MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR

Hello Democrats and can you believe the November General Election is in just eighteen days?
 
That means ballots are arriving in mailboxes statewide and there’s never been a better time to increase your involvement! 

If you haven’t already I want to ask you to complete at least one of the following three actions between now and Monday:

  1. Please complete and mail back your ballot or take it to a dropbox (a map of statewide dropboxes can be found on the Secretary of State’s website HERE – https://www.sos.wa.gov/elections/voters/voter-registration/drop-box-and-voting-center-locations)
  2. Encourage your Democratic friends and family to do the same – make sure they know ballots in WA are postage paid (no stamp required) and be sure to share that link to dropbox locations! 
  3.  Reach out to your local Democratic Party organization and sign up for at least one GOTV-focused activity between now and Election Day. 

Without everyone on board, we risk leaving valuable votes and victories on the table – I hope you will help us maximize our opportunities statewide!  

I’m thrilled to say I’ll be hitting the road for GOTV (Get Out The Vote) events across Washington almost every day between now and November 7th and I look forward to seeing many of you out in the field!

Thanks for all you do – let’s finish this year strong and start ramping up for 2024!

WORKING FOR WASHINGTON

Last Friday, we were proud to celebrate our first ever AANHPI (Asian American, Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander) Celebration and Gala! We wanted to bid a huge thank you to the 250+ terrific Democrats (including 40+ of our amazing elected officials) who attended and made the night a huge success! 

I also wanted to wish a personal, special thanks to our speakers, sponsors, and co-hosts, without whom this event would have never been possible! 

As the first Asian American woman to lead a major State Party in the contiguous U.S., I was especially proud to convene this celebration – and build power and community for this critical constituency of our Democratic big tent! I can’t stress enough how much it meant to me and how excited I am to see how we can scale up these efforts and build an even bigger, more impactful celebration in 2024!
