  • Since Patty Murray was first elected in 1992, the "Mom in Tennis Shoes" has been an incredible champion for women, working people, veterans, and an economy that works for everyone. The fourth-ranking Democrat in the Senate, she has earned the respect of Democrats and Republicans alike by forging agreements on the budget, education, women's health, and other critical issues, all while continuing to fight for working people across our state.

    Her opponent is former Washington State Republican Party Chair Chris Vance. Vance, a partisan operative who championed George W. Bush for president, has led a lackluster campaign and does not bring new ideas to the table. Murray's leadership, experience, and progressive values make her the clear choice in this race.

Congress

Depending on where you live, you may have one of the below congressional districts on your ballot.

  • Joe Pakootas is a community and business leader credited with turning around the Colville Tribe’s business enterprises during his time as CEO. He is passionate about addressing income inequality, protecting the environment, and protecting women’s access to health care. He is challenging conservative Congresswoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers, who is a top member of the Republican leadership in the House. She helped lead the House Republicans' extremely conservative agenda, including blocking emergency benefits for the unemployed, cutting $40 billion from food stamps, and opposing laws to end pay discrimination against women.

    Also running in the race is Independent Dave Wilson, who promises not to take PAC money, Libertarian Krystol McGee, and Republican Tom Home, who are not running effective campaigns. Pakootas would be a refreshing change of leadership for the 5th Congressional District.

  • Governor Jay Inslee has been a strong, principled leader on the important challenges facing Washington, including tackling transportation problems, increasing the minimum wage, and fighting global warming. He has also worked to fund schools by closing unjust tax loopholes and fought to close the gender pay gap. Before he was elected Governor in 2012, Inslee represented both sides of the Cascades in Congress, opposed the Iraq war, and worked to increase accountability and oversight for Wall Street banks.

    In contrast, Republican Bill Bryant opposes the Washington Voting Rights Act, is opposed to many public transportation projects, and is an obstacle to closing unjust tax loopholes. Also in this race are Democrats James Deal, Johnathon Dodds, and Patrick O'Rourke; Republicans Goodspaceguy and Bill Hirt; Mary Martin of the Socialist Workers Party; Independent Steve Rubenstein; David Blomstrom of the Fifth Republic Party; and Christian Pierre Joubert of the Holistic Party, none of whom are running competitive campaigns. While Inslee has his work cut out for him in his second term, we believe his strong moral compass and vision for improving our state make him the best choice in this race.

    Representative Mia Gregerson has long been a transportation advocate for SeaTac, where she has fought for light rail infrastructure, safe and complete streets, and transit-oriented development. She also wrote two pieces of important legislation to hold corporations accountable.

  • Rep. Eileen Cody is the Chair of the House Health and Wellness Committee and a leading advocate for reproductive freedom and addressing mental health. She worked on the Reproductive Parity Act and a bill that would end tax loopholes for corporate jets, big banks, and a dirty coal-fired power plant in order to fund basic health care.

    Cody is opposed by Democrat Brandon Kolding, a law enforcement officer who appears to hold many of the same values as Cody, though he does not share her broad support, as well as Republican Matthew Benson, who is not running a competitive campaign. For her tireless work on behalf of her community, Cody deserves your vote.

  • Rep. Joe Fitzgibbon is a progressive star in the Legislature and a real leader on conservation issues as the Chair of the House Environment Committee. He supports progressive tax reform, expanding transit, protecting the environment, and making it easier to participate in politics. Fitzgibbon championed a plan to help fund our schools through a price on carbon pollution.

    He faces Republican Andrew Pilloud, an anti-tax conservative who does not share Fitzgibbon's breadth of policy experience. Fitzgibbon's smart and effective leadership and endorsements from a wide variety of progressive advocates make him the best choice in this race.
