Sen. Victoria Hunt is running to retain her state Senate seat representing Legislative District 5 to protect the environment, secure reproductive rights, and modernize our state housing laws. Prior to running for legislature, Hunt served three terms on the Issaquah City Council, where she prioritized environmental protections and protecting open space. She holds a Ph.D. in ecology and serves as the Chief Data Officer at Crosswalk Labs, where she works to track and mitigate carbon pollution for local cities.
During her first legislative session, Hunt voted to limit rent increases to 10%, which will reduce the cost of housing for renters across the state. She also voted in favor of anti-discrimination protections for students as well as a bill that would improve recycling and reduce the amount of plastic waste going to landfills.
Hunt used her experience as a local elected official and environmental scientist to make a difference on key issues in just her first few months in office. She has clearly earned your vote for state Senate from the 5th Legislative District.

Deborah "Deb" Krishnadasan is running to retain her seat as the state Senator representing the 26th Legislative District. Krishnadasan was appointed in 2024 to replace Emily Randall, who was elected to Congress. Prior to her appointment, Krishnadasan was an active member of the Peninsula School Board, first serving as a full-time public school volunteer. She was later elected to the Peninsula School District Board of Directors and eventually served as the president. While on the board, Krishnadasan led efforts to increase school funding, including forming an advocacy group and campaigning for school levies and bonds. For her work in public service, Krishnadasan has received many awards, including Citizen of the Year and the Hugh McMillan and Community Leadership awards.
In our interview, Krishnadasan's commitment to improving public education was evident. Since assuming her Senate position, she has remained true to her progressive values, such as voting to establish anti-discrimination protections for students. She also voted to increase education funding and expand access to special education across the state.
Additionally, Krishnadasan has supported other progressive bills addressing health care and workers' rights. In 2025, she introduced legislation that required hospitals to perform abortions when necessary to protect the safety or health of a pregnant patient.
During her tenure, there have been some votes on which we have disagreed with the senator. For example, Krishnadasan was among only two Democrats who voted against a new excise tax on short-term rental properties that would have funded affordable housing. We also disagreed with her vote against creating a uniform recycling system for the state and solutions to reduce waste going into landfills. Nevertheless, she has been supportive of most progressive priorities in Olympia.
Deborah Krishnadasan has long been involved in her community and is a strong advocate for education and other progressive values. She is the clear choice for Senate from the 26th Legislative District.

Rep. Janice Zahn is running to retain Position 1 representing the 41st Legislative District. Zahn emigrated from Hong Kong as a child and has dedicated her adult life to stewarding public infrastructure and services. She is the chief engineer for the Port of Seattle and served on the Bellevue City Council until her appointment to the Legislature in January.
Zahn has been a consistent and outspoken progressive leader in our community. In our interview, she shared that her priorities include supporting affordable housing, paid family leave, efficient project management, and protecting public education for students. She approaches policy with an eye on equity and wants to "help those who are furthest from power to create a level playing field for them to advocate for themselves."
One of Zahn's proudest accomplishments during her time on the Bellevue City Council was the development and implementation of a safe parking program. The program supported approximately 60 children experiencing housing instability by providing a safe space for families to park their cars, rest, study, and have a meal. The program particularly supported single working moms, helping them find their own stability and move into transitional housing.
Janice Zahn is a caring and compassionate leader who has hosted over 250 constituent meetings to hear their concerns. She has earned your vote for Position 1 representing the 41st Legislative District.

Democrat Vandana Slatter is running to retain her position representing the 48th Legislative District in the state Senate. In January, Slatter was appointed by the King County Council to replace Sen. Patty Kuderer, who won her recent election for Washington Insurance Commissioner. Slatter previously served on the Bellevue City Council as the first Indian-American city council member, as well as on the boards of organizations such as the Children's Institute for Learning Differences and NARAL Pro-Choice Washington.
In the Legislature, Slatter has built a reputation as a progressive champion for students and working people. She recently supported bills to strengthen gun safety through a number of commonsense measures, teach inclusive curricula at school, and support collective bargaining rights for workers. In previous sessions, she worked to pass legislation that funds zero-emission school buses and improves access to food assistance programs for those in our community who need them. Her appointment from the King County Council and strong community support from past campaigns confirm that she is a respected and effective progressive leader in Olympia.

King County Council President Girmay Zahilay has represented District 2 (Central and South Seattle) since his first election in 2019. Raised in Seattle’s public housing by a refugee single mother, he lived in public housing and survived on food stamps before making his way through Stanford University to serve in the Obama administration fighting poverty. He is an attorney with experience in both the corporate and public sectors. Zahilay also founded Rising Leaders, a nonprofit that uplifts underserved middle school students to reach their full potential.
On the county council, Zahilay has focused on pressing issues such as community safety, the cost of living, and making investments in local public services. His accomplishments demonstrate a comprehensive and progressive approach to enhancing the quality of life for all county residents. Zahilay led the Food Bank Motion to bring greater food security and affordability to our region, helped efforts to transform Skyway, including greater public transit coverage. He has made public safety a top priority, including leading an effort to establish five crisis care centers that will help our neighbors struggling with addiction and mental illness, writing legislation to reduce gun violence, and creating a program to tackle crime at transit stations.
Zahilay's campaign focuses on a wide range of progressive priorities. His own personal experience with homelessness informs his approach to the issue, prioritizing solutions such as investing in additional shelter beds, zoning reforms, rental assistance programs, and youth-oriented programming to prevent homelessness. He is also a strong supporter of not only protecting but expanding access to reproductive health care, including gender-affirming care. Some of his other priorities include public safety, gun violence prevention, and more. Zahilay's platform is carefully and thoroughly constructed, with well-researched progressive solutions.
Zahilay has earned endorsements from local tribes, two fellow councilmembers, the governor and attorney general, as well as Representatives Adam Smith and Pramila Jayapal of King County.

Barry Buchanan is running for a fourth term on the Whatcom County Council. Buchanan is a Navy veteran and lifelong community leader who has been a consistent voice for progress on the county council since joining in 2014. Before that, he spent a term on the Bellingham City Council. Buchanan has previously worked in engineering and as a small business entrepreneur in workforce technical training.
On the council, Buchanan has pursued bold action such as preventing the expansion of local fossil fuel infrastructure, finding alternatives to a costly new jail, banning local fracking, and establishing the Healthy Children’s Fund. In this race, he is prioritizing addressing the affordability crisis while ensuring that local government works efficiently and responsively toward local solutions. Some of his goals for another term include developing alternative crisis response options to law enforcement, advocating for social equity and environmental protections, and expanding affordable housing options in the county.
Buchanan’s leadership is guided by his belief in the “right to thrive” for all Whatcom County residents. We recommend Barry Buchanan for another term in the At-Large seat on the Whatcom County Council.

Incumbent Rod Dembowsk is seeking another term representing District 1 on the King County Council, where he has served since 2013. Dembowski is an attorney who spent over a decade at a local litigation firm before his council work.

Cyrus Donato is running for Tacoma Port Commissioner, District 4. Donato is currently the Puget Sound Inspector for the International Transport Workers' Federation. He also serves on the Washington Advisory Committee on Trafficking, during which he fought against labor exploitation and human trafficking in the maritime industry.
If elected, Donato will prioritize growing cargo, environmental accountability, and improving public trust through ethical governance. He is a proponent of reducing congestion and pollution in the Port's systems and wants to prioritize the use of clean technology to achieve this goal. He also recognized the Puyallup Tribe's land and wants to build more local partnerships in the decision-making process.
Donato is a vocal advocate for workers' rights in the fishing industry, with a particular focus on protecting immigrants. In 2023, he was part of the team that fought for a crew of Filipino fishermen who were trapped aboard fishing vessels for almost two months in Westport. The crew was stranded by their abusive employers who refused to pay them wages and kept them separated from their families. Eventually, the crew was rescued and given temporary visas to assist with the investigation into the crimes of their bosses.
While we would like to see some more detailed policy proposals, Cyrus Donato is clearly a progressive and passionate advocate for workers' rights, making him our recommendation in this race.

Bremerton City Council member Jeff Coughlin is challenging incumbent Greg Wheeler for Bremerton Mayor. Coughlin is an astrophysicist and former NASA director who has been on the council since 2021. He is also an active volunteer within the community, serving as the Director of the Kitsap History Museum. If elected, Coughlin would make history as Bremerton's first LGBTQ+ mayor.
Coughlin's campaign adopts a broad and multifaceted approach to addressing the issues facing Bremerton. Some of his primary concerns include housing and affordability, environmental protection, and enhancing connectivity and mobility throughout the city. As an avid biker, he has experienced firsthand the difficulties with mobility that include missing sidewalks and unprotected bike lanes. He hopes to prioritize modern and accessible infrastructure that reduces car dependency and results in a more connected community. On housing and affordability, he proposes streamlining the process for developers to increase the supply of missing middle housing, such as duplexes and backyard cottages, rather than introducing more luxury condos that residents cannot afford.
Coughlin's approach to addressing homelessness in the area could have been more comprehensive, particularly in terms of increasing shelter capacity and expanding transitional housing options. We were disappointed to see some of the language he used on his website express disdain with the unhoused population and lacked suggestions to uplift neighbors out of homelessness and addiction. In 2023, Coughlin voted to implement a camping ban ordinance that restricted camping on certain parts of the city if shelter capacity was unavailable. Homelessness advocates argue against camping ordinances due to concerns over a lack of resources and displacement. Additionally, Coughlin's approach to public safety relies on increasing staffing for police and fire departments, but makes no mention of adding mental and behavioral health resources as alternative policing methods for our most vulnerable neighbors.
Coughlin demonstrates a strong affinity for environmental protection, advocating for expanded park services, greener infrastructure, and upgraded stormwater systems to prevent pollutants from entering the city's water. Coughlin's campaign has earned an overwhelming amount of support from local activists, the current city council, and progressive organizations across the region, including our partners at Washington Conservation Action, Planned Parenthood, and Washington Bikes.
While we do not align with all of his stances, Jeff Coughlin is a good candidate for residents seeking leadership that represents a new generation as Bremerton continues to grow. We lean toward electing him as the next Mayor of Bremerto.

Coughlin demonstrates a strong affinity for environmental protection, advocating for expanded park services, greener infrastructure, and upgraded stormwater systems to prevent pollutants from entering the city's water. Coughlin's campaign has earned an overwhelming amount of support from local activists, the current city council, and progressive organizations across the region, including our partners at Washington Conservation Action, Planned Parenthood, and Washington Bikes.
While we do not align with all of his stances, Jeff Coughlin is a good candidate for residents seeking leadership that represents a new generation as Bremerton continues to grow. We lean toward electing him as the next Mayor of Bremerto.
Chris Eck is running to retain Position 1 on the Edmonds City Council, to which she was first elected in 2023. She serves as the Vice President of Programs for Volunteers of America Western Washington, a Christian organization that operates food banks, crisis care services, homelessness prevention programs, and youth initiatives. She also brings experience in neighborhood planning from the Lynnwood and Snohomish County planning commissions.
Eck's platform is driven by her work in the human services sector, where she sees young families being priced out of neighborhoods, lower-wage workers with high rents and long commutes, and others struggling to get by. Her top priorities are providing more affordable homes, making neighborhoods more sustainable and walkable, and ensuring the diverse voices of all Edmonds residents are included in decision-making. Her stance on public safety starts with empathy and respect - she knows firsthand how important it is to have non-police professionals create pathways for people struggling with homelessness, substance use, or domestic violence.

Incumbent Paul Charbonneau is running for re-election to Position 6 on the Newcastle City Council. Charbonneau was first elected to the Newcastle City Council in 2021 at the age of 25, representing a new generation of young elected officials in Washington.
Charbonneau has consistently been a progressive leader during his time on the council. He is an outspoken advocate for affordable housing and mental health awareness. In June 2024, he submitted a motion to raise the Pride flag at City Hall as a symbol of support and recognition for the LGBTQ community, a motion that became controversial after half the council voted against it. Thanks in part to his outspoken leadership and community organizing, the council later reversed this decision and raised the pride flag.
Additionally, Charbonneau championed a package of tenant protection proposals that would have introduced measures to limit security deposits, late fees, and prohibit the requirement of social security numbers in the renter application process. While the ordinance failed, Charbonneau continues to be a steadfast voice in the fight for affordable housing. In 2025, he voted to reinstate language in the city's comprehensive plan that enforced equitable practices in housing development.
Paul Charbonneau represents a new generation of progressive leadership and will continue to make positive change on the council. We strongly recommend re-electing him to Position 6 on the Newcastle City Council.

Former Tacoma City Council member Anders Ibsen is running for mayor to leverage his experience to address affordable housing and public safety. Ibsen served on the council from 2012 to 2019, including one year as deputy mayor of Tacoma, and has also served as a commissioner on the Washington State Gambling Commission.
While on the council, Ibsen supported renter protections and raising the minimum wage to $15. Ibsen wants to continue to improve housing affordability by championing policies like permitting more ADUs, converting unused government-owned land into affordable housing, and making careful changes to the city's permitting and zoning codes. He feels fixing housing and mental health is the foundation for improving homelessness, and wants to divert those who are non-violent but suffering from a mental illness from the criminal legal system. He also prioritizes improving the lives of working families, listing childcare, green workforce training, and safe routes to school at the top of his agenda.
Ibsen is distinctly more progressive than his main rival, John Hines. Ibsen has a clear stance on protecting the LGBTQ community from the overreach of the federal government and prioritizes supporting working families over conservative businesses. It's worth noting that Tacoma's system of government empowers the city manager to oversee most of the city's day-to-day operations. Anders Ibsen is the progressive choice for Mayor of Tacoma.

He also prioritizes improving the lives of working families, listing childcare, green workforce training, and safe routes to school at the top of his agenda.
Ibsen is distinctly more progressive than his main rival, John Hines. Ibsen has a clear stance on protecting the LGBTQ community from the overreach of the federal government and prioritizes supporting working families over conservative businesses. It's worth noting that Tacoma's system of government empowers the city manager to oversee most of the city's day-to-day operations. Anders Ibsen is the progressive choice for Mayor of Tacoma.
