Lindsey Keesling is running to fill the Senate seat left vacant by Sen. Jim Honeyford in the 15th Legislative District. Keesling did not appear on the primary ballot but advanced to the general after a successful write-in campaign to challenge Republican Nikki Torres. She has held a number of community positions, including working as a middle school teacher, a homeless shelter site supervisor, and a residential aide in a mental health facility. Now, she is an adjunct professor at Heritage University and a teacher in the Wapato School District.
Keesling is running on a platform to make sure that the district can access the resources it needs to provide residents with quality schools, upgraded infrastructure, affordable housing, accessible health care, employment opportunities, and other public services.
Republican Pasco City Council member Nikki Torres is also in this race. Outside of public office, Torres works in strategic partner management for Western Governors University and previously served the Tri-Cities Hispanic Chamber of Commerce as president. She is campaigning on a typical Republican platform to eliminate funding for key community investments in schools, roads, housing, and parks while increasing budgets to militarize and expand police forces.

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.
