Support Maria Cantwell for Senate …


With just 27 days until Election Day, I’ve got big news:

We just launched our first TV ad of the general election, highlighting one of the many ways that Maria has made life better for the people of our state: by working with businesses to create jobs here in Washington, including for our veterans.

Too many veterans serve our country and then find it difficult to secure jobs when they return home. Maria knows that we’ve got to change that.

Click here to see our new ad, “Great People,” and see what Maria is doing to boost job creation and get veterans working again in Washington.

Maria was a cosponsor of the VOW to Hire Heroes Act, a law that’s helping veterans find jobs here in Washington and around the country.

This law:

  • Offers tax incentives to businesses that hire unemployed veterans;
  • Created a retraining program to help veterans transition to new jobs back at home; and
  • Provides new pathways to make the jump back into civilian life a little easier.

While we still have more work to do to create jobs for veterans and non-veterans alike, this is a program that we can all be proud of.

Filmed in Tacoma at J.M. Martinac Shipbuilding, our new ad shows why Maria is the right choice for Washington — watch it and then share it with everyone you know.

In 27 days, we have a chance to send a champion of Washington back to the Senate. We know that Maria will fight for us day-in and day-out to increase employment opportunities and bring back jobs to Washington.

But we still need to get the word out in these final weeks of the campaign — please watch our new ad, then forward this email to your friends so that they can watch it, too!

Thank you,

Robin Brand Campaign Manager Friends of Maria

Washington State : Maria Cantwell is fighting for you … Rose Kapolczynski, Friends of Maria


You know that Maria Cantwell is fighting for you.

Today we’re sharing her record with every voter in Washington state, on the airwaves and online, as we launch our first campaign ad.

Maria wanted you to be among the first to see our ad, which focuses on Washington’s aerospace industry and Maria’s fight to keep our economy growing. Click here to watch it right now:

And after you’ve watched the video, please forward this email to five friends so that they can watch it, too!

Washington state is the hub of America‘s aerospace industry. More than 84,000 Washingtonians work in aerospace, and hundreds of thousands of jobs across the state depend on aerospace as well.

That’s why Maria has made it a top priority to see that aerospace isn’t just a tradition in Washington, but a vibrant part of our state’s future, too.

Maria has worked with community colleges to develop job retraining programs and helped Boeing win an Air Force contract that could mean up to 11,000 Washington jobs. And that’s why, from the start, she has made sure the deck isn’t stacked against Washington.

She’s worked with aviation leaders — from Everett to Yakima, from Spokane to Vancouver — to help Washington’s aerospace economy stay competitive and support jobs in communities across our state.

Watch Maria’s new ad, and see what she’s doing to keep Washington jobs in Washington!

While so much time in the “other” Washington is consumed with partisan bickering, Maria is focused on the work at hand: revitalizing our economy and making life better for families in Washington state.

As one of our strongest supporters, you already know Maria’s record of fighting for Washington state. With your help, we’ll be able to tell her positive story of accomplishment all over the state. We couldn’t do it without you.

Thank you,

Rose Kapolczynski  Senior Adviser  Friends of Maria

P.S. After voters watch our new ad, they’ll know why it’s so important to re-elect Maria to the Senate this November. Please help us spread this message throughout Washington by contributing now!
