MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR

Friday, October 30, 2026

It’s Friday, Washington Democrats! 4 days until Election Day!

On Tuesday, Washington Democrats hosted a Get Out the Vote Volunteer call with U.S. Senator Patty Murray and Governor Bob Ferguson. They laid out exactly what’s on the line this election and helped us sign up dozens of canvass and phone bank shifts as we head into the final days of the election. Check out a clip of Senator Murray’s remarks by clicking the image above or going here. You can watch a clip of Governor Ferguson by clicking the image below or going here. Thank you, Senator Murray and Governor Ferguson!

🚨COUNTDOWN: 5 DAYS UNTIL ELECTION DAY

With Election Day rapidly approaching, and more and more ballots being returned every day, we are running out of our most critical resource: time.

With under a week remaining, every single day is a crucial chance to connect with voters, mobilize volunteers, and give Democratic candidates the push they need to secure victory.

But we can only do this if we have enough resources.

Donate Now to help elect Democrats and defeat the MAGA agenda across Washington state »

Right now, Washington Democrats are in get-out-the-vote mode. We’re operating at full speed, our organizers are out in neighborhoods in communities across Washington state, our voter protection program is answering your call and prepared to respond to any threats to our democratic rights, and we’re doing everything else we can to support campaigns up and down the ballot state-wide.

But at this moment, our ambitions exceed our current financial capacity.

If we don’t get a surge of immediate support, we will be forced to scale back outreach and limit organizing efforts in key areas ahead of Election Day.

Can you pitch in today to bridge the budget gap and power our operations all the way through Election Day?

In these final days, every minute matters. Your contribution right now ensures our teams can keep working at full capaacity until every last vote is counted

Thank you for standing with us.

Shasti Conrad
Chair, WADEMS

Volunteer in Nevada🗳️

Attorney General Aaron Ford and Democrats across Nevada need your help to stand up to the Trump Administration and protect democracy. The Nevada governor’s race is shaping up to be one of the closest in the country, with polling consistently neck-and-neck as we seek to flip the governorship. All 4 of our congressional districts are competitive this year, with three vulnerable Democratic seats we must defend and a deep red seat we have an opportunity to flip.

To deliver victories up and down the ballot, we need support in every corner of the state. Whether you can organize a busload of volunteers, coordinate a carpool of canvassers, travel to knock doors in NV, or phone bank NV voters, your time and effort will make the difference.

Join us on the front lines in Nevada for the 2026 Midterm Elections!

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.
