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.Last updated: 2023-04-05Patty Murray

State Senator Pramila Jayapal has a long history of effective civic leadership on immigration reform, economic fairness, civil liberties, and women’s issues. She founded OneAmerica (formerly Hate Free Zone) in 2001 and built it into the largest immigrant rights organization in the state and a national model. She also played a key role on the Mayoral Advisory Committee that negotiated Seattle’s $15 minimum wage. As a state senator, she has been tireless and effective speaking out for racial equity, voting access, and a more progressive budget. We recommend Pramila in this crowded field of progressives running to replace Rep. Jim McDermott.Last updated: 2023-04-05

Representative Adam Smith is a moderate Democrat who has been a reliable vote on progressive taxation and immigration reform. Smith has worked hard to connect with and represent his new constituents after the 9th CD became one of the most racially diverse districts in the state during the redistricting process. He continues to be an advocate for greater equality, and fought House Republicans' efforts to slash food stamps in the most recent farm bill.
A good candidate facing Smith is Jesse Wineberry, a former state representative endorsed by the United Black Clergy of Washington who was inspired to run by Bernie Sanders. Also in this race is Democrat Daniel Smith, another "Berniecrat," Doug Basler, an unknown Republican from Kent, and Independent Jeary Flener.

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.Last updated: 2023-04-05Jay Inslee

Jeff Sprung is a lawyer and former Planned Parenthood Votes board member who is running to increase transparency and accountability in state government. He previously worked as an Assistant U.S. Attorney investigating and prosecuting corruption in low-income housing programs. He supports increasing whistleblower protections to better identify fraud and potential inefficiencies in government. Sprung is running the strongest campaign and has received the most support from our progressive partners.
Former Pierce County Auditor and current Pierce County Executive Pat McCarthy is another good candidate in this race. She is running to use her experience managing large budgets and agencies to improve efficiency and transparency.
Their opponent is the socially-conservative Republican Senator Mark Miloscia, who earned dual endorsements along with Sprung from our labor partners at SEIU 925, SEIU 775, and the Washington Federation of State Employees. Miloscia also earned a sole endorsement from the Washington State Council of Fire Fighters. Unfortunately, Miloscia supports allowing employers to deny coverage for birth control and co-sponsored a bill that could ban many forms of birth control. We're concerned that if elected, Miloscia could use his office to launch politically-fueled investigations of Planned Parenthood and other women's health groups.
Also in this race is Independent Mark Wilson and No Party Preference candidate David Golden. Sprung is the best choice in this race.Last updated: 2023-04-05Jeff Sprung

Attorney General Bob Ferguson's accomplishments in four years are impressive. From delivering millions of dollars back to consumers who were wronged by fraudulent corporations and his ongoing battle with the federal government to clean up the Hanford nuclear waste site to successfully fighting two Tim Eyman initiatives, Ferguson has been a strong and effective advocate for people in Washington.

The Progressive Voters Guide recommends Guy Palumbo in this race. He is a small business owner and former Amazon.com employee who now serves as a fire commissioner and as the chair of the Snohomish County Planning Commission. Palumbo is running an energetic campaign to reduce traffic gridlock and solve our transportation problems, much like he did as an activist in 2015 when he successfully advocated for additional funding for highway 522. Palumbo strongly supports reproductive freedom and believes we need to close tax loopholes to fund education.
Palumbo faces Republican Mindie Wirth and Democratic Rep. Luis Moscoso in this race. Wirth is a traditional Republican who would be an obstacle to fixing our state’s regressive tax system and closing loopholes. Moscoso is an existing House member and labor leader. We believe that Palumbo offers the strongest potential as a member of the state Senate and is the best choice in this race.Last updated: 2023-04-05Guy Palumbo

Jason Ritchie is a rising star who is running an energetic campaign to defeat the incumbent Republican Rep. Jay Rodne. Ritchie started a business remodeling homes for people with disabilities after his father had a stroke and suffered from limited mobility.
The incumbent Rodne was widely criticized this year for making offensive anti-Islamic statements that shook Snoqualmie's many hardworking Muslim families. Rodne has become an embarrassment to the people he is supposed to represent. Ritchie's strong commitment to fully funding education, ensuring healthcare access for all, and stronger protections for the environment would make him a welcome change for this district.Last updated: 2023-04-05Jason Ritchie

Gael Tarleton has been a strong advocate for environmental causes such as Governor Jay Inslee's initiative to reduce carbon pollution. She sponsored bills during her first term in the House to strengthen the maritime industry, protect the environment, and improve access to health care, though we were disappointed last year when she vocally opposed Seattle's "Honest Elections" transparency law, which passed with more than 60 percent approval. Tarleton is running unopposed, and due to her mostly reliable progressive record, deserves your vote.Last updated: 2023-04-05

Lisa Wellman started out as a public school teacher before building a very successful career in marketing and technology, including serving as a vice president at Apple. Wellman is running to ensure our schools are fully funded, reduce traffic gridlock, and protect women's health.
Wellman is challenging incumbent Republican Sen. Steve Litzow. Litzow voted with his Republican Party leadership 97 percent of the time during the 2016 legislative session. His commitment to voting in lockstep with the extremely conservative members of his caucus the vast majority of the time has made him an obstacle to progress on many education, environmental, labor, and women's health issues. Also in this race is Libertarian Bryon Simonson, who is not running a competitive campaign.

Rep. Joan McBride is the former Mayor of Kirkland who hit the ground running her first two sessions in the legislature. She sponsored numerous bills, including one to ensure homeless youth have access to health care. McBride was also a strong advocate of transportation options that work for everyone, supporting women's health, LGBTQ equality, and Puget Sound cleanup.
She is opposed by libertarian Benjamin Judah Phelps, who is not running a credible campaign. McBride deserves your vote.Last updated: 2023-04-05Joan McBride

Chief Justice Barbara Madsen has led our state Supreme Court in a fair and impartial manner through a series of high profile cases. First elected in 1992, Madsen was only the third woman to ever serve on our highest court. She has won numerous awards for her service, especially for her work creating opportunities for young female lawyers and judges. Despite Republican efforts to politicize our court over rulings about education funding and several Tim Eyman initiatives, Madsen has maintained a steadfast commitment to upholding equal justice under law.
Madsen is opposed by Greg Zempel, a Republican prosecutor from Kittitas County. Zempel has said he is running because he disagrees with some recent decisions. Also in the race is "Zamboni" John Scannell, a perennial candidate who is not running a credible campaign. Madsen is by far the best-qualified candidate in this race.Last updated: 2023-04-05Barbara Madsen

There are two good choices in this race: Cathy Moore and Eric Newman. We lean toward Moore because of the need for more female judges in Washington and her support from our Progressive Voters Guide partners.

Cathy Moore is a trial lawyer with six years experience on the King County Superior Court presiding in family, juvenile, and mental illness courts. Moore approaches the world with a strong racial and social justice lens, and has done an impressive amount of free legal work for those who cannot afford an attorney. She has been endorsed by a number of progressive legislators and shares a King County Labor Council endorsement as well as numerous Democratic district endorsements with Eric Newman.Last updated: 2023-04-05

Eric Newman is another good choice for King County Superior Court Position 44. Newman is a veteran and trial lawyer who has served for three years on the King County District Court as a judge presiding over hearings and trials in criminal and civil cases. He has also volunteered at El Centro de la Raza for a legal clinic that serves immigrants and as a bus driver for a women's shelter. He shares many Democratic district endorsements and the King County Labor Council endorsement with Moore.
Also in this race is Jackson Schmidt, an attorney who has spent many years doing pro bono work for the Pike Place Market but has not received the same level of endorsements from partners. We lean toward Moore as she would bring a new perspective to a bench dominated by male judges.Last updated: 2023-04-05Eric Newman

VOTE NO
Vote NO on Initiative 123
-
When the 2001 earthquake shook Seattle, it left us with a crumbling, dangerous Alaskan Way Viaduct and a heavily damaged seawall. After many years of public input, environmental review, and a transparent budgeting process, city and community leaders came together and agreed on a Waterfront Seattle plan to rebuild the seawall and create a public waterfront that connects new parks, bike and pedestrian paths, and access to Elliott Bay.
The elevated park created by Initiative 123 directly conflicts with that waterfront plan and the public process that created it. Additionally, the initiative's details have caused serious concern with everyone from the League of Women Voters to labor unions to the AIA Architectural Group of Seattle. There is no defined funding source for I-123, though it says the city's general fund will cover it--putting at risk more critical budgeted items like affordable housing and bike and pedestrian safety. It also forms an unelected board called the “Downtown Waterfront Preservation and Development Authority” to develop a plan that the City will then be legally obligated to pay for, no matter what the cost.

Vote YES on Proposition 1

Seattle is one of the fastest growing cities in the country, which is pushing rent and real estate prices higher every month. As a result, many working families, seniors, and young people are struggling to keep a roof over their head. Many are forced to live far away from where they work - making traffic worse - or leave Seattle altogether just to afford their rent. We must do better.
Seattle's Proposition 1 is $290 million replacement and expansion of the existing affordable housing levy that would cost the average homeowner $122 per year. This critically important proposition would build 2,150 new affordable apartments and provide emergency rental help for 4,500 families on the brink of being homeless.

Ensuring fair and consistent funding for emergency services is critical to safeguarding Washington’s communities. That’s why the Maple Valley Fire & Life Safety department has proposed replacing the current universal property tax levy with a "benefit charge" property tax fee that applies only to structures with increased fire risk that are over 400 square feet. The new proposal reduces the tax rate from $1.50 to $1.00 per $1,000 of assessed value.
