Doug White Insider – October 7, 2022

Posted on October 7, 2022

INSIDER

OCTOBER 7, 2022


32 days until Election Day


Thank you Zillah Chamber of commerce for hosting the candidate forum on Wednesday night and Okanogan Grange Forum on Thursday. They were energized evenings of strong opinions and good discussion. I will keep showing up to these events. I believe that the way we get back on track is to talk to each other. Sometimes this is hard and sometimes we hear things we do not agree with, especially when we are living in a time where former President Trump set the stage that lying to the public is acceptable. But we are one nation, and it is up to every one of us to listen, to respect each other’s ideas, and it will be my job as a representative to listen to everyone and be that one voice in congress that represents us all.

I am putting my all into fighting for what is right and for what we deserve.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

I really enjoy getting to connect on a personal level with the community! I often get asked the question: “Why do you want to serve – or continue serving – in the office you seek?” My background makes me qualified for this position. I have experienced difficult business and negotiating settings around the world. I am also from a 4th generation farming family, and it is in my blood. My background in tech makes me keenly aware of the importance of PNNL and Hanford’s contribution to our economy. Being raised in a union household gives me a clear understanding of the importance of having skilled labor that is well paid and provided for to do the best job. 

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Weekends of Action in Yakima and Tri-Cities were a success.

I appreciated everyone who came and did canvassing, phone banking, phone texting, and more with us. Our team is working hard every day, reaching out to ensure your voice and opinions are heard.

I received questions and concerns from many of you asking about different matters/issues in the District all the time. I stand by my vision and always want to improve a better living place for us all. It seems that Newhouse believes spending our tax dollars on infrastructure, energy independence, and bringing jobs back to this country is destroying our economy! What would you spend it on? We know you will spend it all, so why not on us?

My answer is always clear: I believe I have the right mindset to make changes and the right skills to deliver. I make sure that your trust and support will not be placed on the wrong person. I hope I have your vote.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

We hope you’ll join us, along with Washington Democrats, passionate volunteers, dirt road Democrats, and congressional candidates Marie Perez and Natasha Hil this Sunday 5pm to 8pm to turn out rural Democrats all across the state!We know we have supporters in every county, and we want them to know their vote matters. We’ll be calling from Whitman to Whatcom, Stevens to Skamania, all the presidents — Grant, Lincoln, Jefferson — and everywhere in between! Let’s get out of that RURAL DEMOCRATIC vote with just one month to go until Election Day!

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

We are Phone Banking every Tuesday and Thursday from now till the election. Canvassers are needed, please contact us to sign up in your county or area. We will provide all you need. Text banking is coming soon! Please check out the events page for Get Out the Vote event near you!

    Since the Covid-19 pandemic, support for public health policies has gradually declined. At the federal level certain policies and practices regarding vaccines have been thrown into question.

    Vaccine proponents note the long-time and widespread benefits of the traditional MMR vaccine; vaccine skeptics generally insist it causes autism. Some say the approval process (Operation Warp Speed for Covid-19) was either rushed or rigged; others say the process was instrumental in reducing suffering and saved the lives of millions of people.

  • Whistle Workshop & Learning Event

    Whistle Workshop & Learning Event

    December 12, 2025  10:00 AM - 12:00 PM
    Richland Public Library, Conf Room B, 955 Northgate Dr, Richland, WA

    📣Our Voices United is sharing whistle safety packs as a simple, but powerful, grassroots tool that helps communities stay alert and protect each other. Indivisible Tri-Cities is joining in to help promote this campaign and support local outreach.

    🧊These whistles create instant signals when ICE activity is nearby, helping neighbors gather quickly, record what's happening, and stand with anyone who may be approached. Join us this Friday to learn more!

    🎶Different whistle patterns can signal urgent moments, like ICE being in the area or someone being detained. This gives those nearby a way to respond that's faster than social media and doesn't rely on being on your phone all the time.

    🛡️Though it's a small tool, it helps combat quiet threats by creating visible community action, solidarity, and support. When we come together in efforts like this, our collective strength grows.

    Round Table Pizza3201 W Court St, Pasco

    It's time for a holiday celebration. This month we'll meet at the Round Table Pizza on Court Street in Pasco. December 12 at 6pm. Come gather with like-minded folks and share some fellowship, food and beverages. As is our normal practice, Tri-City Democrats will order several pizzas to share. We'll have the donation box available for those who care to financially support the group. Some of our generous members are likely to purchase pitchers of beer to share. If you want the salad bar or soft drinks, you are on your own for those items.

    At this writing, we do not have a planned program, but we will have 'Hate Has no Home Here' signs available. We are coming up on election time for the group - at our January meeting we'll plan to hold elections for our officers for 2026. Please let us know if you are interested in serving on the board!
