is a Democrat with a long record of advocating for transportation in SeaTac, where she has fought for light rail infrastructure, safe and complete streets, and transit-oriented development. Before running for the House position, Gregerson served on the SeaTac City Council.
Gregerson was the prime sponsor of the House version of the Washington Voting Rights Act. This year, she sponsored legislation to prohibit race-based hair discrimination and establish the Washington State Office of Equity. Gregerson wrote an op-ed this May advocating for universal broadband access to provide every Washingtonian with the opportunity to digitally connect during the coronavirus pandemic.
Gregerson is running against Libertarian Marliza Melzer. Despite having a Libertarian policy platform, Melzer espouses very conservative positions. She has consistently used her personal Facebook to promote the idea that the coronavirus pandemic is a hoax perpetrated by Democrats and earlier this year, Melzer called for Washington state to re-open before public health experts deemed it safe to do so.
Rep. Gregerson is a reliable progressive and the best choice in this race. She deserves your vote.

Rep. Noel Frame is running for re-election for the 36th Legislative District, House Position 1. Frame has served the district since 2016 and has put her organizing skills to use as a strong advocate for funding public schools and fixing our state's upside-down tax system. She previously served as the Washington State Director of Progressive Majority, where she worked to recruit and elect progressive candidates from underrepresented communities.
Rep. Frame's re-election platform includes continuing to fight for tax reform, funding our public schools, and creating a more equitable society by removing systemic discrimination and barriers for people of color. Frame has been a strong advocate for juvenile justice reform, supporting Attorney General Bob Ferguson's recent bill to ban solitary confinement as punishment for incarcerated youth. This year, Rep. Frame sponsored legislation to prevent race-based hair discrimination and requiring the state to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
Rep. Frame is running unopposed. In the House, she will continue advancing progressive priorities and has earned your vote.

Rep. Sharon Tomiko Santos is running for re-election to the 37th Legislative District, House Position 1. Tomiko Santos chairs the House Education Committee and serves on the House Capital Budget Committee as well as the Consumer Protection & Business Committee. She is a former banker and a moderate Democrat who has previously voted against transit-oriented development.
This year, Tomiko Santos sponsored legislation prohibiting race-based hair discrimination and supported gun safety as well as establishing the Washington State Office of Equity. Despite being an obstacle in passing similar legislation in past years, she voted in favor of introducing comprehensive, age-appropriate K-12 sex education to Washington schools.
Tomiko Santos supports police accountability, including the demilitarization of police departments and the reappropriation of existing budget towards racial bias training. She is passionate about accessible housing for all and wants to address the particular housing disparities that communities of color face in her district.
Democrat John Stafford is challenging incumbent Rep. Tomiko Santos. Stafford serves on the Executive Board of the 37th District Democrats and his platform includes urgently addressing the climate crisis and reforming our upside-down tax system. Stafford's campaign also emphasizes the need to strengthen public health, address racial injustice, and support economic recovery.
We recommend Rep. Tomiko Santos because she has a strong record in office and the support of all our partner organizations who chose to endorse in this race.

Democrat Kirsten Harris-Talley is the interim director at NARAL Pro-Choice Washington. Previously, she worked at the Progress Alliance of Washington helping raise money for progressive and community organizations across the state. In addition, Harris-Talley briefly served on the Seattle City Council in 2017 after Councilmember Tim Burgess stepped down.
Harris-Talley is running for the 37th Legislative District, House Position 2, to bring her experience in political campaigns, policy writing, and fighting for racial justice to Olympia. In her Fuse interview, she said that most progressive policies in the last decade have come from ballot measures because legislators have not been bold enough, and she wants to fix that. If elected, her top three priorities would be to help people stay in their homes by putting money in their pockets, pushing back against conservative attacks, and raising revenue by balancing our state's upside-down tax code. Finally, Harris-Talley believes too much of the district is still zoned for single-family housing and will push for greater density.

Sen. Lisa Wellman is running for re-election to the Senate from the 41st Legislative District. Prior to running for Legislature, Wellman worked as a public school teacher and in the private sector at a technology company. She now serves on the Washington State Public Works Board, Partners for Rural Washington, and the board of Thrive, which focuses on early childhood education.
Wellman was first elected to the Senate in 2016 where she has since been a champion for reproductive rights, education, and progressive technology policies. This year, Wellman sponsored legislation establishing regulations for facial-recognition technology and requiring schools to incorporate curriculum on local tribal history. She was a lead sponsor on the bill still under consideration in the Senate that would protect all people from warrantless civil immigration arrests at courthouses. Wellman is running for re-election to push for stronger legislative action to combat gun violence and the climate crisis.
Wellman faces a challenge from Republican Mike Nykreim, who does not have a strong campaign presence but has rallied with the Tea Party in support of recklessly re-opening Washington state during the pandemic before public health experts determined it was safe to do so. Nykreim does not offer any concrete policies aside from stating that he will rely on "conservative business pros" to manage the state's economy.
With resounding support from progressive advocates, Wellman is the clear choice in this race.

Rep. My-Linh Thai is running for re-election to the 41st Legislative District, House Position 2. Thai previously served on the Bellevue School Board and was a unifying leader who showed unwavering commitment to providing a high-quality education for every Bellevue student. This year, she sponsored a bill to ensure access to justice by protecting people from warrantless civil immigration arrests at courthouses.
Thai is running on a strong platform that includes reforming our upside-down tax code, building more long-term affordable housing, and investing in clean energy and a green economy. In her next term, Thai hopes to continue her work to make Washington schools more equitable. To face the coronavirus pandemic, Thai believes that achieving widespread, accessible health care is an essential priority, and she voted to establish a public option in Washington last year.
Thai faces a challenge from Republican Al Rosenthal, who is not running a strong campaign. He has staked out some very conservative positions, including supporting defunding Planned Parenthood, opposing marriage equality, and allowing elementary school teachers to carry guns in the classroom.
Thai is the clear progressive choice in this race.

Rep. Debra Entenman is running for re-election to the 47th Legislative District, House Position 1. Before running for office, Entenman served as the District Director for U.S. Representative Adam Smith. She has also been appointed to the Renton Technical College Board of Trustees by Gov. Inslee.
Entenman has had a consistent progressive record throughout her first term, including sponsoring legislation to prohibit race-based hair discrimination. She wants to mitigate the effects of the coronavirus epidemic while addressing the root causes of inequality. Entenman has continually supported legislation that reduces barriers to success for all communities and strengthens the social safety net. In the House, her priorities are health access, economic recovery, equitable education, and data privacy. Entenman spoke out recently on the need for police accountability and reform.
Also in this race is Republican Kyle Lyebyedyev. Lyebyedyev is a member of the King County Republican Party Region 8 Executive Board. His platform includes bringing people from the private sector into classrooms to be teachers, evaluating every individual homeless person to find out "why" they are homeless, and making false accusations about immigrants. Despite the massive public health and economic crises that Washingtonians now face, Lyebyedyev refuses to support efforts to balance Washington's upside-down tax code.
Entenman is the obvious choice in this race and deserves your vote.

Rep. Vandana Slatter is running for re-election to the 48th Legislative District, House Position 1. Prior to running for the Legislature, Slatter was Bellevue's first Indian-American city councilmember. In her role as representative, Slatter has focused on education and equity issues, working on legislation benefiting homeless youth, fully funding schools, and providing health care access.
Slatter has served on the boards of several organizations and nonprofits, including the Children's Institute for Learning Differences, NARAL Pro-Choice Washington, Global Social Business Partners, and the Cancer Center at Overlake Hospital Foundation. Her diverse professional background has made her an effective leader in the House. This year, Rep. Slatter sponsored legislation prohibiting race-based hair discrimination and requiring the state to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, both of which were signed into law.
Slatter is running against Republican Victor Bishop, the former chair of the Eastside Transportation Alliance, a group founded to promote cars and oppose the advancement of Sound Transit. He claims traffic congestion is the "top quality-of-life issue" for voters in the district but is not interested in expanding transportation options. Without experience or a focus on issues beyond traffic congestion, Bishop does not seem to have the qualifications to lead at this critical moment.
As a staunch voice for health care access, Rep. Slatter is needed in the House to shape the state's pandemic response. She deserves your vote in this race.

Incumbent Rep. Monica Jurado Stonier is running for re-election to the 49th Legislative District, House Position 2. Stonier serves as the House Majority Floor Leader and on the House Capital Budget Committee, consistently fighting for progressive priorities.
This year, Stonier worked to ensure the passage of protections for domestic workers and age-appropriate, medically accurate sex education. She was also a sponsor of the Breakfast After the Bell program, which provides meals to low-income students. As the COVID-19 crisis became evident, Stonier sponsored legislation to appropriate funds towards a swift state response. Even before the pandemic, Stonier listed accessible and affordable health care as one of her top priorities alongside addressing the housing and climate crises.
Stonier is running against Park Llafet, a member of the Clark County Republicans. Llafet is involved with the Evergreen School District Foundation and previously ran for the Evergreen Public Schools school board. He wants to focus on reducing taxes at the expense of essential services. When asked about his approach to the state's pandemic response, Llafet insisted that schools must reopen in the fall, citing the state's economic recovery as his priority. On the topic of climate change, Llafet claimed that rising temperatures and environmental degradation follow "natural law," suggesting that the assessment of climate change as an existential threat is "subjective."
Stonier will be a vocal leader for progressive values as our state navigates the pandemic and the economic recovery. She deserves your vote.

As the COVID-19 crisis became evident, Stonier sponsored legislation to appropriate funds towards a swift state response. Even before the pandemic, Stonier listed accessible and affordable health care as one of her top priorities alongside addressing the housing and climate crises.
Stonier is running against Park Llafet, a member of the Clark County Republicans. Llafet is involved with the Evergreen School District Foundation and previously ran for the Evergreen Public Schools school board. He wants to focus on reducing taxes at the expense of essential services. When asked about his approach to the state's pandemic response, Llafet insisted that schools must reopen in the fall, citing the state's economic recovery as his priority. On the topic of climate change, Llafet claimed that rising temperatures and environmental degradation follow "natural law," suggesting that the assessment of climate change as an existential threat is "subjective."
Stonier will be a vocal leader for progressive values as our state navigates the pandemic and the economic recovery. She deserves your vote.
