  • Mike Pellicciotti, for State Treasurer  –   WA State legislator has never taken corporate campaign funding, led efforts to get “dark money” out of politics and increase penalties for corporate crime.  (His opponent, incumbent Duane Davidson, a strong Trump supporter, invests our state money with his corporate donors, and rarely attends State Investment Board meetings.)
  • Chris Reykdal, for WA Sup’t of Public Instruction   –  As Sup’t of Public Instruction, highly-qualified Reykdal has increased graduation rates to a record high, worked to assure success for students of color, students with disabilities, etc. (His opponent, Espinoza, unqualified to teach in public school, supports vouchers and charter schools, falsely represented her credentials, her organization, and Reykdal’s actions in the voter pamphlet.)

  • Pierce County Executive: Larry Seaquist –  Commanded four ships in his 32 years in the Navy, led strategy and budget planning teams for the Pentagon, worked a decade for peace-building and community development in countries facing conflict, and served as LD26 legislator.  He is prepared to take on the increasing problems Pierce County faces under Executive Dammeier.  With his state and national leadership experience, he plans to take on the COVID virus impact, increase education, skills and jobs, bring equity and diversity to County leadership, get everyone housed in collaboration with other public institutions with transparency and accountability. 
  • Pierce County Sheriff:  no recommendation
  • County Council, District 2: Sarah Rumbaugh
  • County Council, District 4: Ryan Mello

Additional comments:

County Council races:  We recommend voting for Democrats in all these races. The Republicans have controlled the County far too long, to our great detriment.  If we change the Council and the Executive (to Seaquist,) we would see many significant improvements.
