From the State Central Committee

Kendall here!

We’ve reached a defining point in this election: ballots will be in voters’ hands soon, and Election Day is only 28 days away.

I’m the statewide organizing director at the Democratic Party of Washington, and your donations pay for the program that I run, so I wanted to give you an update.

First, the topline number: Because of your support, we’ve already been able to activate more than 800 volunteers this year, who have reached 600,000+ Washington voters.

How did we accomplish this? I’ll share more about that below, but if you’re inspired by the hundreds of thousands of voters we’ve already reached—and want to help us reach even more—chip in today to help fund our GOTV efforts >>

The WADEMS organizing program relies on three principles:

1. Meet voters where they are. Farmer’s markets, community events, townhalls, homes, cafes, more. Our organizers show up where voters spend their time, and work to build authentic relationships with them. We know that the old “transactional” style of politics no longer works. Voters want to be engaged in longer-term, more meaningful ways. That’s the work that we do.

2. Organize everywhere and prioritize relentlessly. We believe in reaching every voter in the state, and having a year-round program allows us to do that. When an important election is coming up, we hunker down and put more capacity into races and electorates that matter the most. This year, our goals are to protect Washington’s 3rd Congressional District from a MAGA GOP takeover and win a supermajority in the state legislature.

3. Use technology thoughtfully. Technology has changed the way we have to reach out to voters. We take advantage of phonebank dialers and voter targeting models, but we also give our organizers and volunteers apps that make it easy to reach out to voters, friends, family, and neighbors they already know. But that technology will never replace real human interaction. Even in this age of AI, a phone call or a door knock from a community member is the gold standard. That’s how we persuade voters to support our candidates and to turn out to vote. So, we use technology that allows us to find and build relationships with voters we might never reach. Technology doesn’t substitute relationship building… It helps us facilitate relationship building.

There are only 28 days until Election Day, and I promise that we’ll put every dollar you send us to good use to defend WA-03, win super majorities, and turn out voters across The Evergreen States.

Thank you for being in this fight with us.

Kendall Oehler
Organizing Director

MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR

Friday, October 2, 2026

It’s Friday, Washington Democrats! 31 days until Election Day.

What I’m Asking

As we head into the final weeks before the most important election of our lifetime, there’s important work happening across Washington, and your continual support helps make it possible. Contributing to WA Dems today will help us organize in every community, reach more voters, and elect leaders who share our values. Whether it’s $10, $25, or more, every donation strengthens our party and helps us keep moving Washington forward.

Working for Washington

This is it. We are one month away from the General Election. If you’ve been waiting to get involved when it matters the most, now is the time. Our Year-Round-Organizing team has reached more than 600,000 Washington voters. But we can’t let up now. We need to build upon the momentum Democrats are seeing nationally. So please, sign up for a volunteer shift today! We have some incredible opportunities coming up!

TOMORROW – Join a bilingual phonebank to reach voters in Central Washington. This will benefit great candidates like John Duresky for Congress in CD4 and Ezequiel Morfin and Chelsea Dimas for State Representative in LD14. Whether you speak English or Spanish (or both!) we need your help to turn out Democratic voters. RSVP today!

Monday, October 5 – Join Democrats across the country for a National GOTV Kick-Off Call with Vice President Kamala Harris and DNC Chair Ken Martin. 3PM. Get fired up and learn about how we’re going to win this November! Sign up here.

Saturday, October 10  – One week from tomorrow, we are hosting a phonebank for Carmela Conroy who is working hard to flip the 5th Congressional District. As more Eastern Washington voters learn how Congressman Michael Baumgartner sold them out, slashing the healthcare coverage and food assistance of their neighbors to pay for bailouts for billionaires, the closer we get to flipping this seat in Congress. RSVP today!

Saturday, October 19 at 5:30PM – We have incredible opportunities in Central and Eastern Washington to not only flip seats in the State Legislature, but also in Congress! Make no mistake, these are uphill races, but the fundamentals are so bad for the GOP these seats could be in play. You can’t make history without working for it. In order to compete with MAGA’s millions, we need resources. Join us in Seattle for a fundraiser to benefit our tremendous Congressional candidates in CD 4 and 5, John Duresky and Carmela Conroy. Former Governor Jay Inslee will be headlining this beautiful evening featuring local wines and beers. Tickets start at $100. RSVP today!

Also in Eastern Washington, Democratic candidate for 16th LD State House, Derek Sarley received an unexpected boost with the shock announcement that his opponent, incumbent GOP State Rep. Skyler Rude, would be resigning three days before the election to take a job in the Secretary of State’s office. If you’re able to help volunteer in Walla Walla County to flip this seat, please sign up here!

Saturday, October 17 – Team Adam Smith and Team Marilyn Strickland are working together to send a bus of canvassers to the 3rd Congressional District to ensure Congresswoman Marie Gluesenkamp Perez helps Democrats secure a strong and sizeable majority in the U.S. House of Representatives. We’d love to see you there! RSVP today!

Democrats Fight Back

Governor Bob Ferguson is on a roll this week. He fought for benefits for residents impacted by the Spokane Complex wildfires, laid out how his executive order to counteract “the big bad betrayal bill” passed by Republicans in Congress will mitigate the harm to those getting healthcare through Apple Health, and forcefully opposed Initiative 638 saying, “Washingtonians should know that I-638 won’t create opportunities for girls, but it will force them into invasive sex verification exams in order to participate in sports.”

As Spokane communities continue to recover from the devastating fires, Governor Ferguson requested a major disaster declaration that would enable impacted individuals and local governments to receive reimbursement for fire-related expenses, unlocking $11 million in FEMA aid.

His executive order creates a statewide public awareness campaign and orders the state Department of Health to build a new data system to track which Apple Health recipients lose coverage. H.R. 1, which Governor Ferguson labeled the “big, bad, betrayal bill,” cuts more than $1.3 TRILLION in health care and food assistance nationwide, and will remove Apple Health from an estimated 14,000 lawfully present immigrants starting yesterday. It will also impose work requirements on more than 600,000 recipients starting January 1. State efforts have already cut the immigrant coverage loss number to 11,000 and the new verification system is expected to help an estimated 400,000 individuals in Washington keep their healthcare under the work requirements.

It’s always a good day to fight out-of-state MAGA mega-millionaire Brian Heywood’s Let’s Go Washington initiative campaigns. This week, Governor Ferguson forcefully condemned the effort to discriminate against trans girls in sports by urging voters to reject I-638. Let’s Go Washington is trying to disguise their anti-trans bigotry with claims of “defending equity in interscholastic sports” and would force EVERY female athlete to prove their biological sex using expensive DNA testing or invasive sex exams. Thank you, Governor Ferguson for working to protect our state from the Republican chaos coming from outside and within Washington state!

Congresswoman Dr. Kim Schrier’s Hydropower Licensing Transparency Act was signed into law this week. This new law supports our state’s clean, affordable hydropower and the healthy management of rivers by increasing transparency and efficiency. 30 million Americans rely on hydropower energy and it provides benefits for flood control, irrigation, and recreation. Congratulations Congresswoman Schrier on this huge achievement that will cut red tape and protect clean sources of energy for generations to come!

Attorney General Nick Brown helped lead a multi-state coalition to victory, securing a permanent court order stopping Trump’s unlawful attempt to gut essential health, education, and social service programs for low-income families. AG Brown joined 20 other states to challenge the federal government’s reinterpretation of a decades-old law pertaining to access to social services. Thanks to this victory, programs like Head Start, Title X family planning clinics, food banks, domestic violence shelters, adult education, and Community Health Centers will still receive funding passed by Congress and signed by the President. Thank you, AG Brown for always fighting for hard working Washingtonians!

Washington taxed its millionaires. Now the rich want it repealed, The New York Times

The New York Times dove into the fight over the Millionaires Tax on our ballots this fall. I love the quote from Jeopardy! host Ken Jennings, “I like the idea that we could bring back an America where it’s embarrassing for wealthy people to say, ‘Even though I could afford this, and it will improve public services in our state, I’d rather fight it.’” Let’s make that happen by voting NO on all three statewide initiatives this year!

Thanks for all you do,

PCOs Can (and Should) Start Doorbelling – For PCOs, the time to walk or call the voters in your precincts is NOW so that we can get that data back into Votebuilder ASAP. The data PCOs collect in the first quarter of this year is essential to the voter targeting every Democratic candidate will be able to do in the primary election and for the rest of the year. If needed, our Coordinated Campaign staff can help set PCOs up with a phone or canvass list, an appropriate script for their precinct, and either a listening or ID canvass – just ask us at organizing@wa-democrats.org.
