John Braun wants WA CD-3 voters to see a different kind of Republican. But with Trump’s endorsement, he won’t be different from any other Trump loyalist. As one voter put it: “He’s got Trump’s endorsement. That’s enough to say no for me.” His priorities lie with Trump. Not with Washingtonians.

Not now. Not ever. WA won’t give voters’ private information to the Trump-Vance admin’s flawed SAVE database. WA already has an effective and secure way to maintain its voter rolls. We don’t need a system that has wrongly flagged eligible voters as noncitizens and retains personal data for years.

Every single promise Trump has made to Washingtonians is down the drain. Washingtonians are spending thousands more dollars under the Trump-Vance admin. Trump promised to lower costs. Washingtonians are the ones paying the prices for those broken promises.

While ICE rushed to expand detention centers, you know who’s paying the price? YOU. A federal watchdog report recently found that MILLIONS were wasted on warehouses ICE plans to sell, meals it didn’t need, and detention tents that were never used. All without a comprehensive plan.

The NRA just endorsed Amanda McKinney and gave her an ‘A’ rating. Her response? “I will not let you down.” McKinney has made her priorities clear: she’s promising to stand with the NRA while Washingtonians are calling for safer communities and action on gun violence.

Yesterday, the Senate GOP voted down on a resolution that would end the war with Iran. Washingtonians are already stretched thin to the dollar. Trump’s war with Iran is pushing gas and diesel prices higher than ever before, raising the cost of getting to work and delivering food to grocery stores.

The president doesn’t get to decide which journalists can hold him accountable. Barring reporters because you don’t like their coverage on you is a direct attack on free speech and the public’s right to know what our leaders are doing.

Unlike MAGA Amanda McKinney, John Duresky is fighting for the people of WA’s 4 CD, and not against them. Washingtonians have endured far too much under Trump and WA GOP leadership. It’s time for Democratic leadership to deliver real solutions.

A win for Washington voters! A federal judge dismissed Trump’s DOJ’s attack on our personal data as they sought access to our state’s unredacted voter registration list. No matter what comes at us, WA Democratic leaders will continue to protect voters' private information.

Health insurance is already expensive. And because of Trump and the WA GOP, it’s going to get more expensive in 2027. Doesn’t matter if you get coverage through work, the ACA, or Medicare. Higher premiums, deductibles, and copay on top of everything that’s already expensive.

Immigrant workers make up more than a quarter of the construction workforce. But because of Trump’s cruel immigration policies, workers are afraid to show up to work and homebuilders are having a hard time finding workers. Let’s be clear: we need our immigrant neighbors.

Wilber Rafael Garces Perez. A 28-year-old Venezuela man who was working to provide for himself and his family was shot in his car. He had no criminal history nor no final order of removal from the U.S. ICE is out of control and the Trump-Vance admin continues to let them do whatever they want.

It’s been months since the Trump-Vance admin started their reckless war of choice with Iran. And now, they’re not even being honest to the American people about the fellow Americans who have died because of it.

Never thought we’d be reposting something from Trump but here we are. Rep. Baumgartner has been a willing lapdog his entire Congressional career, kicking seniors and kids off their healthcare and food benefits and turning a blind eye to corruption and expen$ive wars started by the GOP.
