Rep. Noel Frame is running for the state Senate on a strong and progressive record of action in the state House. First elected as a representative in 2016, she previously served as the Washington state director of Progressive Majority, where she worked to recruit and elect progressive candidates from underrepresented communities. She has spent her time in Olympia advocating for working families, funding our public schools, and creating a more equitable society by removing systemic discrimination and barriers for people of color.
Frame had a particularly productive legislative session this year, and sponsored many of the progressive bills that passed into law, including limiting ghost guns, restricting guns in certain public areas, and creating a system to locate missing Indigenous people. Though they didn't pass this year, Frame also sponsored a bill to add more middle housing as well as the wealth tax bill, building support for making the extraordinarily wealthy finally pay their share for the resources we all use. She also successfully supported juvenile justice reform, expanding the number of families who qualify for child care assistance, and protecting us from surprise medical billing by continuing to push for a progressive Washington.
Her opponent in this race is planning and design consultant Kate Martin, who ran and lost races in the City of Seattle three times since 2013. She also launched I-123 in 2016 to preserve the Alaskan Way Viaduct, which 83% of Seattle voters rejected.
While Martin filed for office as a Democrat, her values and voters' pamphlet statement make it clear that she's not progressive. In December of 2020, Martin stated that "I joined the GOP today" and claims to have re-joined the Democratic Party only recently. However, her Facebook page is an endless stream of Republican conspiracy theories and disinformation about unions, the LGBTQ community, homelessness, and people struggling with addiction. In contrast, as of mid-July Martin's campaign website does not include campaign priorities beyond vague platitudes about moderation and bipartisanship.
This race offers a clear contrast between a hard-working, proven leader in Olympia and a candidate who would block the kind of bold progressive reforms our communities need. While Martin filed for office as a Democrat, voters should know that her public statements reveal the truth about her far-right beliefs on a wide range of topics.
Vote for Noel Frame for state Senate from the 36th Legislative District.

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.
