Eric LaBrant for Port Commissioner - Clark County, WA

ELECTION DAY: November 3, 2015

Please, if you know anyone who lives in Clark County, Washington - call them up this weekend and remind them to send in or drop off their ballot BY TUESDAY, NOV 3rd and to be sure and choose Eric LaBrant for Port Commissioner, if they value the quality of life in the county! Eric is strongly against new oil terminals (and the dangerous oil trains they bring with them) being supported by the Republicans and foreign companies who stand to gain from them.



From his campaign website Endorsements The list of progressive, environmental groups which has endorsed Eric LaBrant for Port Commissioner is long and comprehensive. From Progressive Majority Washington to Washington Conservation Voters to the IAFF and ILWU unions and many more. “The longshoremen and women rely on the port for 100 percent of their jobs,” Eric said. “I’m humbled to have earned their trust. And I’m grateful for their leadership in the fight against dangerous oil trains.”

Mike Dalesandro for County Council Chair - Clark County, WA

ELECTION DAY: November 3, 2015

Clark County was once a bastion of liberal politics, but it's been infiltrated by a pernicious wealthy conservative who has been making a lot of trouble in this little corner of Washington State for a number of years now. He was finally trumped by the voters in this summer's primary election even though he spent nearly $200,000 of his own money trying to buy up the new Chair seat. Since that loss, he's been funding a crazy Write-in campaign for a 18th LD State Rep. The theory which is being discussed on Facebook is that if he can buy her the seat, then she'll resign in 2016 (from a four year term) to run for State Senate and appoint.... HIM to the seat he couldn't win from the voters!

So please, if you know anyone who lives in Clark County, Washington - give them a call this weekend and remind them of the Tuesday ballot drop off deadline and recommend to them a candidate who will help this county heal from the self-centered machinations of David Madore, a wealthy transplant from California who has been trying to buy up the County Government here for over five years now.



From Mike's campaign website About Mike: Clark County deserves leadership that brings people together to protect the quality of life we enjoy. Our families need an advocate who will focus on public safety, job creation, transportation improvements, and responsible government spending – I will be that advocate. I’m supported by a broad spectrum of community members ready for a new voice in leadership with a balanced, collaborative approach to good government. I’m ready to work with you to build a promising future for Clark County. I ask for your support and your vote.

Patty Murray for US Senate - Washington State

ELECTION DAY: November 8, 2016

While four term US Senator Patty Murray has irked some Washington state voters with her vote on the TPP (me, included), there can be no denying that this "pragmatic progressive" has served the Citizens of Washington State well since first elected to the US Senate in 1992.

Via Progressive Majority Washington, from Mother Jones “[Patty]’s a pragmatic progressive who will push for the most liberal policies she can pass while still being willing to forge compromise with the centrists in her party.”



From her campaign website About Patty As one of the few members of Congress who has been able to break through the partisanship and gridlock to create jobs and boost the economy, Patty never gives up on her core principles and values -- but she always looks for ways to build partnerships with anyone, from any party, who is willing to work with her to get results for Washington state families and communities. Patty is currently the fourth-ranking Democrat in the United States Senate and a senior member of the Veterans Affairs and Appropriations Committee -- but she has never forgotten where she comes from or who she represents. She comes home almost every weekend, travels across Washington state listening to her constituents, and then goes back to Washington, D.C., to help families, solve problems, and fight for Washington state priorities.





as always...
