WSDCC Wrap-up August 19, 2022

Posted on August 19, 2022

MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR

Democrats have delivered — and then some.

On Tuesday, President Joe Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act into law, reducing costs for working families, and marking the greatest investment to fight climate change in U.S. history.

Our Democrats in Congress were instrumental in the creation and passage of the now-law, which:

  • Lowers prescription drug costs by allowing Medicare to negotiate prices and capping out-of-pocket costs for seniors to $2,000.
  • Lowers energy costs by hundreds of dollars on average for many families, increases cleaner energy production, and reduces carbon emissions by roughly 40% in less than 10 years.
  • Locks in lower health insurance costs by $800 on average for 13 million Americans who get their insurance through the Affordable Care Act exchanges.
  • Fights inflation by reducing the deficit.
  • Makes the tax code fairer by cracking down on the ultra-wealthy and large corporations, so they pay what they owe in taxes.
  • Doesn’t raise taxes on families making $400K or less, and no new taxes on small businesses.

Washington state is already a leader in the fight to combat climate change, thanks to Democrats. And now, we’ll be able to expand those efforts here and nationwide, while also investing in our working families and seniors by lowering everyday costs — from prescriptions to home energy — and creating good-paying jobs. 

In 2021, there were already 76,905 Washington workers employed in clean energy jobs. The Inflation Reduction Act will expand these opportunities, bringing an estimated $5.3 billion of investment in large-scale clean power generation and storage to Washington between now and 2030. It also will direct billions in funding toward rural, urban, and Tribal communities, which already experience the extreme effects of climate change, like increased flooding and wildfires.

Last week, Biden also signed into law two other historic pieces of legislation — also passed thanks to support from our Democrats in Congress.

  • CHIPS and Science Act: Strengthens American manufacturing, supply chains, and national security, and invests in research and development, science and technology, and the workforce of the future to keep the U.S.  the leader in the industries of tomorrow, including nanotechnology, clean energy, quantum computing, and artificial intelligence. 
  • PACT Act: Delivers more timely benefits and services to more than 5 million U.S. veterans — across all generations — who may have been impacted by toxic exposures while serving.

Democrats continue to make real change, and Washingtonians know it; we saw that in the primary. While Republicans — including Reps. Jaime Herrerra Beutler, Dan Newhouse, and Cathy McMorris Rodgers — continue to put special interest groups and wealthy corporations before people. 

This is why it is so critical we not only protect our Democratic majority in Congress, but expand it, so we can keep moving our state and nation forward. With one or two more votes, we could finally codify some of our most critical freedoms into federal law, like access to abortion and marriage equality. We have the opportunity to flip additional seats this year, and 81 days to make it happen. Let’s get to it, so our Democrats can keep delivering on behalf of all of us.

WORKING FOR WASHINGTON

While many of us are hard at work knocking doors, making calls and sending texts ahead of the general election, the Washington State Democrats Advocacy Committee is starting its annual work to determine our legislative priorities for the 2023 session.

This is the exciting next step in turning your hard work to elect Democrats into meaningful action for Washington state. The Advocacy Committee wants YOUR input on what lawmakers should prioritize. Please take this short survey about what issues are important to you as an activist to help the committee craft our party’s priorities in the 2023 session.

We’re so excited to see what great, progressive policy the next session will bring!

DEMOCRATS IN THE NEWS

A new, powerful signal that Dems’ midterm hopes aren’t lost

Primary results in Washington state track with general election results — and Democrats did much better in 2022 than 2010 or 2014, though not as well as 2018.

GOP cheered abortion ruling. Democrats responded by voting.

A swell of electoral support for Democrats pushed turnout higher in the primary. 

Secretary of State primary election results: Democratic incumbent Hobbs trounces field

Secretary of State Steve Hobbs won in overwhelming fashion over a primary field of seven challengers, grabbing 41% of the vote as he seeks voter approval to serve out the remainder of the term he was appointed to last year.

ICYMI: Gluesenkamp Perez to face Trump-endorsed Kent for 3rd Congressional Seat

New vote counts pushed Kent into second place early last week, prompting GOP incumbent Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler to concede, as the gap continued to grow. Gluesenkamp Perez finished with just over 31% of the vote. Kent earned nearly 23%, and Herrera Beutler about 22%.

Benton County WA Democrats
A Warning From Justice Souter: Democracy Is in PerilBy Adam Liptak, New The New York TimesReporting from WashingtonJustice David H. Souter, who died last week at age 85, made few public appearances after he retired from the Supreme Court in 2009. When he did, he stayed away from politics.But a seemingly bland question from an audience member at a New Hampshire arts center in 2012 provoked an impassioned response from the justice, who was the opposite of excitable.He said he was worried that public ignorance about how American government works would allow an authoritarian leader to emerge and claim total power. “That is the way democracy dies,” he said.“An ignorant people can never remain a free people,” the justice said. “Democracy cannot survive too much ignorance.”Not understanding how power is allocated among the three branches of government, he said, leaves a void that invites a strongman. After a crisis, he said, “one person will come forward and say, ‘Give me total power, and I will solve this problem.’”That was four years before Donald J. Trump, as he accepted the Republican presidential nomination for the first time, said something strikingly similar: “Nobody knows the system better than me, which is why I alone can fix it.”There is no reason to think Justice Souter had Mr. Trump in mind when he spoke. Among the things the justice did not pay attention to were New York real estate and reality television.In his remarks in 2012, during an hourlong interview with Margaret Warner of “PBS NewsHour” before over 1,300 people in Concord, N.H., Justice Souter was in an amiable mood, but he gave guarded answers. He did not enjoy public attention, once telling a colleague that “in a perfect world, I would never give another speech, address, talk, lecture or whatever as long as I live.”He made an exception for Ms. Warner, who had covered him for The Concord Monitor when he became New Hampshire’s attorney general in 1976. But there was little reason to think he would say anything of note.Then a woman from Windham, N.H., lobbed a gentle softball of a question: What should schools be doing to produce civically engaged students?Justice Souter grew animated. He warned the audience that he might be talking for a while, and he later thought to make clear that the question had not been planted.“I’ll start with the bottom line,” he said. “I don’t believe there is any problem of American politics and American public life which is more significant today than the pervasive civic ignorance of the Constitution of the United States and the structure of government.”He remembered his high school days, in Concord. “There were two required civics courses,” he said. “When we got out of high school, we may not have known a lot, but we at least had a basic understanding of the structure of American government.”Justice Souter, a Rhodes scholar with a deep knowledge of history, sensed a parallel.“That is how the Roman Republic fell,” he said, with Augustus becoming an autocratic emperor by promising to restore old values.The rise of such a strongman was hastened, Justice Souter said, by public ignorance. Americans’ lack of knowledge means, he said, that “the day will come when somebody will come forward, and we, and the government will, in effect, say: ‘Take the ball and run with it. Do what you have to do.’”In the rest of the conversation, Justice Souter gave cautious answers to questions about what were then recent Supreme Court decisions.A student asked how he would have voted in a challenge to the Affordable Care Act, President Barack Obama’s health care law. “Going to take a pass on that one,” Justice Souter said.Ms. Warner asked about the Citizens United campaign finance case, which was decided a few months after he left the court. “I’m going to take a partial pass on that,” he said, because “you can’t get into that subject and explore it fully without getting into politics.” He may have also been reluctant to discuss the case because, as Jeffrey Toobin reported in The New Yorker, he had written a scathing draft dissent that caused the case to be argued a second time.Justice Souter did say that he was “certainly unrepentant” about joining a dissent from the court’s 2008 decision recognizing an individual right to own guns.As the event neared its end, Ms. Warner asked Justice Souter to say more about the threat to democracy.“I don’t think we have lost it,” the justice said. “I think it is in jeopardy. I am not a pessimist, but I am not an optimist about the future of American democracy.”“We’re still in the game,” he added, “but we have serious work to do, and serious work is being neglected.” ...
