STATEWIDE BALLOT MEASURES


INITIATIVE #2066

VOTE NO

VOTE NO ON I-2066 TO KEEP MOVING FORWARD ON CLEAN ENERGY!

Website

Initiative 2066 is one of four initiatives to be put before voters that is
sponsored and funded by millionaire Brian Heywood and a cadre of Washington
Republicans. This initiative would raise energy bills and costs for families and
businesses by rolling back or eliminating modern standards that make homes more
energy efficient. In fact, a study from April found that passing I-2066 could
raise the utility bills of gas customers by an average of $150 per year.

Next to transportation, Washington's buildings are the second largest source of
pollution, contributing 25% of emissions. To that end, the state Legislature has
required that building construction reduce pollution through energy-efficient
electrification and other means, including rebates for electric appliances
instead of natural gas-fueled ones. Backed by powerful interest groups who want
to make more money off of households’ energy use, I-2066 aims to overturn the
parts of the state's building code that incentivize clean energy and clean air.

By rolling back some of these laws, I-2066 would force utility companies to
continue to invest in costly outdated technology. It would also jeopardize Puget
Sound Energy's ability to provide financial assistance to homeowners switching
from natural gas to electrification and potentially end neighborhood
electrification programs. Finally, it would prevent towns, cities, and counties
from making their own decisions that work best for their communities by forcing
them to subsidize the use of natural gas in appliances or buildings.

The fossil fuel industry and wealthy conservatives want to stop energy
efficiency and clean energy in order to increase their profits, saddling us with
higher energy bills. Don’t let them raise our costs while polluting our air —
vote No on I-2066 this year.

INITIATIVE #2109

VOTE NO

VOTE NO ON I-2109 TO KEEP THE CAPITAL GAINS TAX

Website

Washington Initiative 2109 (I-2109) represents a tax break for Washington’s
multi-millionaires and billionaires. If passed, the initiative would repeal
Washington's current capital gains excise tax on stock market profits greater
than $250,000, thereby eliminating more than $2.2 billion in funding for early
learning, childcare, K-12 education, and school construction over the next five
years.

All of Washington's kids, no matter their zip code or how much money their
parents earn, should have the same access to care and early learning. In its
first year, Washington’s capital gains tax provided funding for early learning
and schools to the tune of nearly $900 million, creating a significant positive
impact on kids and schools. Further, the education funding saved Washington’s
childcare system from collapse, avoiding the pitfalls that other states are
facing. Without the public revenue raised by the tax, childcare programs will be
cut, schools will stay underresourced, and much-needed repairs and construction
of schools will grind to a halt. This will hurt working families who rely on
childcare, students trying to learn with outdated textbooks, and rural
communities who need overdue upgrades to crumbling school buildings.

Washington's capital gains tax affects just 0.2% of the population, only the
wealthiest sliver of our state community. With exemptions for home sales,
retirement accounts, college funds, farm sales, and more, the remaining 99.8% of
us will never pay the capital gains tax. In 2023, fewer than 4,000 extremely
rich people paid the tax. Nevertheless, some of our state’s wealthiest people
have spent the last two years trying to repeal this tax or get it thrown out in
court, and they have failed. Now, they’re trying to convince voters to eliminate
it for them so they don’t have to pay.

Leading this effort is Republican mega-donor and hedge fund manager Brian
Heywood, who personally spent $6 million to put this measure on the ballot. He
and MAGA Republican party chair Jim Walsh would rather deprive our kids of
learning opportunities than pay what they actually owe in taxes. 

Vote No on I-2109.

INITIATIVE #2117

VOTE NO

VOTE NO ON I-2117 TO KEEP THE CCA IN PLACE

Website

The Climate Commitment Act (CCA) makes big polluters pay for the harm they cause
to our air, water, and communities and creates a roadmap for reducing emissions
over time. I-2117 is a multi-millionaire-funded initiative that would eliminate
the CCA and ban Washington from ever creating something similar.

Voting no on I-2117 is critical for our environment and communities. Without the
funds raised by the CCA, many popular programs would be terminated, threatened,
or reduced — including wildfire resilience, school-based bike programs, free bus
fare for students, updating our ferry system, restoring fish habitats, and
increasing the sustainable supply of water. The revenue from the Climate
Commitment Act also creates good-paying, local job opportunities such as making
homes more energy-efficient and installing heat pumps and solar panels. Ending
the CCA would shift the burden of paying for the impacts of pollution away from
polluters and onto our families and communities. 

Behind this initiative is Republican mega-donor and hedge fund manager Brian
Heywood, who has personally spent more than $6 million to put this measure on
the ballot. He’s partnered with MAGA Republican Party Chair Jim Walsh to roll
back the ways our elected leaders have made life better in Washington in recent
years with no care about the damage to our communities he leaves in his wake.

I-2117 would mean more toxic air pollution and wildfires, causing more kids and
seniors to suffer from asthma and heart conditions. The Climate Commitment Act
is our state's best shot at creating a healthy future for all of us in
Washington. Vote no on I-2117 to keep the CCA in place.

INITIATIVE #2124

VOTE NO

VOTE NO ON I-2124 TO REJECT THIS ATTEMPT TO TAKE AWAY LONG-TERM CARE INSURANCE

Website

If passed, Washington Initiative 2124 (I-2124) would eliminate long-term care
coverage for nearly 4 million of us, costing all of us more. I-2124 will drive
more people, disproportionately women, to leave their jobs to provide unpaid
care for loved ones who have disabilities, chronic illnesses, or are aging. 

I-2124 is misleading. Experts say it will cause a "death spiral" and quickly
bankrupt Washington's insurance funds. I-2124 only benefits the private
insurance industry, which charges women more, routinely jacks up premiums
without warning, and denies coverage to those with pre-existing conditions like
diabetes, cancer, or high blood pressure. Less than 5% of us have private
long-term care insurance, and I-2124 will send more people into debt or onto
Medicaid as they have no choice but to pay for long-term care costs out of their
own pockets.

Leading the effort to sabotage long-term care is Republican mega-donor and hedge
fund manager Brian Heywood, who has personally spent more than $6 million to put
four initiatives on the ballot, alongside MAGA Republican Party Chair Rep. Jim
Walsh. Their continued efforts to repeal any source of funding for public needs
like health care are not just deeply cynical but dangerous for the majority of
us. 

An estimated 70% of Washingtonians will need long-term care assistance at some
point in our lives due to an injury, illness, disability, or aging. This
short-sighted, millionaire-backed effort will leave most of us without a choice.
Vote no on I-2124 and reject this attempt to eliminate Washington's long-term
care insurance program.

coverage for nearly 4 million of us, costing all of us more. I-2124 will drive
more people, disproportionately women, to leave their jobs to provide unpaid
care for loved ones who have disabilities, chronic illnesses, or are aging. 

I-2124 is misleading. Experts say it will cause a "death spiral" and quickly
bankrupt Washington's insurance funds. I-2124 only benefits the private
insurance industry, which charges women more, routinely jacks up premiums
without warning, and denies coverage to those with pre-existing conditions like
diabetes, cancer, or high blood pressure. Less than 5% of us have private
long-term care insurance, and I-2124 will send more people into debt or onto
Medicaid as they have no choice but to pay for long-term care costs out of their
own pockets.

Leading the effort to sabotage long-term care is Republican mega-donor and hedge
fund manager Brian Heywood, who has personally spent more than $6 million to put
four initiatives on the ballot, alongside MAGA Republican Party Chair Rep. Jim
Walsh. Their continued efforts to repeal any source of funding for public needs
like health care are not just deeply cynical but dangerous for the majority of
us. 

An estimated 70% of Washingtonians will need long-term care assistance at some
point in our lives due to an injury, illness, disability, or aging. This
short-sighted, millionaire-backed effort will leave most of us without a choice.
Vote no on I-2124 and reject this attempt to eliminate Washington's long-term
care insurance program.

FEDERAL


PRESIDENT

Democrat

KAMALA HARRIS / TIM WALZ

Website Facebook Instagram (Twitter)


In this pivotal election, Vice President Kamala Harris embodies a hopeful vision
of unity, freedom, and progress for our country’s future. Harris has worked
closely with President Biden to implement a broad and impressive agenda. Before
that, she had a strong track record, ranging from leading the nation on
recidivism reduction as San Francisco district attorney to fighting for marriage
equality as California’s first woman attorney general to her hard-fought
progressive victories in the U.S. Senate.

Throughout her public service career, Harris has demonstrated integrity,
leadership, and tenacity in fighting for regular Americans. Her 2024 campaign
priorities include ensuring American billionaires pay what they owe in taxes
while alleviating the burden on middle-class families, strengthening the
Affordable Care Act, restoring and protecting reproductive health care across
the country, defending civil rights against the authoritarian vision of MAGA
Project 2025, making housing, childcare, and education more affordable for all
Americans, and more.

Joining Harris as a running mate on the Democratic ticket is Minnesota Governor
Tim Walz, a champion of working families and former high school teacher. Walz’s
community leadership experience ranges from serving as a local football coach to
representing a primarily Republican district as a Democrat in the U.S. House.
Walz’s priorities are firmly rooted in his Midwestern upbringing, union
membership, and Army veteran background. He worked to lower the prescription
cost of insulin to $35 for many Minnesotans. Walz believes in responsible gun
ownership, uplifting rural farmers, and protecting LGBTQ+ kids.

While we can continue to push Kamala Harris’ platform towards even more
progressive goals, it is clear that she is the best choice to make history as
our next president of the United States.

OTHER CANDIDATES

Harris is running against former President Donald Trump in this election. Since
the last presidential election, he has incited a coup to disrupt the peaceful
transfer of power, been convicted of 34 felony counts of falsified business
records, and continued to amplify white nationalist rhetoric. Donald Trump’s
explicit goal with another term is to further dismantle our democratic
institutions. His leaked MAGA Project 2025 would lead to an unprecedented
rollback of basic civil rights and freedoms that we all enjoy. In his single
term, Trump mishandled the national coronavirus response, separated thousands of
immigrant children from their families and locked them in cages, sought to strip
millions of Americans of health care, and eliminated climate protections that
safeguard our air and water. Despite losing the 2020 election, the effects of
his catastrophic presidency are still unfolding, most notably with the Supreme
Court justices he installed overturning our reproductive freedoms. Trump’s
running mate Ohio Governor JD Vance previously described Trump as “a total fraud
that is exploiting [his base]” but is now running as another dangerously
extremist figurehead. We cannot afford the damage and division of another Trump
term.

There are a number of third-party candidates in this race. Perennial Green Party
candidate Jill Stein is seeking the presidency again in this race. She sought
the party nomination after Cornel West left the party to run separately. Her top
priorities include climate policy that is even more aggressive on climate change
than the Green New Deal, withdrawing American support of Israel and Ukraine,
reforming the size and term limits of the Supreme Court, and securing free
education from pre-K through college.

Decorated scholar, author, and professor Cornel West is running as a Justice For
All Party candidate. Alongside his running mate Professor Melina Abdullah, West
is campaigning against Biden’s strong support for the Israeli military in the
ongoing war in Gaza. The rest of his platform is strongly justice-focused,
viewing issues Americans face in the full context of their history and
attempting to right historical wrongs while building community safety and
prosperity.

Libertarian Chase Oliver represents more moderate Libertarian leadership in the
face of a rising far-right faction within the party. He is an openly gay
candidate and first discovered the Libertarian Party at an Atlanta Pride event.
He is running with Mike ter Maat, a George H.W. Bush administration economist
and retired “pro-reform” police officer, to decriminalize marijuana, withdraw
aid to Ukraine and Israel, streamline citizenship pathways, defend NRA gun
ideals, eliminate the Federal Reserve, and more.

Also in this race is Socialism and Liberation Party candidate Claudia De la Cruz
running on an anti-capitalist platform. De la Cruz is an educator, working
mother, organizer, and theologian from the South Bronx. Her running mate Karina
Garcia is a Chicana organizer, working mother, and educator. Together the
socialist candidates have a leftist view of what will empower working people and
our country, including the nationalization of America’s top 100 largest
companies, cutting the U.S. military budget by 90% to fight for a peace agenda,
reproductive freedom for all, reparations for Black Americans, and criminalizing
corporate lobbying, amongst many other priorities.

Former Baltimore resident Rachele Fruit is running as a pro-Israel, pro-working
class candidate with the Socialist Workers Party candidate. Fruit believes that
the major parties are too capitalist while other socialist movements do not
stand against anti-semitism. The pillar of her campaign is upholding the state
of Israel as a refuge for the Jewish diaspora from rising anti-Jewish hatred,
and she believes strongly in Prime Minister Netanyahu’s vision, which includes
settlement expansion, Palestinian displacement, and the eradication of Hamas.
Her single-issue views are on the more extreme side of this debate.

Joseph Kishore, the national secretary of the Socialist Equality Party, is
running with Trotskyist Jerry White on the party’s ticket in this election.
Kishore’s platform is that of his party which seeks to mobilize the global
working class against international, late-stage capitalism. It criticizes the
United States’ support of Israel’s war in Gaza, warns of the rise of fascism
within Trumpism, and advocates for the nationalization of major corporations,
amongst other socialist goals.

Nirvana bassist and co-founder Krist Novoselić recently created his own new,
Washington-based party called the Cascade Party to serve as a centrist option.
Some priorities of the party include protecting family farming, reforming the
judicial appointment process to include voters, environmental conservation and
protection, and creating a hypercompetitive health care market where hospitals
can reference credit scores when evaluating a patient’s ability to pay.

Finally, Independent candidate Shiva Ayyadurai is a known anti-vaccine activist
who faced controversy when he claimed to have invented email as we know it when
he was a teenager. He lacks a campaign platform in this race but his past Senate
run seems to misunderstand progressive priorities adopted by the Democratic
party in recent elections.

Yakima-based doctor and hospital medical director who previously ran for
governor in 2020. He has served in leadership positions across medical
institutions, nonprofits, and small businesses. Garcia has received support from
some of Washington’s most prominent conservatives.

9TH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT


U.S. REPRESENTATIVE

There are two good candidates in this race with different policy positions and
priorities: incumbent Adam Smith and challenger Melissa Chaudhry. We recommend
Smith because of his overall track record in office and strong support from our
partner organizations.

Democrat

ADAM SMITH

Website Facebook Endorsements Instagram (Twitter)


Rep. Adam Smith is running for his 14th term in the U.S. House representing
Congressional District 9. Smith has a long track record of advocacy and
government work, including as a former lawyer, City of Seattle prosecutor, and
Washington state senator. In Congress, Smith serves on the New Democrat
Coalition and the Progressive Caucus. His district is the state’s most diverse –
with a strong immigrant population and sizable Asian, Hispanic, and Black
communities – and he has shown a demonstrated commitment to uplifting all
residents in the district.

Smith is an influential voice in Congress and has previously supported some
ambitious progressive bills such as the Green New Deal and the Medicare for All
Act. This term, he sponsored bills to curtail hedge fund buy-ups of
single-family homes, bring better job opportunities to foreign-trained, skilled
medical professionals, and create more pathways to economic security for
Americans without college degrees. Over the course of his tenure in Congress,
Smith has been criticized for his more hawkish foreign policy stances –
including supporting a larger U.S. role in the growing conflict in the Middle
East. His top priorities in this race include, amongst others, reforming our
criminal justice system, protecting LGBTQ+ civil rights, strengthening gun
violence prevention, and pushing strong multi-industry approaches to addressing
climate change.

We would like to see Smith continue to leverage his experience in office to pass
bold, progressive policies in another term representing Congressional District
9, and we believe he is the best choice to do so.

MELISSA CHAUDHRY

Website Facebook Endorsements (Twitter)


Democrat Melissa Chaudhry is mounting a grassroots challenge to Adam Smith in
this race. Chaudhry has a strong background in community service. She has worked
on international environmental initiatives as well as local housing and
sustainable agriculture projects. Currently, Chaudhry works for a nonprofit that
delivers hygiene products, like baby wipes and soap, across Washington to those
who need them.

As a mother with a husband who is a disabled veteran, Chaudhry grounds her
campaign and progressive values in personal experience. Chaudhry is running on a
platform that centers on peace, at the local and global levels. Chaudhry says
she is aligned with Rep. Pramila Jayapal and supported a ceasefire in Gaza
within weeks of the initial attack. If elected, she wants to defend civil
rights, take climate action, and ensure all Americans can afford the basics,
like shelter, groceries, gas, prescriptions, quality education, and childcare.
As a challenger to a sitting Democrat, her endorsements in this race are
impressive. While she faces an uphill fight against Smith, this is a safe
Democratic district and Chaudhry is a reasonable alternative if you're looking
for a very progressive voice for peace.

STATEWIDE


GOVERNOR

Democrat

BOB FERGUSON

Website Facebook Endorsements Instagram (Twitter)


Attorney General Bob Ferguson is running for governor on his impressive record
as an advocate for all Washingtonians. He has served as attorney general since
2012 and has won some of the biggest and most consequential legal cases in
Washington's history during that time.

Ferguson has a record of success in litigating against the Trump administration
and greedy corporations. When Donald Trump attacked access to contraception,
Ferguson took him to court and won. Ferguson has sued the federal government to
clean up the Hanford nuclear facility more quickly and has defended the
Affordable Care Act from the Trump Administration, helping preserve care for
825,000 Washingtonians. Other wins include protecting statewide water quality
from Trump's pro-pollution environmental policies, securing over $1 billion from
opioid manufacturers to fund treatment, and fighting back against child
detention laws.

All of these wins echo Ferguson's priorities in running for governor: to
continue fighting to improve health care access, protect consumers, and
strengthen the rights of working families in Washington. If elected, he plans to
scale up behavioral health care. Recognizing that currently "our jails are
collectively our largest mental health provider," he is committed to a large
number of interventions in our communities including prevention, adding more
health providers, and more peer service support. He's also committed to breaking
up corporate monopolies and reducing the cost of living, establishing Washington
as a clean energy hub, and exploring high-speed rail infrastructure.

Republican and former U.S. Representative Dave Reichert is running against
Ferguson. Reichert served Washington’s 8th Congressional District in the House
for 14 years. During that time, he took some bad votes against climate
protections and health care affordability and voted for a national abortion ban,
among other anti-abortion votes. He also previously served as the elected King
County sheriff, and worked on the prominent Green River Killer case.

While Reichert is adept at sounding more moderate than some of his MAGA
colleagues, his policy positions tell the truth, particularly when speaking to
friendly crowds of Republicans behind closed doors. Earlier this year, Reichert
said that he opposes marriage equality, which Washington voters passed in 2012
and became the law nationwide in 2015. More recently, Reichert finally admitted
that he plans to vote for Trump this November and cited his signed MAGA hat as
evidence of his Republican credentials. Finally, Reichert questioned humans'
impact on climate change, despite the overwhelming scientific consensus.
Reichert is clearly out of step with the values of most Washingtonians.

Bob Ferguson is an accomplished progressive who leads with integrity and grit.
He is the best choice to be the next governor of Washington.

Attorney General Bob Ferguson is running for governor on his impressive record
as an advocate for all Washingtonians. He has served as attorney general since
2012 and has won some of the biggest and most consequential legal cases in
Washington's history during that time.

Ferguson has a record of success in litigating against the Trump administration
and greedy corporations. When Donald Trump attacked access to contraception,
Ferguson took him to court and won. Ferguson has sued the federal government to
clean up the Hanford nuclear facility more quickly and has defended the
Affordable Care Act from the Trump Administration, helping preserve care for
825,000 Washingtonians. Other wins include protecting statewide water quality
from Trump's pro-pollution environmental policies, securing over $1 billion from
opioid manufacturers to fund treatment, and fighting back against child
detention laws.

All of these wins echo Ferguson's priorities in running for governor: to
continue fighting to improve health care access, protect consumers, and
strengthen the rights of working families in Washington. If elected, he plans to
scale up behavioral health care. Recognizing that currently "our jails are
collectively our largest mental health provider," he is committed to a large
number of interventions in our communities including prevention, adding more
health providers, and more peer service support. He's also committed to breaking
up corporate monopolies and reducing the cost of living, establishing Washington
as a clean energy hub, and exploring high-speed rail infrastructure.

Republican and former U.S. Representative Dave Reichert is running against
Ferguson. Reichert served Washington’s 8th Congressional District in the House
for 14 years. During that time, he took some bad votes against climate
protections and health care affordability and voted for a national abortion ban,
among other anti-abortion votes. He also previously served as the elected King
County sheriff, and worked on the prominent Green River Killer case.

LT. GOVERNOR

Democrat

DENNY HECK

Website Facebook Instagram (Twitter)


Democrat Denny Heck is running for a second term as Washington’s lieutenant
governor. Heck is a former representative who served the 10th Congressional
District from 2013 until 2021. His professional background also includes serving
five terms representing Legislative District 17 in the state House, starting
small businesses in his community, serving as the chief of staff to Gov. Booth
Gardner, and founding one of the nation’s largest statewide public affairs
networks.

Heck has fought for a number of Democratic priorities, including rebalancing our
upside-down tax code, investing in public infrastructure, reducing health care
costs, increasing workforce development and employment opportunities, and making
college more affordable. He's running to continue fighting for affordability,
health and safety, and opportunity for all Washingtonians.

Heck is running against Republican Dan Matthews, a veteran and former school
board member running to deprioritize public schools in favor of private
education, cut spending on social services, and roll back laws that hold
corporations accountable. He is not a progressive choice and doesn't represent
the needs of our communities.

We recommend Denny Heck for another term as the state’s lieutenant governor.

SECRETARY OF STATE

Democrat

STEVE HOBBS

Website Facebook Endorsements (Twitter)


Democrat Steve Hobbs is running for another term as Washington's secretary of
state. He first joined the office when he was appointed in 2021 and was retained
by voters in 2022. Hobbs, a first-generation Japanese American, previously
served as a lieutenant colonel in the Washington Army National Guard and a
four-term state senator for the 44th Legislative District.

In office, Hobbs has pursued a progressive set of priorities to ensure
Washington’s election integrity, making the state safe from attacks and
accessible to all Washington voters. He has worked on strengthening digital
security, preventing the spread of misinformation, and promoting voter outreach.
Unfortunately, in the last election, he expressed concerns about implementing
ranked-choice voting for fear of the fragility of public trust and the
accessibility of it to non-English-speaking voters.

In this race, Hobbs’ top two priorities are to ensure our elections remain both
secure and accessible for every eligible voter. While he has and will continue
to pursue security measures – such as cybersecurity investments and improvement
grants, Hobbs also believes it’s his job to restore community trust in him and
his office. He has also taken great strides to reach eligible voters from
historically disenfranchised communities, including formerly incarcerated
voters.

Republican Dale Whitaker, who owns a small tax business, is also in this race.
Whitaker serves as the executive director of We Believe We Vote, which claims to
educate Christian voters by supporting conservatives with some of the most
extreme views in the state, including strong anti-abortion stances, homophobic
positions, and a belief that the Christian Bible should be the ultimate guiding
text for leaders. In this race, Whitaker’s top priority is election transparency
and security. Unfortunately, the greatest threat to our democratic, electoral
processes has been incursions from the far-right, of which Whitaker is
affiliated. Washington voters deserve a secretary of state who is above
divisive, conspiracy-based politics.

Hobbs is the best choice for Washington's secretary of state.

STATE TREASURER

Democrat

MIKE PELLICCIOTTI

Website Facebook Instagram


Democratic incumbent Mike Pellicciotti is running for re-election to Washington
state treasurer. Pellicciotti was first elected to the position in 2020. Before
that, Pellicciotti served as a representative for Legislative District 30 in the
state House, an assistant state attorney general, and a deputy prosecuting
attorney for King County.

In public office, he has advocated for transparency and public accountability.
He has never accepted corporate campaign donations and previously worked to make
the Legislature’s records open for public view. As a treasurer, he has
prioritized economic security and prosperity for all, especially working
families and retirees. In office, he has worked to strengthen budget reserves,
increase pension funds, and manage debt costs.

Republican Sharon Hanek is challenging Pellicciotti in this race. Hanek is a
certified public accountant and serves as the vice chair of the Pierce County
Planning Commission. Hanek has run for office unsuccessfully several times
before, including losing by more than 17% statewide in her 2012 run for state
Treasurer. Hanek is the founder of My Family My Choice, a far-right group
aligned with Moms for Liberty that wants to ban books and promotes conspiracy
theories about public schools. We can't afford to give Hanek a statewide
platform for her dangerous, far-right agenda.

Pellicciotti has been a reliable Democratic leader in the Washington state
treasurer’s office and he has earned your vote for another term.

STATE AUDITOR

Democrat

PAT MCCARTHY

Website Endorsements


Incumbent Democrat Pat McCarthy is running for a third term as Washington state
auditor. McCarthy made history as the state’s first woman auditor when she took
office in 2017. Before that, she served Pierce County in the elected roles of
both executive and auditor and was previously a member of the Tacoma School
Board, including as board president. She serves in multiple community leadership
positions including on the Asian Pacific Cultural Center Advisory Board and with
the Pierce County Sexual Assault Center.

In her first two terms, McCarthy has worked hard to bring accountability and
transparency to the auditor’s office. She previously launched important
investigations into both white-collar crime and unemployment benefit cases and
even oversaw the largest fraud case in state history pertaining to
misappropriated local housing funds. Looking towards another term, McCarthy
wants to prioritize public and private sector integrity, responsible resource
use, and advancing the office’s technology infrastructure to serve the public
better.

Spokane County Republican Party leader Matt Hawkins is challenging incumbent
McCarthy in this race. Hawkins created the We The People interactive calendar,
which details events in U.S. history that he deems important. He has run for
elected office before including vying for the top Republican Party job in the
state last year, as well as the Washington state Senate in 2018. In this race,
Hawkins boasts a typically conservative platform which includes continuing to
cast doubt on the security of our local elections and worsening the imbalance in
our state’s tax code.

ATTORNEY GENERAL

Democrat

NICK BROWN

Website Endorsements Instagram (Twitter)


Nick Brown is a former U.S. attorney for Western Washington running to protect
the climate, our democracy, and Washingtonians' civil rights. Before his
appointment by the Biden Administration in 2021, Brown worked as the general
counsel for Gov. Jay Inslee. He also served in the US Army as a judge advocate
general (JAG) officer, where he represented soldiers and the Army in legal
matters, followed by working as a prosecutor. Brown has also served as chair of
the attorney general’s Advisory Subcommittee on Civil Rights.

As the first Black U.S. attorney in the state's history, Brown notes that
Washington is experiencing the highest number of hate crimes in 20 years. He
wants to use the attorney general's office to implement laws that prosecute
domestic terrorists, especially the burgeoning white supremacist movements that
have threatened local leaders and committed violent hate crimes.

In our interview with Brown, he identified his top three priorities as
strengthening the operations of the office, holding local jurisdictions
accountable for upholding the law, and enforcing environmental protections. He
emphasized his work with the attorney general's office as a special assistant
attorney general and said that he would strive to build a more representative
office and ensure they resolve problems with legal standards that led to the
office receiving a fine last year. One of Brown's biggest accomplishments as an
attorney was helping write Initiative 1639, Safe Schools and Safe Communities,
which makes it illegal for anyone under 21 to own a semi-automatic rifle. He
later defended the law against the NRA. Building on that success, Brown wants to
continue to enforce laws against deadly weapons and defend the state against
voter suppression, wage theft, and more. Brown also wants to enforce
environmental laws strictly and uphold strong consumer protections by, for
example, pursuing the ongoing investigation on monopolistic practices by
landlords and rental companies to keep prices inflated.

Republican and Pasco attorney Pete Serrano is running to bring a conservative
agenda to the attorney general's office. Serrano is the board president and
general counsel of an organization that fights commonsense gun laws and public
health mandates, and he was recently elected mayor of Pasco. He states that
while he disagrees with these laws he will follow the state Constitution, but
the Seattle Times also reported that he intended to remain "actively engaged"
with the organization in a Facebook video on the organization's page. If elected
he promises to "Make Washington Safe Again" and make the office more
transparent. Serrano is not a progressive choice in this race.

Brown is the clear choice in the race to be Washington's next attorney general.

Website Endorsements Instagram (Twitter)


Nick Brown is a former U.S. attorney for Western Washington running to protect
the climate, our democracy, and Washingtonians' civil rights. Before his
appointment by the Biden Administration in 2021, Brown worked as the general
counsel for Gov. Jay Inslee. He also served in the US Army as a judge advocate
general (JAG) officer, where he represented soldiers and the Army in legal
matters, followed by working as a prosecutor. Brown has also served as chair of
the attorney general’s Advisory Subcommittee on Civil Rights.

As the first Black U.S. attorney in the state's history, Brown notes that
Washington is experiencing the highest number of hate crimes in 20 years. He
wants to use the attorney general's office to implement laws that prosecute
domestic terrorists, especially the burgeoning white supremacist movements that
have threatened local leaders and committed violent hate crimes.

In our interview with Brown, he identified his top three priorities as
strengthening the operations of the office, holding local jurisdictions
accountable for upholding the law, and enforcing environmental protections. He
emphasized his work with the attorney general's office as a special assistant
attorney general and said that he would strive to build a more representative
office and ensure they resolve problems with legal standards that led to the
office receiving a fine last year. One of Brown's biggest accomplishments as an
attorney was helping write Initiative 1639, Safe Schools and Safe Communities,
which makes it illegal for anyone under 21 to own a semi-automatic rifle. He
later defended the law against the NRA. Building on that success, Brown wants to
continue to enforce laws against deadly weapons and defend the state against
voter suppression, wage theft, and more. Brown also wants to enforce
environmental laws strictly and uphold strong consumer protections by, for
example, pursuing the ongoing investigation on monopolistic practices by
landlords and rental companies to keep prices inflated.

Republican and Pasco attorney Pete Serrano is running to bring a conservative
agenda to the attorney general's office. Serrano is the board president and
general counsel of an organization that fights commonsense gun laws and public
health mandates, and he was recently elected mayor of Pasco. He states that
while he disagrees with these laws he will follow the state Constitution, but
the Seattle Times also reported that he intended to remain "actively engaged"
with the organization in a Facebook video on the organization's page. If elected
he promises to "Make Washington Safe Again" and make the office more
transparent. Serrano is not a progressive choice in this race.

Brown is the clear choice in the race to be Washington's next attorney general.

COMMISSIONER OF PUBLIC LANDS

Democrat

DAVE UPTHEGROVE

Website Facebook Endorsements Instagram (Twitter)


King County Council chair Dave Upthegrove is running for commissioner of public
lands to fill the vacancy left by Hilary Franz. Upthegrove previously served in
the Legislature for five terms, where he made history as the first openly gay
representative from outside of Seattle. He joined the King County Council in
2013, where he has been a strong advocate for climate concerns and environmental
protections. 

Upthegrove has an inclusive vision for using the office to improve the quality
of life for all Washingtonians. Upthegrove wants to mitigate the damage of
wildfire seasons, bring good jobs and services to rural Washington, preserve
mature legacy forests, expand recreational opportunities on public lands, and
center the idea of environmental justice to guide policy. While he lauds the
incumbent Franz for her work on wildfire prevention, Upthegrove wants to be more
ambitious when it comes to reforming forestry policies. He believes the
department needs a more honest accounting of the carbon impacts of forestry and
timber work, which he is well positioned to lead having managed King County's
forest carbon program. Upthegrove also wants to use his experience and
relationships in the Legislature to help pass laws and increase funding for the
department's conservation work.

Former congresswoman Jaime Herrera Beutler is back on the ballot this election.
In 2022, she lost her re-election primary to ultra-conservative Joe Kent and
current Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez. In Congress, Herrera Beutler voted with
Trump more than 80% of the time, though she has received criticism from her
party after voting to impeach Donald Trump following the January 6th
insurrection. Herrera Beutler has overwhelmingly opposed bills that protect our
environment including the 2021 Build Back Better Act and the 2022 Inflation
Reduction Act, both of which contained bold policies to alleviate the climate
crisis. She lacks a detailed campaign platform in this race but mentions
wildfire mitigation, habitat preservation, and public land use as top issues.

The race for this open seat will determine whether our state will be a leader in
fighting climate change, protecting our forests, and preventing forest fires or
bow to the demands of big timber companies. Upthegrove's environmental track
record in office and endorsements from Washington Conservation Action, the
Sierra Club, and other environmental champions make him the clear choice in this
race.

SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION

Non-Partisan

CHRIS REYKDAL

Website Facebook Endorsements Instagram (Twitter)


Incumbent Chris Reykdal is running for a third term in the Office of the
Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI). Reykdal has been a strong champion
for public education as superintendent, during his six years in the Legislature,
and in 14 years on local school boards and leadership positions at educational
institutions.

The superintendent's office provides resources and guidance on language access,
student safety, school district budgeting, and student needs to Washington's 295
public school districts and six state-tribal education compact schools. In
office, Reykdal has worked to reduce learning gaps, raise educator salaries,
increase free meal access, and expand dual and tribal language learning
programs.

In our interview, Reykdal acknowledged that the pandemic and declining birth
rates have affected enrollment rates in public schools. Despite this challenge,
he was proud that districts have made gains in other areas like retaining
teachers of color. He identified the decrease in state funding, relative to
inflation, as a fundamental challenge facing public schools. He reiterated his
commitment to advocating for the Legislature to increase funding per student and
allow districts to fund special education. He also expressed his commitment to
keeping schools public, rejecting vouchers, and improving mental health support
for students. This year, OSPI offered legislation to increase paraeducator pay
to attract and retain these critical classroom supports. Finally, he cited his
experience running a large state agency for the last eight years as a key
strength compared to his less experienced opponent.

Gig Harbor School Board member David Olson is challenging Reykdal on a
reactionary right-wing platform. Like many conservative school board directors,
he welcomes conservative, politically motivated censorship that would block
access to books and multicultural programming. Olson also wants to employ strict
guidelines in our schools that penalize students who are struggling the most.
According to The Seattle Times, he told the Washington Republican Party
convention "that if every high school graduate opted for the skilled trades
instead of pursuing a four-year degree, universities 'could all go bankrupt and
that would save America.'" Olson's extremism and conspiracy theories are
completely disqualifying for someone looking to lead our state's public
education system.

Reykdal has strong support from educators across the state and has earned your
vote for re-election.

INSURANCE COMMISSIONER

Democrat

PATTY KUDERER

Website Facebook Endorsements


State senator and attorney Patty Kuderer is running for Washington insurance
commissioner. She has served the 48th Legislative District since 2015 when she
was appointed to the state House before being appointed to fill the Senate seat
vacancy in 2017.

Kuderer has been one of the most active sponsors of progressive bills in the
Legislature. This year, she was the primary sponsor of a successful bill to
ensure Narcan is available in Washington schools. As a secondary sponsor, she
helped to pass a slate of progressive bills, including ensuring that valid
ballots are not unduly rejected, limiting the ability to bring firearms to
public places like zoos, transit stations, and libraries, and aligning state and
federal financial aid programs. Kuderer is now campaigning for insurance
commissioner on a progressive platform that includes exploring universal health
care, reducing auto insurance costs, expanding cancer screening for
firefighters, and improving access to climate change insurance for homeowners
and businesses.

Republican state Senator Phil Fortunato is also running for the commissioner
position. Fortunato was first elected to serve the 31st Legislative District in
Olympia in 2016 as a representative before being immediately appointed to an
open Senate seat. Outside public service, his professional background is in
erosion control and stormwater management. In the Legislature, Fortunato was the
primary sponsor of many far-right bills, including legislation to strip abortion
rights for some Washingtonians and to oppose commonsense gun safety policy. If
he's elected insurance commissioner, Fortunato wants to remove regulations that
keep health care costs lower. He is vehemently opposed to universal health care
policies that would allow all Washingtonians, regardless of income status, to
access the care and medicine they need.

We recommend Patty Kuderer for Washington insurance commissioner because of her
strong background in public service and clear vision for the office.

LEGISLATIVE RACES

Depending on where you live, you may have one of the below legislative races on
your ballot.


30TH LEGISLATIVE DISTRICT


STATE REPRESENTATIVE, POSITION #1

Democrat

JAMILA TAYLOR

Website Facebook Endorsements Instagram


Rep. Jamila Taylor is running for re-election to the 30th Legislative District,
House Position 1 seat. First elected in 2020, Taylor is an attorney who
advocates for crime victims and has an extensive record of volunteer service.
She previously served as the statewide advocacy counsel for the Northwest
Justice Project, where she managed a network of legal aid attorneys, and she has
additionally worked on youth intervention programs and other violence reduction
efforts. Taylor is a former elected chair of the state Black Members Caucus,
where she advocated for racial equity for all Washingtonians. She chairs the
Developmental Advocacy Caucus and is the First Vice Chair of the Members of
Color Caucus.

In Taylor's second term, she sponsored several important bills, including
creating an investigation unit for missing Indigenous women, developing
opportunities for climate-ready workforce programs, and providing free school
meals for hungry students. She's also secured millions of dollars locally for
youth violence prevention programs, funding therapeutic court interventions for
drug-related crimes, supporting small business development, adding
transit-oriented housing near the Redondo Heights light rail station, and much
more.

Republican Melissa Hamilton is challenging Taylor from the right. Hamilton has
worked in several positions in law enforcement, including as a records
specialist and administrative assistant. Hamilton's agenda, including references
to "classroom agendas outside of academics," echoes the state's larger
conservative movement to ban books and prevent historically accurate discussions
about race in schools. Hamilton's far-right values are clearly out of step with
the voters of the 30th District.

Taylor has been a stalwart advocate for progress for all. We recommend
re-electing Jamila Taylor for House Position 1 in the 30th Legislative District.

STATE REPRESENTATIVE, POSITION #2

Democrat

KRISTINE REEVES

Website Facebook Endorsements Instagram (Twitter)


Rep. Kristine Reeves is running for re-election to Position 2 in the 30th
Legislative District. As a working mom of two who went through the foster care
system as a child, Reeves' focus in the Legislature has been improving lives for
families and advocating for affordable housing. Reeves also served recently as
the interim chair of the Legislative Black Caucus.

This year, Reeves sponsored successful bills to protect consumers in the solar
power market and open opportunities for urban agriculture. She has also been a
champion for paid family and medical leave, gun safety, linking students with
apprenticeships, and making childcare more affordable. If she's re-elected,
Reeves wants to continue building on her accomplishments in reducing the cost of
education, medical care, and childcare.

While Reeves has been a progressive leader on many issues, she's taken a more
cautious approach to others, including voting against taxing polluters and
opposing eviction protections in 2019. Thankfully, she voted in favor of several
important housing bills since then, including this year's rent stabilization
bill.

Republican Quentin Morris is challenging Reeves in this race. He serves as the
Washington Interscholastic Activities Association representative for Federal Way
Public Schools, where he ran a campaign decrying "critical race theory." Morris
has no listed policy proposals in this campaign and it is clear he doesn't have
a progressive or particularly community-oriented vision for the district.

Reeves' experience improving the lives of children, families, and working people
makes her the best choice for state House from the 30th Legislative District,
Position 2.

bill.

Republican Quentin Morris is challenging Reeves in this race. He serves as the
Washington Interscholastic Activities Association representative for Federal Way
Public Schools, where he ran a campaign decrying "critical race theory." Morris
has no listed policy proposals in this campaign and it is clear he doesn't have
a progressive or particularly community-oriented vision for the district.

Reeves' experience improving the lives of children, families, and working people
makes her the best choice for state House from the 30th Legislative District,
Position 2.

KRISTINE REEVES

Website Facebook Endorsements Instagram (Twitter)


Rep. Kristine Reeves is running for re-election to Position 2 in the 30th
Legislative District. As a working mom of two who went through the foster care
system as a child, Reeves' focus in the Legislature has been improving lives for
families and advocating for affordable housing. Reeves also served recently as
the interim chair of the Legislative Black Caucus.

This year, Reeves sponsored successful bills to protect consumers in the solar
power market and open opportunities for urban agriculture. She has also been a
champion for paid family and medical leave, gun safety, linking students with
apprenticeships, and making childcare more affordable. If she's re-elected,
Reeves wants to continue building on her accomplishments in reducing the cost of
education, medical care, and childcare.

While Reeves has been a progressive leader on many issues, she's taken a more
cautious approach to others, including voting against taxing polluters and
opposing eviction protections in 2019. Thankfully, she voted in favor of several
important housing bills since then, including this year's rent stabilization
bill.

Republican Quentin Morris is challenging Reeves in this race. He serves as the

31ST LEGISLATIVE DISTRICT


STATE REPRESENTATIVE, POSITION #1

Democrat

SARA SUTTERFIELD



Democrat Sara Sutterfield is a member of Friends of the Carbon Canyon, a local
conservation group, and volunteers with the Foothills Historical Society in
Buckley.

Her campaign for 31st Legislative District, Position 1 is focused on four main
priorities: advocating for a universal health care system, promoting inclusive
and comprehensive education, environmental stewardship, and investing in
small-town infrastructure. Specifically on the last point, Sutterfield says that
while tourism has played an important role in the local economies of small
towns, there needs to be equal investment into reliable transportation and
quality public facilities. If elected, she states that she will focus on more
funding for education, comprehensive anti-discrimination laws, and criminal
legal reform.

Sutterfield is challenging attorney and Republican incumbent Drew Stokesbary,
who is running for another term representing Legislative District 31. Stokesbary
voted against bills that would have made the wealthy pay what they owe in taxes,
protected the privacy of consumer data, and reduced gun violence in Washington.
He also voted against an abortion shield law that protects Washington state
health care workers when they provide abortion care to patients from Washington
and from out of state.

Sutterfield's values are much more progressive than Stokesbary's. While she
likely faces an uphill battle on the ballot, Sara Sutterfield is the better
choice for state House from the 31st Legislative District in Position 1.

STATE REPRESENTATIVE, POSITION #2

Democrat

BRIAN GUNN

Website


Democrat Brian Gunn is vying for the Legislative District 31, Position 2 seat in
the state House which is currently held by retiring Rep. Eric Robertson. Gunn
works in quality assurance for Boeing and serves as a Democratic precinct
committee officer. If elected, he would be flipping the seat from red to blue.

Gunn’s candidacy is strongly grounded in local issues. If elected, he wants to
make infrastructure upgrades such as maintenance to Highways 164 and 410 as well
as the construction of an Enumclaw-Buckley bridge. Gunn also wants to improve
the district’s water quality and invest in our local schools. In the bigger
picture, he supports reproductive freedom and efforts to fix Washington’s
upside-down tax code. In this race, Gunn has received the sole endorsement from
the Washington State Labor Council, amongst an array of other strong Democratic
support.

Republican Orting mayor Joshua Penner is also running to succeed Robertson.
Penner is the founder of a company dealing with government data. In this race,
he is running a typically conservative platform that does not reflect the
community’s most pressing needs. His top priorities include taking us backward
on gun violence prevention, pouring funds into militarizing our police far
beyond community needs, and promoting MAGA-style conspiracies about the public
education curriculum.

Gunn is the best choice to represent the 31st Legislative District in Position 2
because of his optimistic platform and community support.

Sal Mungia is an awarded and experienced local attorney running for retiring
Justice Susan Owens’ Position 2 on the state Supreme Court. Mungia is a partner
at a Tacoma- and Seattle-based firm where he works in trial and appellate law
primarily focused on injury law and medical malpractice. He has a long history
of leadership and service including, among other experiences, as the former

Justice Coalition, and a cooperating attorney with the ACLU of Washington.

Mungia’s career has been strongly community-oriented. He has done significant

has earned wide and impressive support in his bid for the court including from
sitting Supreme Court Justice Yu and Chief Justice González.

Federal Way Municipal Court Judge Dave Larson is also in this race. Before

JUSTICE, POSITION #8

STEVEN GONZÁLEZ

Website Facebook Endorsements


Chief Justice Steven González is running unopposed for re-election to Position 8
on the Washington Supreme Court. González was first appointed to the bench in
2012 and was chosen by his peers to serve in the chief justice position in 2021,
making him Washington’s first chief justice of color. Before becoming a judge,
González’s law career ranged from international business law and terrorism
prosecution to civil rights pro bono work. He serves on the board of the
Washington Leadership Institute to provide opportunities and support for legal
professionals from backgrounds and identities that have previously been excluded
from legal spaces.

In his leadership role on the state’s top court, González has sought to make the
legal system a place for justice and dignity for all Washingtonians. He worked
to make our courts more accessible to non-English speakers. González has
received bipartisan support in past races but consistently received support from
some of the state’s top progressive leaders. González has been ranked highly by
some of the state’s most progressive bar associations including QLaw, Latina/o
Bar Association of Washington, Washington Women Lawyers, and more.

We recommend Justice Steven González for another term in Position 8 on
Washington's Supreme Court to continue bringing just and experienced judicial
leadership to our top court.

KING COUNTY SUPERIOR COURT


SUPERIOR COURT JUDGE, POSITION #41

PAUL M. CRISALLI

Website Endorsements


Judge Paul Crisalli is running to be retained on the King County Superior Court.
Crisalli was first appointed last year by Governor Jay Inslee. Before that, he
spent more than ten years as the state’s assistant attorney general, beginning
his tenure arguing for worker compensation and safety in Washington courts. The
long view of his career is marked by impressive judicial experience and public
service, including a clerkship for Washington State Supreme Court Justice Mary
Fairhurst and a stint as chair of the King County Bar Association’s appellate
section.

Crisalli has already proven himself to be a fair, thoughtful, and competent
judge in his first year on the King County Superior Court. He has earned the
respect of many judicial leaders for his record. Crisalli was rated
Exceptionally Well Qualified by the Latino/a Bar Association of Washington and
Well Qualified by a handful of other local bar associations. He is endorsed by
the King County Democrats, a number of local legislative district Democratic
groups, the current attorney general Bob Ferguson, progressive state lawmakers,
and each sitting Washington State Supreme Court justice.

Crisalli is running against Judge Andrew Schach who serves as an administrative
law judge and pro bono immigration attorney. Shach has earned accolades in his
legal career including the 2024 Washington Rising Stars list. However, he lacks
the comparative experience and qualifications of Judge Crisalli.

Judge Paul Crisalli has earned your vote to be retained on the King County
Superior Court in Judge Position 41 to continue his impartial and qualified
judicial leadership.

PAUL M. CRISALLI

Website Endorsements


Judge Paul Crisalli is running to be retained on the King County Superior Court.
Crisalli was first appointed last year by Governor Jay Inslee. Before that, he
spent more than ten years as the state’s assistant attorney general, beginning
his tenure arguing for worker compensation and safety in Washington courts. The
long view of his career is marked by impressive judicial experience and public
service, including a clerkship for Washington State Supreme Court Justice Mary
Fairhurst and a stint as chair of the King County Bar Association’s appellate
section.

Crisalli has already proven himself to be a fair, thoughtful, and competent
judge in his first year on the King County Superior Court. He has earned the
respect of many judicial leaders for his record. Crisalli was rated
Exceptionally Well Qualified by the Latino/a Bar Association of Washington and
Well Qualified by a handful of other local bar associations. He is endorsed by
the King County Democrats, a number of local legislative district Democratic
groups, the current attorney general Bob Ferguson, progressive state lawmakers,
and each sitting Washington State Supreme Court justice.

Crisalli is running against Judge Andrew Schach who serves as an administrative
law judge and pro bono immigration attorney. Shach has earned accolades in his
legal career including the 2024 Washington Rising Stars list. However, he lacks
the comparative experience and qualifications of Judge Crisalli.

Judge Paul Crisalli has earned your vote to be retained on the King County
Superior Court in Judge Position 41 to continue his impartial and qualified
judicial leadership.
