WSDCC Wrap-up July 15, 2022

Posted on July 15, 2022

MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR

Click the image to play the video

As Democrats, we know Washington’s election system must be fair and accessible for all eligible voters. This is why we are so passionate about protecting our freedom to vote and increasing access to the ballot box; this is why we must reelect Steve Hobbs to the Secretary of State’s office.

Steve works tirelessly in his role to ensure voting is safe and secure in Washington state, and stop the spread of dangerous misinformation coming from the GOP (and even some of his opponents) to intimidate and confuse voters out of participating in the midterm. 

Since his appointment last November, he has implemented a text messaging program to contact people if their ballot is rejected, increased education outreach to voters, doubled the office’s cybersecurity efforts, and much more.

Steve is the only candidate fit for the job — The Seattle Times thinks so too. In a recent piece endorsing Steve, the Times’ editorial board wrote, “Hobbs’ sterling credentials, demonstrated independence, constituent-focused service and proven abilities makes him the best choice for Secretary of State.” We couldn’t agree more, and nominated him to our 2022 slate in late June. 

Steve also was endorsed by The Stranger and a number of elected officials, labor unions, and local community and party organizations. We’re so lucky to have such a dedicated advocate, and it’s clear, if we want voting to remain fair, accessible, and secure, we must return him to office. 


And remember, this is the first time a Democrat has held the position in 60 years. We can’t afford to lose it for another six decades, not when our democracy is on the line, and together, we won’t.

WORKING FOR WASHINGTON

It’s officially crunch time! Today marks the start of the 18-day voting period for the primary, and tomorrow, we begin our 2022 Get Out the Vote tour. We’re kicking it off in Gig Harbor and Federal Way, with help from U.S. Sen. Patty Murray and many other Democratic elected officials and candidates (details below). So, grab your door-knocking shoes and join us as we mobilize statewide and connect with voters this weekend — and every day until Aug. 2. If you can’t attend and want to support our efforts, chip in HERE. And be sure to watch for tour stops near you!

But most importantly, remember to get your ballot filled out and sent back! If you have any questions about voting, we’re here to help; our Voter Protection hotline is live at 206-309-VOTE, or 206-309-8683. You can also visit wa-democrats.org/iwillvote for more information.

Now is the time to do what Democrats are best at and vote. We’re counting on you!

Let’s talk about School Boards. ❗Kennewick, Prosser, and Richland pay attention ❗School boards make important decisions about public schools. They hold significant power over children's rights, setting policies that determine curricula, extracurricular programs, student discipline, and how district funds are spent. Kennewick, Prosser, and Richland have some big decisions to make in this election. We’ve outlined some quick points on each candidate to help with your research but remember to read your Voters’ Pamphlet and to research each candidate (some of them have campaign websites that make their goals loud and clear). And don’t forget to VOTE! Even if you don’t have children your vote could help your neighbors, family members, or the kids who sell lemonade down the street every summer. Remember, the policies and decisions made by school boards can have long-lasting effects on your community and its future generations. ... See MoreSee Less

Richland Voters! If you were unaware, Donald Landsman passed away on August 31, 2025. First and foremost, we’d like to send our deepest condolences to the entire Landsman family and we are keeping them in our thoughts during this difficult time.Regarding the upcoming election, you might be wondering what will happen if Donald Landsman wins the Richland City Council Position 4 seat.Under Washington law, Landsman is on the ballot because he won the primary election (on August 5, 2025) and his campaign is active. If he wins the general election, his seat will remain vacant until the Richland City Council appoints a successor. The position will then appear on the 2026 ballot, allowing voters to elect a candidate to complete the remainder of the four-year term.In short, if you vote for Landsman you are not actually voting for him, you are voting for the Richland City Council to pick a temporary successor. If you aren’t comfortable with that then let’s take a closer look at the other candidate running for the Richland City Council Position 4 seat: John Maier.As a young adult, John Maier is motivated to change Richland city codes to facilitate more affordable housing, to represent Richland’s needs with Ben Franklin Transit for longer service hours and more capacity for school trips, and to motivate others, especially young people, to engage in government. Learn more about him in your Voters’ Pamphlet.Do your research, know your candidates, and VOTE! ... See MoreSee Less

    **In Zillah, we don’t put up with would-be kings. Come out and let your neighbors know they aren’t alone.

    Our peaceful movement is only getting bigger and stronger. “NO KINGS” is more than just a slogan—it’s the foundation our nation was built upon. Born in the streets, carried by millions in chants and on posters, it echoes from city blocks to rural town squares, uniting people across this country to fight dictatorship together.

    The president thinks his rule is absolute. But in America, we don’t have kings, and we won’t back down against chaos, corruption, and cruelty. Grow our movement and join us.

    A core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.

    Across Benton and Franklin Counties, the need is growing—but the resources aren’t. Government agencies and nonprofit organizations work tirelessly to provide shelter, food, addiction recovery, and mental health support. Yet even their combined efforts fall short of meeting the full scope of the crisis.

    So, what happens when the system can’t reach everyone? What do we do when the need shows up not in a spreadsheet, but on the corner holding a cardboard sign? We'll consider that question and more at our WEDNESDAY, October 22 Forum.
