Welcome to the Fuse Progressive Voters Guide to the 2025 Primary election! Since 2008, we've compiled information about candidates and ballot measures that allows you to make informed decisions about the races on your ballot, based on your values. You can learn about our partners and decision-making process here. We will continue to add additional recommendations until voting begins on July 16.

North Kitsap School Board

Debra Strawhun is a long-time educator, working as a speech-language pathologist in public schools. Throughout her career, she has held numerous positions in the district. She is running to give back to the community that gave so much to her and her family.

Strawhun expressed concern about the current administration's attacks on public education, particularly the budget, book bans, and the erosion of the separation of church and state. Being an educator in the district, she is familiar with the increasing mental health and behavioral challenges facing students. If elected, she hopes to address the teacher shortage in the district, ensuring reasonable class sizes and workloads as well as adequate compensation.

In her interview with the League of Women Voters, she supported reintroducing a bond proposal in 2026 to fix the aging infrastructure of several schools in the district. Strawhun also expressed support for trauma-informed training to help students experiencing bullying and/or emotional difficulties. When asked about reaching marginalized families in her community, she encouraged community celebrations and printing district materials in multiple languages to further connect with the community.

Although we lean towards voting for Dr. Leighton Thomas in this race, we do appreciate Debra Strawhun's campaign and decades of educational experience.
