    Mary Robnett

  • Incumbent Pierce County prosecutor Mary Robnett is running unopposed for re-election. Robnett was first elected to the role in 2018 but has spent a combined total of 28 years in the county office and attorney general’s office. Before that, she worked in emergency dispatch. Now, she serves as board president of the Sexual Assault Center of Pierce County.

    Robnett is running to continue putting her experience to use to make Pierce County a safer place for everyone despite the effects of the opioid epidemic and a rise in felony cases. Though she is a nonpartisan candidate with support from both sides of the aisle and a more moderate platform, she has earned endorsements from a number of local Democratic organizations in this race.

    Mary Robnett is a fair and committed public servant who will bring nonpartisan leadership as the Pierce County prosecuting attorney. She deserves your vote for another term.

    Vote Mantenido por un futuro climático sostenible

  • Esta primavera, los demócratas en Olympia aprobaron el Proyecto de Ley Sustituto Ampliado del Senado 5974, que incluía un pequeño aumento en los impuestos al combustible de los aviones.

    Este proyecto de ley fue patrocinado por algunos de los legisladores más progresistas de Washington y aprobado con una clara mayoría en la sesión. La legislación ayudará a nuestro estado a crear un futuro sostenible donde las generaciones puedan prosperar con aire y agua limpios.

    Vote Mantenido para las protecciones de los trabajadores de viajes compartidos

  • En la última sesión, los legisladores aprobaron el Proyecto de Ley Sustituto Ampliado de la Cámara de Representantes 2076 que aumenta las protecciones y los derechos de los trabajadores para los conductores de viajes compartidos. 

    La legislación, que tuvo apoyo bipartidista, requiere que las compañías de viajes compartidos paguen a sus conductores una cantidad mínima por viaje, ofrezcan licencia por enfermedad pagada y otorguen beneficios de compensación. Es un paso positivo en la dirección de proteger los derechos de los trabajadores en la creciente economía del trabajo ocasional para que todos podamos pagar lo básico, ser tratados de manera justa en nuestro lugar de trabajo y tener la oportunidad de tener éxito.

  • Apoyadas Por The Stranger
  • La senadora Patty Murray ha sido una voz progresista consistente y fuerte en el Senado de los Estados Unidos. Ella está buscando la reelección para continuar luchando por nuestros derechos básicos y una mejor calidad de vida en Washington y más allá. 
     
    Murray fue elegida por primera vez en 1992 y ha sido una defensora de los veteranos, las familias trabajadoras, las mujeres y las oportunidades económicas para todos. Antes de su permanencia en el Senado, Murray trabajó como maestra de preescolar, en la Junta Escolar de Shoreline y en el Senado del estado de Washington.
     
    Durante su tiempo en el Congreso, la Senadora Murray ha trabajado arduamente para mantener a nuestras comunidades a salvo de la violencia armada, proteger el acceso al aborto a nivel federal para que todos tengan libertad reproductiva y ampliar el acceso al cuidado infantil asequible. Este año, votó a favor de la Ley de Protección de la Salud de la Mujer, la Ley de Libertad de Voto y una lista de otros proyectos de ley progresistas que invierten en comunidades trabajadoras para que nuestro país sea un lugar donde todos puedan prosperar. Murray se ha ganado una impresionante y diversa coalición de respaldos de organizaciones locales y nacionales, líderes electos y sindicatos.
     
    La senadora Murray se enfrenta a Tiffany Smiley, una enfermera de triaje que se postula en una plataforma republicana de MAGA. Smiley nunca ha ocupado un cargo público, pero anteriormente trabajó en Capitol Hill. Su agenda inspirada en Trump apunta a dividirnos mientras busca recortar los fondos de nuestros servicios más esenciales y reutilizarlos para un muro fronterizo innecesario y fuerzas policiales más militarizadas. Los trabajadores de Washington necesitan soluciones reales para que podamos acceder a lo básico como gasolina, comestibles, alquiler y medicamentos recetados, no a la retórica MAGA y las exenciones fiscales para los ricos.
     
    La senadora Patty Murray es una líder nacional en muchos de los problemas más importantes que enfrenta nuestro país. Ella se ha ganado su voto para la reelección.

Congreso

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

  • El representante Derek Kilmer se postula para la reelección en el 6º Distrito Congresal. Es un demócrata moderado que es un partidario confiable de la creación de empleos, la mejora de la infraestructura, el desarrollo de las pequeñas empresas, la expansión del acceso al cuidado de salud, la reforma del financiamiento de campañas y la protección de Puget Sound.

    Durante su tiempo en el cargo este último período, votó tanto por el proyecto de ley de infraestructura bipartidista como por Build Back Better, la amplia legislación del presidente Biden para financiar la energía limpia, los créditos fiscales por hijos y otras prioridades progresistas. También escribió la Ley de Tiny Houses para Veteranos de 2021, que establecería un programa piloto dentro del Departamento de Asuntos de Veteranos para construir aldeas de “tiny houses” para veteranos sin hogar. Ahora, Kilmer se postula para la reelección para continuar ayudando a las familias de clase media, creando empleos con salarios dignos y apoyando a las pequeñas empresas que se vieron afectadas por la pandemia. Apoyó la Ley de Protección de la Salud de la Mujer y se comprometió a seguir luchando para codificar los derechos al aborto en la ley federal. 

    También en esta elección está la ex investigadora de educación Elizabeth Kreiselmaier. Ella se postula en una plataforma republicana de MAGA que prioriza el desmantelamiento de la Ley de Cuidado de Salud a Bajo Precio en medio de una pandemia global, la desfinanciación de Planned Parenthood y la eliminación del acceso equitativo a la educación mediante la privatización de nuestras escuelas. Kreiselmaier ha promovido muchas teorías de conspiración de extrema derecha, incluidas las que buscan anular la voluntad de los votantes en las elecciones de 2020 para instalar a Trump de nuevo en el poder. 

    Kilmer es la opción clara en esta elección para continuar trayendo un liderazgo estable arraigado en el distrito durante estos tiempos tumultuosos.

  • La Dra. Kim Schrier busca la reelección para su escaño en la Cámara de Representantes de los Estados Unidos que representa al 8º Distrito Congresal de Washington. Antes de servir dos términos en el Congreso, trabajó como pediatra y dirigió un consultorio pediátrico local en Issaquah cuidando a niños y familias en toda la región. 
     
    Schrier ha aportado constantemente su experiencia profesional en salud y sus valores impulsados por la comunidad al Congreso. A diferencia de su oponente republicano, Schrier apoyaría una ley federal que proteja la libertad reproductiva para todos los estadounidenses. Este término, Schrier apoyó el proyecto de ley de infraestructura bipartidista que proporcionará fondos esenciales para mejorar las carreteras y puentes locales, así como $19 millones de dólares para proyectos de seguridad peatonal solo en el Distrito 8. También votó a favor de Build Back Better, que habría proporcionado fondos para la educación temprana, extendido el crédito fiscal por hijos, reducido el costo del cuidado infantil y combatido el cambio climático. Si es reelegida, Schrier quiere priorizar las necesidades cotidianas de las familias trabajadoras, así como ser una agente de cambio convincente en temas de salud pública como recetas asequibles, prevención de la violencia armada, aire limpio y acceso a alimentos saludables. 
     
    Schrier se enfrenta al republicano partidario de Trump Matt Larkin, uno de los candidatos de más extrema derecha en la boleta electoral en Washington este año. Es uno de los candidatos más firmemente antiaborto que pide una legislación federal para prohibir los abortos en todo el país, e incluso se opone a ciertos anticonceptivos y opciones de Plan B. Larkin se postula en una plataforma republicana de Trump que descuida a los miembros de nuestra comunidad que enfrentan más dificultades. Larkin también se une a algunos de los candidatos de extrema derecha en su negativa a reconocer que Joe Biden ganó las elecciones presidenciales de 2020, ignorando la voluntad del pueblo. 
     
    Schrier ha sido una miembro destacada del Congreso que trabaja a través de las líneas del partido para lograr resultados para su distrito. Ella se ha ganado su voto para la reelección.

  • La representante Marilyn Strickland busca la reelección para el Distrito 10 de Washington en la Cámara de Representantes. Strickland anteriormente se desempeñó como alcaldesa de Tacoma y en el consejo de la ciudad antes de unirse al Congreso en 2021, cuando se convirtió en la primera representante americana afroamericana y coreana de Washington. También dirigió anteriormente la Cámara de Comercio Metropolitana de Seattle y Pierce Transit.

    En sus años sirviendo al público, Strickland ha sido una defensora de los trabajadores en Washington y más allá. Ha trabajado para reducir el costo de los medicamentos recetados, recuperar el seguro social y los beneficios de los veteranos, y hacer que las corporaciones paguen su parte. Strickland también abogó por fuertes inversiones en infraestructura pública como agua limpia, banda ancha, carreteras y parques. Si es reelegida, continuará luchando por la libertad reproductiva, el cuidado de salud accesible, la vivienda estable y el derecho al voto. 

    Keith Swank es un oficial de policía y miembro de SWAT que se unió a esta elección con una plataforma republicana de MAGA para deshacer el progreso que la representante Strickland ha logrado. Swank está avivando el miedo al prometer que nuestras comunidades serán más seguras si simplemente ponemos a más personas en nuestras prisiones superpobladas y enviamos más fuerzas policiales militarizadas a nuestros vecindarios. Al mismo tiempo, quiere oponerse a las inversiones en cuidado de salud asequible, alimentos y gas, renta y educación que realmente hacen que nuestras comunidades sean más seguras para favorecer a las corporaciones ricas. En esta campaña, ha criticado el nombramiento de la jueza del Tribunal Supremo Ketanji Brown Jackson, repitió las teorías de conspiración de Trump y defendió la industria de los combustibles fósiles que continúa priorizando las ganancias por encima de la salud de nuestro planeta y nuestras familias.

  • El demócrata Steve Hobbs se postula para retener su puesto como Secretario de Estado por el resto del mandato de dos años. Es un estadounidense de origen japonés de primera generación y miembro del ejército durante 30 años, sirviendo en giras en Kosovo e Irak antes de convertirse en teniente coronel en la Guardia Nacional del Ejército de Washington.
     
    Hobbs fue nombrado Secretario de Estado en noviembre del año pasado después de que Kim Wyman renunciara para unirse a la Administración Biden. Antes de su nombramiento, sirvió cuatro términos en el Senado del estado de Washington representando al Distrito Legislativo 44. Su historial de votos fue consistentemente progresista en temas sociales y se inclinó a más conservador en impuestos y derechos de los trabajadores. 
     
    Durante sus primeros 8 meses en el cargo, Hobbs se ha centrado en proteger nuestros sistemas electorales de los ataques. Ha utilizado su experiencia en seguridad nacional para asociarse estrechamente con el Departamento de Seguridad Nacional para detener las amenazas digitales a nuestros sistemas de votación, tanto extranjeros como nacionales. Hobbs también entiende el desafío que la desinformación plantea a la integridad de nuestras elecciones. Ha estado trabajando para establecer una división dentro de su oficina específicamente para combatir la desinformación y quiere trabajar en estrecha colaboración con las compañías de redes sociales para asegurarse de que eliminen las peligrosas teorías de conspiración. 
     
    A medida que la pandemia disminuye, Hobbs se compromete a reiniciar el programa de alcance electoral de su oficina. Está muy entusiasmado con un programa de mensajería confiable que está lanzando para utilizar a los líderes de la comunidad para hablar sobre la importancia de votar. También quiere mejorar el alcance para reducir las disparidades raciales en las boletas rechazadas debido a los desajustes de firmas. 
     
    El único tema de preocupación con Hobbs es su oposición personal a la votación por orden de preferencia. Durante nuestra entrevista, compartió que le preocupa implementar un nuevo y complicado sistema de votación en un momento de baja confianza en nuestras elecciones. Además, le preocupa que los votantes como su madre, que habla inglés como segundo idioma, tengan dificultades para aprender y participar en el nuevo sistema. Los expertos han reiterado que la votación por orden de preferencia es simple para todos los votantes y se ha utilizado con éxito en las boletas en varios idiomas. 
     
    Hobbs argumentó de forma convincente que el secretario de Estado debe adaptarse a los nuevos y complejos desafíos de organizar elecciones modernas. Hobbs es una buena opción si está buscando a alguien con amplios respaldos demócratas y con experiencia en seguridad nacional para salvaguardar y reconstruir la confianza en nuestro sistema electoral.

  • La auditora del condado de Pierce, Julie Anderson, se postula como independiente para llevar una voz no partidista a la oficina del secretario de estado. Anderson sirvió en el Consejo Municipal de Tacoma antes de postularse para auditora del condado en 2009 y ganar la reelección tres veces. Como auditora del condado de Pierce, que es un puesto no partidista, ha administrado docenas de elecciones al tiempo que supervisa la concesión de licencias y el mantenimiento de registros públicos. 
     
    Anderson se postula porque cree que los partidos políticos no deberían participar en la realización de elecciones que simultáneamente están tratando de ganar. Sus prioridades de campaña incluyen apoyar que más elecciones locales se conviertan en no partidistas, aumentar el acceso a la información electoral y de votación, y mejorar la seguridad electoral. Quiere traducir el folleto de los votantes a 10 idiomas, yendo más allá de lo que exige la Ley de Derechos Electorales. También quiere llevar a cabo auditorías que limiten el riesgo en los 39 condados de Washington y desmentir rumores para aumentar la confianza en los sistemas electorales de nuestro estado. 
     
    Durante nuestra entrevista, Anderson expresó su apoyo a la votación por orden de preferencia porque cree que permitirá a los candidatos romper nuestro sistema político bipartidista. Este es uno de los mayores puntos de diferencia entre Anderson y Hobbs.

  • Jamie Smith is challenging conservative Rep. Kelly Chambers for Position 1 in the 25th Legislative District. Smith is an executive board member and former teacher’s union representative for the Puyallup Education Association and has spent almost two decades as a teacher in local high schools. She is also a running coach in the school district and a regional curriculum trainer.

    Smith is running to counter conservative rhetoric that divides our district and to increase the quality of life for everyone. Her campaign priorities include tackling the housing crisis, investing in students and education, helping Washingtonians access the health care they need, upgrading transit and public infrastructure, and protecting our environment. In this race, Smith has earned the endorsements of progressive leaders, local unions, and community organizations.

    Chambers was first elected to the Legislature in 2018 and owns a vineyard outside of her legislative work. She has been endorsed by far-right extremists in past races and was a staunch opponent of commonsense safety measures during the height of the pandemic. This year, she voted against legislation to protect our communities from gun violence, including opposing a bill to prohibit guns at election offices.

    Residents in the 25th Legislative District deserve a representative who will invest in public needs and respect community health. We recommend Jamie Smith to represent the 25th Legislative District in Position 1.

  • Cameron Severns advanced from the primary election as a Democratic write-in candidate challenging Republican Rep. Cyndy Jacobsen in the 25th Legislative District. Severns works in financial advising and real estate and he serves as a board member at South Hill Church, where he also leads an addiction-recovery ministry.

    Severns is running on a more moderate platform that emphasizes the values of problem solving and bringing the district together. If elected, he wants to fight for reproductive freedom, renters protections and legislation to keep people housed, and a community response to public safety. He promises to engage diverse community stakeholders and foster mutual respect in order to create a higher quality of life in the 25th Legislative District.

    Rep. Jacobsen joined the Legislature in 2021 after serving on the Puyallup City Council and teaching at Pierce College Puyallup Campus. She is running on a conservative platform opposing basic freedoms such as marriage equality and access to reproductive health care. Jacobsen advocates for “biblical citizenship” based on her church’s far-right views. This session, she voted against a slate of progressive bills such as new gun safety measures and environmental protections.

    Cameron Severns is the best choice in this race for 25th Legislative District, Position 2.

  • Emily Randall es una de las defensoras más firmes de la Legislatura para ampliar el acceso al cuidado de salud y proteger la libertad reproductiva. Antes de postularse para un cargo público en 2018, Randall trabajó en Planned Parenthood, donde abogó por mejorar los resultados de salud para las poblaciones locales desatendidas. 
    Randall ha sido una legisladora productiva responsable de escribir y aprobar una serie de proyectos de ley durante sus cuatro años en el cargo. Sus logros incluyen aumentar el salario mínimo para las personas con discapacidades, eliminar las disparidades en la capacitación médica y extender la cobertura de cuidado de salud posparto. También patrocinó una legislación que habría protegido el acceso al cuidado de salud para las familias en las zonas rurales. 

    Randall se postula para la reelección para reducir el costo de la educación superior y ampliar los programas de capacitación laboral para los estudiantes de último año de secundaria que se gradúan. También quiere ampliar el acceso al cuidado de salud asequible para las familias de Washington. 

    En marcado contraste con el historial de Randall de construir consenso para aprobar legislación, su oponente, el representante Jesse Young, es uno de los republicanos MAGA más extremos en Olympia. Young patrocinó varios proyectos de ley destinados a eliminar el acceso al aborto mucho antes de que el Tribunal Supremo revocara Roe vs. Wade. Después de las elecciones de 2020, Young viajó a Arizona para promover la conspiración electoral de Trump que buscaba anular la voluntad del pueblo. Durante el apogeo de la pandemia, promovió mentiras peligrosas y anticientíficas que ponen vidas en riesgo. 

    Más allá de sus posiciones políticas radicales, Young también mostró graves fallas en el juicio y el carácter mientras estaba en el cargo. En 2017, a Young se le prohibió dirigir al personal legislativo debido a “un patrón de comportamiento hostil e intimidatorio” en su oficina. Si es elegido para el Senado, se puede esperar que Young continúe impulsando una agenda radical que está muy fuera de sintonía con la gente del Distrito Legislativo 26.

    Mientras el aborto y el cuidado de salud sean atacados por los conservadores tanto a nivel federal como estatal, es imperativo que los senadores continúen expandiendo la cobertura y se aseguren de que el cuidado de salud sea accesible para todos. Recomendamos encarecidamente votar por la senadora Emily Randall en el Distrito Legislativo 26.

  • Adison Richards es un abogado que se postula para el Distrito Legislativo 26, Posición 1. Richards trabajó anteriormente para el Northwest Justice Project, que brinda asistencia legal gratuita para sobrevivientes de violencia doméstica y trata de personas, entre otros. Richards también es voluntario en la comunidad, incluyendo Downtown Waterfront Alliance, Harbor History Museum, Tacoma Pro-Bono y Bremerton NAACP. Quiere traer una visión de oportunidad para todos a Olympia para garantizar que todos en el distrito, sin importar lo que hagan por trabajo o dónde vivan, tengan las herramientas que necesitan para tener éxito. 
     
    Él cree que la seguridad pública debe incluir servicios de emergencia designados con capacitación en salud mental, así como servicios sociales más sólidos para abordar las causas subyacentes del crimen, incluida la falta de viviendas asequibles y oportunidades de trabajo. Quiere apoyar el cultivo local de mariscos, las escuelas técnicas y los aprendizajes, así como expandir la banda ancha rural y solucionar problemas de transporte local, como el puente de Fox Island. 
     
    Su oponente, Spencer Hutchins, sirvió en el Consejo Municipal de Gig Harbor de 2017 a 2019 y es copropietario de una compañía de bienes raíces. Hutchins quiere derogar el estándar de combustible limpio, que tiene como objetivo mejorar el aire mediante la reducción de las emisiones del transporte sucio, así como el impuesto a las ganancias de capital, que hará que los extraordinariamente ricos de nuestro estado finalmente paguen su parte. También quiere derogar la ley de cuidado a largo plazo, que ayudaría a la mayoría de los residentes en Washington que eventualmente necesitarán cuidado para las necesidades diarias, especialmente las personas de la tercera edad y las poblaciones vulnerables. 
     
    La agenda reaccionaria de Hutchins está respaldada por una lista de conservadores y republicanos, que están invirtiendo dinero en esta elección. En particular, el republicano también cuenta con el respaldo de representantes como Jesse Young y Jan Angel, dos de los legisladores más antiabortistas del estado que han intentado repetidamente abogar por restringir la libertad de los habitantes de Washington para elegir si y cuándo tener hijos. Richards es, con mucho, la mejor opción para la Posición 1 del Distrito Legislativo 26.

  • Sen. Yasmin Trudeau was unanimously selected by the Pierce County Council in late 2021 to replace Sen. Jeannie Darneille when she resigned to take a role in the state Department of Corrections. Trudeau is now running to complete the remainder of the Senate term representing the 27th Legislative District.

    In her brief time in office so far, Trudeau has sponsored a large and ambitious slate of bills aimed at supporting youth, expanding health care access, and keeping people in stable housing. Some of the legislation she passed includes allowing unaccompanied, homeless youth to provide their own consent for health care, requiring landlords to accept both electronic and non-electronic payment for rent, and requiring insurance to cover donor breast milk. If re-elected, Trudeau has pledged to continue working hard to make life more secure for working families. She believes the Senate should continue making investments in behavioral health, housing, climate, and transportation policies, and she hopes to lead the charge.

    Trudeau faces a challenge from Republican precinct committee officer and administrative manager Ashley Ray. She has only a bullet-point list of priorities on her website that outlines her conservative agenda while offering little information about her actual policy goals. She also repeats common talking points from Trump Republicans this year who want to deny students an honest and accurate education. Overall, her agenda falls short of what the district needs to recover from the pandemic and be a safe and thriving place for all.

    Trudeau is the clear choice in this race for her experience and strong leadership in the Senate.

  • Speaker of the House Laurie Jinkins is running for re-election to the 27th Legislative District in Position 1. She has been a passionate and effective champion for progressive values, particularly in her fight for women, equity, and closing tax loopholes. She now serves as the first woman and LBGTQ+ speaker of the House in Washington.

    Jinkins consistently advocates for the wealthy to pay their share and provide the resources our communities need to thrive. Recently, she has pledged to protect the right to abortion in Washington state since Roe v. Wade has been overturned by the conservative Supreme Court majority. In previous sessions, Jinkins sponsored bills to improve education funding and secure resources for a new health clinic in Hilltop that serves low-income patients.

    Jinkins' opponent this year is Republican Jalonnie Givens-Jackson. He describes himself as a MAGA enthusiast and liberal gang member turned conservative activist. His policy points are mostly slogans: Authorize Policing, Accountability in Government, and Family Structure is Everything. Givens-Jackson states that he wants to "fully arm law enforcement" and roll back police accountability measures made at the state level. He also wants to see the capital gains tax repealed - one of the few measures that will finally make the state's ultrawealthy pay their share.

    Givens-Jackson's plans to empower the state's richest residents and continue to pour money into militarized police don't speak to the needs of the vast majority in the district. Speaker Jinkins is an integral part of progressive advocacy in the state and has worked hard to improve life for all in the district and the state. She has earned your vote for state House once again this year.

  • Rep. Jake Fey is running for re-election to House Position 2 in the 27th Legislative District. He is a reliable progressive who has championed youth, environmental, and education issues in Olympia. As the son of German immigrants who helped raise his younger siblings at age 13 after his father passed away, Fey is very committed to ensuring future generations of Washingtonians have the support they need to succeed.

    Fey is a transportation advocate who has used his position leading the House Transportation Committee to improve mobility for all. This year, he worked with his Senate colleague Marko Liias to pass the greenest transportation package in Washington's history. He also sponsored bills recently to require the state to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 and led the legislative response to address the transportation budget shortfall.

    Beyond transportation and the environment, Fey also sponsored bills this year to increase student access to mental health resources and establish community oversight boards to increase transparency around law enforcement's interactions with the public.

    Fey's challenger this year is Janet Large, a Republican precinct committee officer for the 27th Legislative District. She is running on a MAGA platform that would deny students a comprehensive, 21st-century education and emphasizes militarized police forces instead of proven solutions to keep our communities safe. Large also wants to take away Washington's secure, proven vote-by-mail system and replace it with in-person paper ballots, citing claims of voter fraud that echo the claims of conservatives who attempted to steal the presidential election in 2020. She has no substantial platform on how to address the housing crisis or improve transportation, stating only that she will reduce regulations. This fails to address the network of needs of so many Washingtonians for more behavioral health care, rental protections, and affordable housing options.

    The state can't afford to go backward on voting rights, comprehensive education, and more, nor rely solely on big real estate businesses to address our housing crisis. Our communities need real leadership experience and not political sloganeering. Jake Fey is the best choice in this race.

  • Rep. Mari Leavitt is running for re-election for the 28th Legislative District, House Position 1. Leavitt previously worked as the deputy director of Pierce County Human Services and has also served as a PTSA board member in University Place, chair of the Pierce County Ethics Commission, and on the Mel Korum YMCA board of directors.

    As a legislator, Leavitt has focused on improving education and advocating for veterans and military families. During her time in Olympia, Leavitt supported legislation to combat the climate crisis and passed bipartisan legislation to support military families, helping veterans qualify for commercial drivers' licenses and guaranteeing in-state residency status for members and their families pursuing higher education. She has also sponsored legislation this year to address lead in drinking water, help juveniles contacted by law enforcement secure legal representation, and support emergency shelters. If re-elected, Leavitt wants to continue her work supporting affordable housing, education, and more.

    Leavitt's opponent in this race is former sheriff's deputy, Marine, and current Pierce College professor Gabe Sachwitz. As of late October, Sachwitz still has no concrete details available about his platform. His official voters' guide statement says that he will address crime and the cost of living, though not how he plans to address them.

    Leavitt has been a strong advocate for the district and is the best choice in this race.

    Rep. Mari Leavitt is running for re-election for the 28th Legislative District, House Position 1. Leavitt previously worked as the deputy director of Pierce County Human Services and has also served as a PTSA board member in University Place, chair of the Pierce County Ethics Commission, and on the Mel Korum YMCA board of directors.

    As a legislator, Leavitt has focused on improving education and advocating for veterans and military families. During her time in Olympia, Leavitt supported legislation to combat the climate crisis and passed bipartisan legislation to support military families, helping veterans qualify for commercial drivers' licenses and guaranteeing in-state residency status for members and their families pursuing higher education. She has also sponsored legislation this year to address lead in drinking water, help juveniles contacted by law enforcement secure legal representation, and support emergency shelters. If re-elected, Leavitt wants to continue her work supporting affordable housing, education, and more.

  • Evergreen Future
  • Firefighter and incumbent Rep. Dan Bronoske is running for re-election in the 28th Legislative District for House Position 2. Bronoske has worked as a firefighter in Pierce County and Lakewood for almost two decades. As an active union member, he has spent his time in Olympia advocating for policies that protect all workers.

    Bronoske delivered on his 2020 campaign promises to support working families, address the opioid epidemic, reduce health care costs, and improve our transportation system. This year, he was the prime sponsor of a bill to protect workers and allow the state to address work-related musculoskeletal injuries. He also sponsored bills to restrict law enforcement's use and acquisition of military equipment and enhance the unemployment system for those struggling during the pandemic.

    Bronoske's commitment to increased health care access and a progressive pandemic response is informed by his career as a first responder. If re-elected, he will continue to stand for workers and working families in his district and beyond.

    Bronoske faces a challenge from Air Force veteran Susanna Keilman. She joins many Republicans this year in attempting to paint police accountability measures passed by the Legislature as "anti-policing." Keilman also states that she will work on tax relief by doing a performance evaluation on and auditing every state employee - which adds up to over 65,000 everyday working people, from nurses to teachers to maintenance workers - as a means to slash the budget. A faster and more effective solution would be to balance our state's upside-down tax code and have the wealthy finally pay their share, which Republicans have so far almost unanimously refused to do in the Legislature. Much of the rest of Keilman's agenda focuses on affordability, but she has no policy proposals on her site about how she would address the cost of food, medical care, and more, saying only that she will provide accountability and transparency.

    Rep. Bronoske has proven that he is willing to help communities better access everyday needs and keep our neighborhoods safe with proven policy solutions. Bronoske is the best choice in this race.

  • Evergreen Future
  • Sen. Steve Conway is running for re-election to the 29th Legislative District. He served for 18 years in the state House before moving to the Senate in 2011.

    Conway is a longtime advocate for working people, including raising the minimum wage and improving access to union apprenticeships. In recent sessions, he has sponsored legislation to give first responders compensation for PTSD suffered while on the job as well as a wealth tax that would finally require Washington's extremely wealthy individuals to pay their share for the resources we all use.

    His opponent is former Republican district leader Terry Harder, a perennial candidate who has run for office eight times since 2008. Harder's disjointed agenda displays some of the worst of recent conservative talking points, including MAGA rhetoric about increasing militarized police, reducing police accountability measures, and pushing fossil fuels. He also wants to repeal age-appropriate sexual health education for students, opposes changes to the tax code to make the ultrawealthy finally pay their share, and wants to reduce environmental regulations on carbon emissions. Harder's complete lack of policy details as of late October marks him as an unserious candidate for Legislature.

  • Rep. Melanie Morgan is running for re-election for the 29th Legislative District, House Position 1. Morgan is an Army veteran who was elected to the Franklin-Pierce School Board in 2015 and worked with Young Life to create a mentorship group for young Black men, focusing on participation in STEM fields. Since 2018, she has been an advocate for representation and equity in Olympia where she has served as the deputy majority floor leader.

    In previous legislative sessions, Morgan was the lead sponsor of legislation prohibiting race-based hair discrimination, preventing gun violence, and establishing the Washington State Office of Equity. More recently, Morgan helped ensure that $200 million was invested in the community for violence prevention programs, legal aid, and reentry support, especially for communities hurt by the war on drugs. Morgan has secured funding for a new Parkland/Spanaway homeless shelter, rental assistance, and charity care for those who need medical services but are struggling to afford them. As someone who has personally experienced homelessness, she was an important sponsor of this year's middle housing bill, which would have increased housing options around transit if passed.

    We are concerned about recent reports that Morgan "engaged in abusive and bullying conduct" while in office. Leaders of the House Democrats are waiting for the completion of her appeal before taking any action.

    Also in this race is Republican Brett Johnson, an Air Force veteran and sawmill and furniture business owner who has also served on the Sound Transit Citizen Oversight Panel, among other roles. Johnson also ran unsuccessfully last year against Kiara Daniels for Tacoma City Council,  As of late October, Johnson has still not released a detailed platform or list of priorities if elected. 

    Voters deserve more transparency than Johnson has offered about how he would represent them in Olympia. Morgan has earned strong support from our Progressive Voters Guide partner organizations and is the best choice in this race.

  • Sharlett Mena is running for the open 29th Legislative District, House Position 2 seat. Though she lost after a formidable run in the 2020 election to the current representative, Steve Kirby, his retirement after 21 years in the Legislature brings a new opportunity for her impressive candidacy.

    Mena has a deep background in both public service and community organizing. She currently serves as Special Assistant to the Director of the Washington State Department of Ecology and has also worked in the governor's office. She co-created Voter Turnup in 2021, an organization led by people of color to spur voter turnout and civic engagement. Notably, she also serves on the boards of Progreso, Planned Parenthood, and Fuse Washington, which produces this guide.

    Mena wants to take bold action to combat the climate crisis equitably, reduce homelessness, invest in transportation, and increase affordable housing. She sees reforming our upside-down tax code to finally make the wealthy pay their share as a key to our state's future.

    Running against Mena is nurse practitioner David Figuracion. He does not have elected or community leadership experience and is running on a standard conservative agenda. His campaign materials focus on stoking fears of lawlessness, repealing age-appropriate sexual health education, and opposing making the wealthy finally pay their share with legislation like the wealth tax. His only endorsement is one from an anti-choice PAC fighting against reproductive freedom for all Washingtonians.

    Sharlett Mena has strong progressive credentials and is ready to hit the ground running in Olympia. She is the best choice in the 29th Legislative District.

  • Chris Vance is challenging Trump Republican Sen. Phil Fortunato as an independent. Vance has previously served in elected office both in the state Legislature and as a member of the Metropolitan King County Council. He was the former chair of the state’s Republican party and now works for King County in communications and serves as a senior fellow at the Niskanen Center, a Libertarian think tank.

    Vance is an outspoken voice against the MAGA Republican trend in the local party he used to lead. His campaign priorities include making sure all public schools have the resources they need for students to thrive and improving our transit system. Unfortunately, he also wants to direct resources away from the things that make our communities safe and strong like affordable housing, accessible health care, and clean parks, and instead use those funds to expand and militarize police forces.

    Fortunato typifies the extreme Republicans Vance opposes. On the first day of the legislative session this year, Fortunato was escorted off the legislative campus for refusing to follow basic COVID-19 protections. Later, he falsely told constituents that COVID safety guidelines have caused more deaths than the virus itself, which has claimed 1 million lives. Fortunato has also promoted far-right conspiracies that seek to overturn the will of the people in the 2020 election and he recently said that the state’s equity efforts were racial “segregation.”

    Residents of the 31st Legislative District deserve a representative who will put community needs above extremist ideologies and conspiracy beliefs. Though he is not a progressive, Chris Vance is the best choice in this race for state senator.

  • Holly Stanton is an attorney and small business owner running in the 31st Legislative District for Position 1. Stanton is a moderate Democrat and a first-time candidate who wants to strengthen community services so that we can all put food on our tables and access quality health care, housing, and schools. She would also prioritize environmental protections to build a sustainable future for generations to come. Unfortunately, Stanton also supports some more conservative policies around increasing policing instead of expanding public services and infrastructure to keep our communities safe.

    Stanton is challenging Republican Rep. Drew Stokesbary, a practicing attorney at his own law firm. In 2020, at the height of the pandemic, Stokesbary and a few of his GOP colleagues sued Gov. Inslee over the Stay-At-Home order. While many Washington families are struggling to afford the basics like health care, medicine, housing, child care, and education, Stokesbary has opposed investments in our communities in favor of tax breaks for corporations and the wealthy. Though he claims to be interested in public safety, he recently voted against a bill to keep our communities safe from high-capacity firearms and wrongly believes that sending militarized police forces into our neighborhoods will make us safer. Stokesbary has taken some good votes, however, including supporting the Working Families Tax Credit.

    Though there are no progressive candidates in this race, Holly Stanton is the best candidate to advocate for community needs in Legislative District 31, Position 1.

  • Carrie Wilbur is a Democrat challenging Republican Rep. Eric Robertson for the 31st Legislative District, Position 2 after making it on the ballot from a successful write-in campaign in the primary. Wilbur has been self-employed and previously worked as a caregiver. She was a co-founder and now serves as a board chair for the local nonprofit Out of the Gray, Caring for Caregivers.

    Wilbur is running to make her district a place where all residents can have their needs met and thrive. She wants to fight for self-determination in reproductive health care, balancing our state’s upside-down tax code, building racial equity, addressing homelessness preventatively through affordable housing solutions, and advocating for people with disabilities. Her progressive vision also includes advocating for caregivers of disabled loved ones who lack institutional support and are rarely paid for their work.

    Rep. Eric Robertson first served in the Legislature from 1994 to 1998 before switching to a career in law enforcement and then rejoining the state House in his current position in 2021. He is promoting a Trump Republican agenda that includes critiquing basic COVID safety guidelines, preventing schools from teaching age-appropriate sexual health education, and relying on over-policing to address addiction issues in our community. In the last session, he voted against commonsense gun safety legislation and updates to the state’s climate goals.

    Carrie Wilbur is the clear choice in this race and deserves your vote to take science seriously and put the community first.

County Council District Races

Depending on the county district you live in, you may have the following races on your ballot.

  • Republican

    Dave Morell

  •  There are no progressive candidates in the race for Pierce County Council in District 1.

    Republican incumbent Dave Morell is running for re-election to the seat where he has served since 2019. Morell chairs the public safety committee and has also run a few local businesses. He also previously served in the Washington state House representing the 25th Legislative District. In this race, Morell’s top priority is pouring more money into law enforcement budgets to expand and militarize police forces and send them into our neighborhoods. Morell’s platform neglects policy that really keeps us safe: community investments that help us afford rent, gas, groceries, health care services, child care, and prescription medication.

    Timothy Tooker is challenging Morell as an “America First (R)” Party candidate. Tooker is a military veteran, general contractor and realtor, and vice chair of the 25th Legislative District Republicans. In August 2020 at a counterprotest for a Black Lives Matter rally, Tooker threw his neighbor to the ground and injured him when the neighbor tried to de-escalate Tooker’s aggressive behavior toward Black Lives Matter activists. Now, Tooker is running for county council in order to oppose the “onslaught of socialism” and “indentured servitude,” and remind Washingtonians that “our freedoms come from God himself!” He is a far-right candidate with no specific policy proposals on his campaign website as of late October.

    While he is not progressive, we recommend Morell as the less extreme of the two candidates in this race.

In this race, Morell’s top priority is pouring more money into law enforcement budgets to expand and militarize police forces and send them into our neighborhoods. Morell’s platform neglects policy that really keeps us safe: community investments that help us afford rent, gas, groceries, health care services, child care, and prescription medication.

    Timothy Tooker is challenging Morell as an “America First (R)” Party candidate. Tooker is a military veteran, general contractor and realtor, and vice chair of the 25th Legislative District Republicans. In August 2020 at a counterprotest for a Black Lives Matter rally, Tooker threw his neighbor to the ground and injured him when the neighbor tried to de-escalate Tooker’s aggressive behavior toward Black Lives Matter activists. Now, Tooker is running for county council in order to oppose the “onslaught of socialism” and “indentured servitude,” and remind Washingtonians that “our freedoms come from God himself!” He is a far-right candidate with no specific policy proposals on his campaign website as of late October.

    While he is not progressive, we recommend Morell as the less extreme of the two candidates in this race. 
     
  • Democrat Marty Campbell is seeking re-election to continue serving District 5 on the Pierce County Council. Before joining the county council in 2019, Campbell served on the Tacoma City Council, including time as the city’s deputy mayor. He has run two small businesses and previously chaired the Crystal Judson Family Justice Center, which provides support for survivors of abuse and sexual violence.

    If re-elected, Campbell wants to continue fighting for affordable housing, community safety, electric public transit, and essential services for our neighbors experiencing homelessness. He fought for federal small business support to help with the pandemic recovery and has been a strong advocate for investments in stable housing options in the county. He believes adding mental health professionals to law enforcement responses will make our communities safer. His vision is for everyone in the county to have access to stable housing, reliable public transportation, and living-wage jobs.

    Republican Nancy Dailey Slotnick is challenging Campbell in this race. Slotnick is an Army veteran and owns a consulting business with her husband focused on security and risk assessment. She is running to cut the county budget, which will undermine working people’s access to prescription medications, health care services, food, and rent. However, she also lists giving more funding to law enforcement as her top priority in this race.

    Marty Campbell is the best choice for District 5 on the Pierce County Council.

  • Gig Harbor City Council member Robyn Denson is running for Pierce County Council in District 7. She is campaigning to fill Derek Young’s seat when he leaves the council this year because of term limits. Denson has been an active and effective council member in Gig Harbor. She is also a small business owner who works in real estate, hosts a local radio show, and has served on a number of community boards focusing on schools, parks, and equity.

    Denson has worked hard to build equitable economic opportunity in the county. One of her top priorities is addressing the housing crisis, where she plans to draw on her experience as a nonpartisan housing analyst in the state House to implement real solutions. Denson is also running to protect our environment, bring municipal broadband to the region, invest in public transit, and increase access to mental health resources.

    Denson is running against Air Force veteran and human resources manager Paula Lonergan. Her campaign platform mirrors that of many Republicans running this year. She blames the county’s issues on our neighbors who are struggling the most and would rather cut social support services than make investments in our communities so we can all thrive.

    Denson is the best choice for Pierce County Council, District 7.

Sonntag previously worked in the Seattle City attorney’s office, and outside of official public service, she is a co-founder and co-director of Lawyers Against Systemic Racism.

    The other candidate in this race is Reed Speir, an administrative law judge for the state Office of Administrative Hearings. Speir is in favor of investing in pretrial diversion and therapeutic courts to reduce costly and unnecessary incarceration as well as working to make the court more accessible to all community members, particularly through expanded hours.

    Dee Sonntag would bring progressive and just leadership to the Tacoma Municipal Court. She deserves your vote to serve as a judge in Position 1.

  • Auburn city prosecutor Sergio Flores is running for judge in Tacoma Municipal Court, Position 3 to bring his experience in prosecuting and his community values to the bench. Previously, Flores worked as a Tacoma City prosecutor and earlier as the King County director to Senator Patty Murray. His experience as a gay Latino immigrant has guided his belief in the importance of courts and our legal system to ensure that we all have a fair chance to thrive.

    Flores is running with a judicial philosophy built on collaboration, compassion, and accountability. He was a co-founder of the Auburn Community Court and one of his top campaign priorities is to invest in diversion and therapeutic programs and preventative social services that strike at the root causes of crime in our community. In doing so, he hopes to reduce costly and ineffective incarcerations for non-violent offenders while strengthening our community and giving people a second chance. Flores is endorsed by an impressive number of progressive and judicial leaders in this race.

    The other candidate in this race is Steve Krupa, a civil legal aid and veterans project attorney with Northwest Justice Project. In addition to his work as an attorney, Krupa also serves as a pro tem judge for the court. He is running to bring that experience to the bench. Though he agrees with his opponent on the importance of diversion programs and alternative courts, he has not shared as clear of a platform for the community as Flores.

    We recommend Sergio Flores in this race because of his progressive vision of justice and community safety.
