  • Zack Hudgins is a current representative of the 11th legislative district and the chair of the House Government Oversight Committee who is running for King County Elections Director. Hudgins' experience leading fair elections internationally, including Iraqi elections, along with his technology background at both Amazon and Microsoft make him extremely qualified for this position. Hudgins is running to increase accountability, improve access for underprivileged voters, and add more tools for ballot tracking and security. He has been a thoughtful and effective leader in the legislature who has been endorsed by a wide variety of our progressive partners.

    Hudgins’ opponents include current King County Deputy Elections Director Julie Wise, who was endorsed by The Stranger as well as far-right conservative Pastor Joe Fuiten. She has helped conduct more than 60 elections and is running to implement 24-hour ballot boxes, increase the number of ballot boxes, and has promised to maintain accountability and transparency. A third candidate, Christopher Roberts, is a progressive Shoreline City Council member who was chair of the Native American Caucus for the Washington State Democrats and was endorsed by our partner Equal Rights Washington. Although Roberts taught elections law at UW while earning his PhD, he does not share the depth of experience of Hudgins or Wise. Hudgins is the best choice for fair and accountable elections.

30th Legislative District

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

State Representative, Position #2

  • Carol Gregory photo
    Democrat

    Carol Gregory

    Website Facebook Endorsements
  • Rep. Carol Gregory is a former teacher and Federal Way School Board member who is running in the 30th Legislative District. Gregory has been a strong advocate for fully funding our kids’ schools since her days as a classroom teacher and through her tenure on the Federal Way School Board. She has also brought her experience from the school board to Olympia to fight for increased accountability and transparency with education funding and the state budget. Importantly, Gregory supports closing corporate tax loopholes and creating opportunities for working people.

    Gregory’s opponent, Republican Teri Hickel, is a conservative who previously worked as the CEO of the Federal Way Chamber of Commerce. Unfortunately, Hickel has closely aligned herself with the Senate Republicans in Olympia, whose obstruction and refusal to compromise nearly shut down our state government.

    Gregory’s passion for education and experience with financial management make her the clear choice in this race.

    Marion Yoshino

    Website Facebook Endorsements
  • Marion Yoshino is a progressive who brings great experience to the race. She is a former economic development manager in Des Moines and the only woman running for Port Commission Position 5. Her extensive experience working on port issues in South King County, from bringing more women and minority-run businesses to the area to holding the port accountable for environmental mitigations, make her highly qualified for the job. If you want a social justice progressive who can hit the ground running on all of the issues facing the port, Yoshino deserves your vote.

    Other candidates in the race include Herb Krohn, a Republican former labor lobbyist and 25-year activist for LGBTQ equality who has received the endorsement of both Equal Rights Washington and the King County Labor Council, as well as a number of conservative groups. Unfortunately, Krohn supports the decision to lease Terminal 5 to Shell Oil for Arctic drilling. Another candidate is Norman Sigler, a former candidate for Seattle mayor and the only person of color in the race. Sigler believes the port should be responsible for reconciliation with the dirty Duwamish River and all the pollution caused in the underprivileged communities near it. Mark Hennon is a port activist and journalist who says his main priority is that an environmentalist gets elected to the port and not an industry insider. Finally, moderate Ken Rogers is a former Delta Air Lines pilot and board member who has some smart ideas about supporting clean fuels and increasing transparency but has made some anti-labor comments and has not said whether or not he would vote for the Shell oil rig.

    There are two conservative candidates in the race as well, both of whom supported Shell's oil rig lease in a local debate: Daniel Reandeau and Darrell Bryan. Additionally, perennial candidate Richard Pope is not running an effective campaign.

Slatter will advocate for affordable housing, light rail and other transportation options, as well as economic development.

    Her opponents include Bellevue Parks and Community Services Board Vice-Chair Sherry Grindeland, who is also running with a focus on transportation, economic security, parks, and the Bellevue tree canopy. A third candidate, Michelle Hilhorst, is a conservative and former anti-light-rail candidate.

  • Debbie Bertlin is a current Mercer Island City Councilmember who is running to retain her seat in Position 7. Bertlin has been an exceptional leader on the council, helping usher in the south end Fire Station, advocating for the shuttle that moves central Islanders to the Park and Ride, and supporting the Island's first accessible and inclusive playground. She is also supportive of the transit station to increase access and mobility for all Island residents.

    Her opponents are Darren Gold and Traci Granbois. Gold is a relatively new resident of the Island who wants to bring more services and activities for children. Granbois is a conservative who opposes working transit options for all residents. Due to her track record, experience, and endorsements from progressive organizations, Bertlin would be an excellent choice in this race.

  • Lorena Gonzalez is a civil rights attorney and most recently legal counsel for Mayor Ed Murray who is running for the at-large Position 9 seat on the Seattle City Council. Gonzalez brings a valuable social and environmental justice perspective from her days as a migrant farm worker in Eastern Washington. Her grasp of the issues facing the city, from the minimum wage and transit to cleaning up the Duwamish, is impressive and vast. She brings a much needed perspective to the City Council.

    Gonzalez faces five opponents in this race, including Bill Bradburd, a progressive neighborhood activist who has made a name for himself as a "slow growth advocate". He is focused on improving renters’ rights, working with the legislature to legalize rent control, and reforming the police department. Also in the race is urban planner Alan Bassok, Omari-Tahir-Garrett, an activist who served 21 months in prison for assaulting former Mayor Paul Schell in 2001, Marine Corps veteran and government accountability advocate Thomas Tobin, and a fringe "anti-fascism" candidate Alex Tismerman. Due to her endorsements from our progressive partners and grasp of the issues, we highly recommend Gonzalez in this race.
