  • Doug White is the sole Democrat running for U.S. Representative for the 4th Congressional District. His platform is focused on protecting the local environment and expanding rural health care. He has worked for multinational businesses and comes from several generations of Central Washington farmers. 

    White's focus would be a huge change from incumbent Dan Newhouse's conservative policies as well as the proposals of the MAGA Republicans in this race. He believes that climate change needs to be mitigated by local energy from solar and wind. White believes immigrants need a path forward to citizenship and that more must be done to secure affordable housing for all, provide a safety net for seniors and the vulnerable, and that infrastructure from waterways to broadband internet need to be modernized and rebuilt. Unlike most of his opponents, White also supports passing a law to protect reproductive freedom for all Americans.

    White is broadly endorsed by many Democratic organizations, unions, and more. For his willingness to take on the district's and nation's biggest issues, like protecting water and building up communities more equitably, we recommend Doug White for Congress for the 4th District.

  • Democrat Steve Hobbs is running to retain his position as secretary of state for the remainder of the two-year term. He is a first-generation Japanese American and 30-year member of the military, serving tours in Kosovo and Iraq before becoming a lieutenant colonel in the Washington Army National Guard.

    Hobbs was appointed as secretary of state in November of last year after Kim Wyman resigned to join the Biden administration. Prior to his appointment, he served four terms in the Washington state Senate representing the 44th Legislative District. His voting record was consistently progressive on social issues and more conservative on taxes, environmental issues, and workers' rights.

    During his first eight months in office, Hobbs has been laser-focused on protecting our electoral systems from attacks. He has used his background in national security to partner closely with the Department of Homeland Security to stop digital threats to our voting systems, both foreign and domestic. Hobbs also understands the challenge misinformation poses to the integrity of our elections. He has been working to set up a division within his office specifically to combat misinformation and wants to work closely with social media companies to ensure they take down dangerous conspiracy theories.

    As many things re-open from the pandemic, Hobbs is committed to restarting his office's voter outreach program. He is very enthusiastic about a trusted messenger program he's launching to utilize community leaders to talk about the importance of voting. He also wants to improve outreach to reduce the racial disparities in rejected ballots because of signature mismatches.

    The only issue of concern with Hobbs is his personal opposition to ranked choice voting. During our interview, he shared that he's concerned about implementing a complicated new voting system at a moment of low trust in our elections. He is particularly concerned that voters like his mother, who speaks English as a second language, will have a difficult time learning and participating in the new system.

    Hobbs made a compelling case that the secretary of state must adapt to the new and complex challenges of running modern elections. Hobbs is a good choice if you're looking for someone with national security experience to safeguard and rebuild trust in our electoral system.

  • Pierce County Auditor Julie Anderson is running as a nonpartisan candidate to bring an independent voice to the secretary of state's office. Anderson served on the Tacoma City Council before running for county auditor in 2009 and winning re-election three times. As Pierce County auditor, which is a nonpartisan position, she has administered dozens of elections while also overseeing licensing and public record-keeping.

    Anderson is running as a nonpartisan candidate because she believes political parties shouldn't be involved in running elections they are simultaneously trying to win. Her campaign priorities include supporting more local races becoming nonpartisan, increasing access to voting and election information, and improving election security. She wants to translate the voters' pamphlet into 10 languages, going beyond what is mandated by the Voting Rights Act. She also wants to conduct risk-limiting audits in all 39 Washington counties and "pre-bunk" rumors to increase confidence in our state's election systems.

    While Hobbs spoke more about using cybersecurity to protect our elections, Anderson leaned on her professional expertise to describe ways to expand our democracy. She believes, for example, that the state should redouble its efforts to reach voters with disabilities. By using a secure, expert-vetted electronic ballot similar to those used for overseas military voters, Anderson sees a path forward to reach those who don't always have access to vote.

     

    During our interview, Anderson expressed support for ranked choice voting because she believes it will allow candidates to break through our two-party political system. She supports grants for local jurisdictions that are interested in trying ranked choice voting so that it's not unduly expensive for local governments, and so that auditors can learn more about how to manage and implement it.

    Anderson offers voters an experienced option if they are looking for an independent to administer our state's elections.

Laurene Contreras is challenging Republican incumbent Chris Corry for the 14th Legislative District, Position 1 without a party preference. Contreras works for the Yakama Nation as an administrator for environmental restoration, waste management, and cleanup projects. She grew up on the Yakama Reservation and has been a community leader on issues at the intersection of tribal sovereignty and environmental stewardship for years. Contreras is running on a general platform to support families and the district with community problem-solving and bipartisan collaboration.

Corry joined the Legislature in 2019 and continues to work as an insurance broker outside of public office. In 2020, he was one of four Republican lawmakers who sued Gov. Inslee for his stay-at-home order during the height of the pandemic. Recently, Corry voted against a number of progressive bills including legislation to update the state’s carbon goals and a bill to keep our communities safe from high-capacity firearms.

In this race with no progressives, we recommend writing in a candidate of your choice or voting for Laurene Contreras for House Position 1.

    Liz Hallock

  • Former Green party candidate Liz Hallock is a small business owner and attorney running for the 14th Legislative District, House Position 2. Hallock ran for governor in 2020 on a platform to invest in small businesses, fight climate change, put people first, and safeguard our democracy from big money interests. Now, she is running as a “Women’s Reproductive Justice Party candidate” to lead with science, improve accessible child care, and pass a Green New Deal in Washington to bring economic security to working families while fighting climate change. A chosen delegate for Sen. Bernie Sanders in 2016, Hallock has ideas for big, structural change in Washington to require corporations and the wealthy to pay their share. If elected, she also wants to address the housing crisis, mass incarceration due to the war on drugs, and attacks on recent reproductive freedom.

    Hallock is challenging Rep. Gina Mosbrucker, a staunch conservative seeking re-election for her fifth term in the Legislature. Outside of elected office, she works in the hotel industry. Recently, Mosbrucker voted with her Republican colleagues to oppose bills to keep our communities safe from high-capacity firearms and to improve our state’s climate response. She also voted against a ban on chokeholds and publicly critiqued the basic requirement that officers exhaust alternatives before using force.

    Family physician and yoga instructor Chris Faison is running for office as an Independent. Faison does not have a detailed campaign platform available as of mid-July but he talks about wanting to connect our communities as a healer and improve health care, child care, and public education.

    Hallock is the most progressive candidate in this race. We recommend her for Position 2 in the 14th Legislative District to invest in our communities.
