Democrat Angie Girard is challenging Republican incumbent Amanda McKinney for Yakima County commissioner in District 1. Girard made it onto the November ballot from a successful write-in campaign during the August primary.
Girard has spent more than a decade working in accreditation for the Pacific Northwest University of Health Sciences. She is running on a community-focused platform in this race to invest in health, safety, sustainability, and affordability in the county. She wants to work with the Board of Health to make sure that public health policy is science-based and address the housing crisis so that all Yakima residents can access a roof over their heads. Girard also wants to ensure that Yakima County has clean water and wants to build up renewable energy in the county to create high-paying jobs and a sustainable future.
Incumbent commissioner McKinney is running for another term representing District 1. Previously, she spent two decades in banking. Now, she is running to bring conservative values to the Board of Commissioners and to cut funding that supports community services and public infrastructure.
Angie Girard is the best choice in this race and deserves your vote to serve District 1 as a Yakima County commissioner.Last updated: 2023-04-05Angie Girard

Advisory Vote 39
This spring, Democrats in Olympia passed Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill 5974, which included a small increase in aircraft fuel taxes. This change would raise an estimated $14 million in public revenue and help our state achieve its climate goals.
This bill was sponsored by some of Washington’s most progressive lawmakers and passed with a clear majority in the session. The legislation will help our state create a sustainable future where generations can thrive with clean air and water.
Vote “Maintained” on State Advisory Vote 39.
Because of a Tim Eyman initiative, the Legislature is required to submit any bill it passes that closes tax loopholes or raises revenue to a non-binding advisory vote. The Legislature had a historically productive 2022 session, resulting in several advisory votes appearing on the ballot. We hope the Legislature will change the law to remove these meaningless measures in the future.
