Joe Barden here, Washington Democrats’ finance director. In June, Democrats across the country shattered records. We saw the most grassroots donations and volunteer sign-ups ever this early in an election cycle.
From local races to statehouses, we’ve now won or overperformed in 34 key elections. Take Zohran Mamdani in New York—community support helped push him across the finish line. It’s a reminder that when we organize and show up, we can make a real impact. And here in Washington, Democratic candidates put up strong fundraising and engagement numbers across our state. People are energized, tired of the status quo, and ready for a change. And quickly.
Right now, we cannot afford to lose this momentum.
Because at the same time that we outperformed, Republicans have been spending all they’ve got, pouring money into our state, hoping to flip seats and push their dangerous agenda. Just this month, a new report revealed that business-backed political committees have spent over $330,000 in attack ads, mailers, and digital campaigns targeting two Democratic women in our State Senate: Sen. Victoria Hunt (LD 5) and Sen. Deborah Krishnadasan (LD 26).
Our primary is just days away. We’ve got critical races to win, up and down the ballot. From school board to city council to Congress, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Can we count on you to donate to Washington State Democrats today ahead of our end-of-month deadline?
Let’s prove that Washington is ready. Let’s win this.
Thank you,
Joe Barden
Finance Director, Washington Democrats
