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.

Natasha Hill is running for Congress to be a progressive advocate for everyone in the 5th District, not just the wealthy few. She grew up in Spokane utilizing community resources like SNAP and later experienced homelessness and food insecurity while pursuing her law degree. Now Hill wants to ensure that no one should have to struggle through poverty to get their education or thrive in America. Hill currently owns her own law practice and has also served as an adjunct law professor and a member of the Spokane County Redistricting Committee.
Hill is running to focus on addressing the disparities between working people, seniors, and families and the extraordinarily wealthy corporations that have dominated politics and the economy for decades. Hill wants to make the child tax credit permanent, expand rural health care options, and raise the minimum wage so that any American can meet their basic needs on forty hours of work a week. She also wants to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act and overturn obstacles to the vote for youth and people of color.
In our Spokane committee's interview with Hill, she expressed strong support for strengthening unions, codifying the right to abortion, and reimagining education, health care, and the criminal justice system. She has been endorsed by the state labor council, two legislative district Democratic organizations, and the county Democrats as well. For her bold and progressive platform in this time of crisis and widening inequity, as well as her broader organizational support, we lean towards Natasha Hill for U.S. Representative of the 5th Congressional District.Ultima actualización 2023-04-05Natasha Hill

Ann Marie Danimus is running for U.S. Representative in the 5th Congressional District to develop a more equitable economy for working families. As a double-transplant recipient who has had to navigate the mires of the U.S. health care system, Danimus wants to see improvements at the national level from a representative who will support rural communities. She is an executive board member of the Spokane County Democrats as well as a precinct committee officer. She has served in numerous community organizations, including as founder of Stubborn Girl Fund 4 Arts and Education as well as Raise the Roof.

In our questionnaire from Danimus, she also highlighted the need for federal tax reform and her desire to expand the U.S. House so elected officials could better represent and advocate for their districts.
Danimus has pledged to take no money from corporations, corporate PACs, or corporate lobbyists, and is endorsed by one county and one legislative district Democratic group.Ultima actualización 2023-04-05Ann Marie Danimus

Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers is running for re-election to the office she has held since 2005.
With a 95 percent record of voting with Trump during his presidency, McMorris Rodgers is one of the most damaging lawmakers in Washington. She has voted yes on Trump's border wall, supported his trillion-dollar corporate tax cut, and was the only representative from Washington to vote for Trump's bill to cut $800 billion from Medicaid. She voted against raising the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour and has refused on multiple occasions to hold town halls to answer to her constituents for her votes.
McMorris Rodgers has consistently stood in the way of abortion rights, including attempting to defund Planned Parenthood and its many services to the community. She has a 5 percent lifetime score from the League of Conservation Voters for her many attempts to deregulate environmental protections. Voting McMorris Rodgers out of office would be a big step towards progress on the environment, workers' rights, reproductive freedom, and much more.

There are two good candidates running for secretary of state who would bring different priorities and professional experience to the job: Steve Hobbs and Julie Anderson. Both are committed to increasing voter participation. Hobbs has earned the support of more elected officials and Progressive Voters Guide partner organizations.

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.Ultima actualización 2023-04-05Steve Hobbs

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.

Community leader Ronni Batchelor is the only non-Republican in this race to represent the 8th Legislative District in the state Senate. Batchelor is running without a party preference and has never held elected office. Currently, she works as a first responder for mental health crisis response and as a peer support specialist for the Lourdes Health Network. As of early July, Batchelor has no campaign website and only a vague platform that emphasizes expanding affordable housing for all, investing in mental health resources, and generally making health care widely accessible. Her background in affordable housing advocacy, addiction and mental health services, and advocacy for the LGBTQ+ community demonstrate that she is focused on making Washington less divided, with a higher quality of life for all of us.
Representative and former Kennewick City Council member Matt Boehnke is running for the state Senate in the 8th Legislative District this year to fill Sharon Brown’s seat. Boehnke, who joined the state House in 2019, also works as the cyber security director at Columbia Basin College. This past legislative session the Republican lawmaker voted against a slate of progressive bills, including ones to ban the sale of high-capacity firearm magazines and to set new, state net-zero carbon goals. Boehnke was also one of a few lawmakers to oppose changing the racist mascot of a local school last fall.
Alex Barrington is a far-right Republican and retail chain manager who is campaigning on an extremist platform to help big corporations, blame Gov. Inslee for the negative effects of the pandemic, and erase some of Washington’s diverse communities from our students’ history books, making our curriculums historically inaccurate.
In a low-information race without significant endorsements from partners and other organizations, we are cautious on making a strong recommendation, but believe Ronni Batchelor is the best choice for the state Senate seat in the 8th Legislative District.

John Christenson is running for House Position 2 in the 8th Legislative District. Christenson is a working civil engineer and veteran who has also served as an elected commissioner for Benton County Fire District 1 since 2020. He is the only Democrat in this race and has a history of working across party lines to make the district a better place for all residents to live and work.
Christenson is a health care advocate and worked to support the Affordable Care Act to bring better health care access and affordability to his neighbors. During the pandemic, he also volunteered his time to help with the regional response to slow the spread of COVID-19 and keep our communities safe. In the fire district commissioner position, Christenson has worked to make upgrades to local fire safety infrastructure. Though he does not have a detailed campaign website as of mid-July, Christenson is running on the principles of community investment and public service to improve the quality of life in the 8th Legislative District.
Republican April Connors is a realtor and first-time candidate. Her goals for office include fighting the comprehensive sexual health education bill passed by lawmakers in the Legislature and supported by voters in the 2020 election. Connors also wants to divert funding from community investments in housing, health care, schools, and public infrastructure and use it to militarize and expand our police forces. Additionally, she has made clear that she will prioritize the corporate interests of the energy sector if elected.
Also in this race are Republican challengers Joe Cotta and Larry Stanley. Cotta is a Republican vineyard manager who does not have a background in community leadership and is running on a platform built on divisive, far-right rhetoric. If elected, he wants to strip Washingtonians of reproductive freedom and reinstate police use of force in cases where law enforcement lacks evidence to arrest. He believes in rights “given by God” above our country’s and state’s civil rights. Residents of the district deserve better than Cotta’s reactionary, nationalist stances.
Challenger Larry Stanley is a more moderate Republican who favors the idea of a basic income, some policy measures to keep our communities safe from gun violence, and bipartisan efficiency. He challenged conservative incumbent Matt Boehnke in 2020 when he registered as a candidate with “The Alliance” party. Stanley is the general manager of a Washington winery and has previously worked as a preacher, nonprofit leader, and teacher.
