From the State Central Committee

MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR

It’s Friday, Washington Democrats!

Special Message

Washington Democrats stand with Spokane as it works to overcome terrible wildfires. We thank the first responders who are working around the clock to save lives and livelihoods. Wildfire has been ravaging Washington communities across our state for weeks, leaving trauma and millions of dollars in damage in its wake. Find ways to help and updates on fires in our state here. We encourage everyone to consider how they can support our neighbors grappling with the insecure housing and finances that come after the flames are put out.

Scheduling Note: Message from the Chair will be on hiatus next week, but we’ll be back in your inbox on Friday, August 21!

Primary Results

Thank you to everyone who voted, volunteered, and helped power our campaigns to victory in the August Primary. During the first ballot drop, every single one of our incumbent U.S. Representatives was leading their opponents! We also saw incredible strength for Democratic candidates in Southwest and Central Washington. We are leading in our priority districts and even making big dents in our stretch districts. If you want to relive Primary Night with us, you can follow coverage here, here, here, and here! You can find up-to-date results at the Secretary of State’s website here. New ballot totals are updated daily, Monday-Friday, around 5PM.

This year, WA Dems tried something different with our Election Day Get Out the Vote texting– thanks to our Gen Alpha interpreters, we were able to shake some last-minute ballots loose. See some of the responses we got by clicking the image above or going here.

I especially want to thank our committed and gritty Field Team, who have fanned out across the state to power our amazing margins in this year’s Primary Election. They have activated communities, brought in disengaged voters, and turned out voters. We have 10 organizers around the state doing great work, and this year’s Primary showed just how effective Year-Round Organizing can be when it comes to inviting people into our Party.

Democrats Fight Back

Congratulations to Washington’s entire Democratic Congressional Delegation – as of press time, nearly all of our Democratic U.S. Representatives were leading their races, with most well over 50% in their primaries. These could be the ripples that come before a big Blue wave in November! We aren’t taking anything for granted, and there are still lots of votes to be counted, but I am more encouraged than ever that we will retake the U.S. House of Representatives and even expand our majorities in the state legislature (for the SIXTH cycle in a row)! Southwest Washington is getting more blue by the day, and we also have a path to victory in the Yakima Valley. But we can’t do it without you! Please sign up for a volunteer shift – we have less than 90 days until the General Election!

Fresh off her victory in the August Primary, DCCC Chair and U.S. Representative from WA-1, Congresswoman Suzan DelBene is adding 12 solidly Trump districts to her election target list. This means Democrats are massively expanding the map to capitalize on Trump’s plummeting approval ratings as Americans, even in solid red districts, wake up to the horrible impacts of tariffs, wars of choice, and out-of-control inflation. Democrats have to win big this election in order to build a durable majority in Congress that can finally begin advancing oversight and accountability of the lawless Trump-Vance regime. Thank you, Rep. DelBene, for your leadership in this fight!

Secretary of State Steve Hobbs is fighting like hell to protect the privacy rights of Washington voters. The U.S. Department of Justice is 0 for 20 in lawsuits across the country demanding sensitive voter data from states. We are going to make sure they go 0 for 21. Calling this a “lawless demand,” attorneys representing Secretary Hobbs are working to make sure our rights aren’t eviscerated to serve the fear-mongering and conspiracy theories of the Trump Justice Department. Thank you, Secretary Hobbs!

WHAT I’M READING

A look ahead to the 2026 midterm election: Politics in the age of Trump, Doug Sosnik

I found this slide deck from Clinton-advisor Doug Sosnik fascinating, especially the analysis of the headwinds facing our Party as we enter what should be a historically advantageous environment to retake control of Congress. Democrats are leading Republicans on most major issues (including the economy!), but our brand has been damaged by infighting and a lack of a cohesive message. If you love data and getting in the weeds, this is a great primer on this year’s political environment and the challenges and opportunities our Party has ahead of it to reclaim trust from voters who have strayed or who were never part of our coalition to begin with. I believe that Washington state has bucked these trends (only going 0.5% towards Republicans in 2024 while the rest of the country shifted 3%) because of our commitment to the policies that actually help people get ahead in life.

Thanks for all you do,

Chair Shasti Conrad

My heart is heavy today.

Over the weekend, devastating fires swept through the Spokane area, destroying hundreds of homes, forcing tens of thousands of our neighbors to evacuate, and upending lives in a matter of hours.

To everyone affected: please know that the Washington State Democratic Party stands with you. We’re holding your families, your communities, and the first responders working tirelessly to contain these fires in our thoughts.

If you’re looking for ways to help those impacted, we’ve gathered resources and relief information here:

Governor’s Washington Wildfire Resources

H.O.M.E. Starts Here Fund

Spokane Complex Wildfire Response Fund (Innovia Foundation)

American Red Cross Northwest Region

Catholic Charities Eastern Washington

Second Harvest Inland Northwest (seeking nonperishable food): open 8 AM-4 PM at 1234 E. Front Avenue, Spokane, WA.

Project Beauty Share (seeking new personal hygiene products): purchase through their Amazon wishlist: here.

Because tomorrow is Election Day, I also want to share one important reminder. Some ballots may have been lost to the flames.

You can check whether your ballot has been received at www.VoteWA.gov. If you believe your ballot was destroyed or never arrived, you can print a replacement ballot or contact your local elections office for assistance.

In moments like these, Washington always shows up for one another. Thank you for caring for your neighbors, supporting those in need, and keeping everyone affected in your thoughts.

Take care,

Chair Shasti Conrad
