SeattleWAthumbpixsThe Primary Election is on August 6th, and you should receive your ballot by early next week.

Click here for endorsements for your Primary ballot.

Our endorsements include positions on Initiative 522 and important races for positions in city and county government. While there is no race as high profile as the race for President, the outcome of this election will have a direct impact on your daily life.

Primary Elections typically have low turnout, which is why it is so important that informed Democrats like you vote. We ask that you make your voice heard. Because of the low turnout, your vote will make a critical difference in these races!

Find Democratic Party endorsements, and mail your ballot by August 6th.

If you don’t receive your ballot or have any other voting questions, contact your County Auditor.

Thank you for voting!

Jaxon Ravens
Executive Director

Progressive Radio in Seattle Update, 6-18-13


We are looking into collaborating with Northwest Progressive Institute

Andrew Villeneuve, American political activist and entrepreneur and founder of NW Progressive Institute (http://www.nwprogressive.org/), attended our meeting at the recommendation of Chip Hanauer. NPI does media, outreach, advocacy and research for progressive causes. Andrew shared thoughts and contacts that might make our collaboration effective.

We are all invited to NPI’s 10th annual picnic, Aug. 22, Perrigo Park in Redmond! We are planning to have a table there to let more people know about what we’re doing.

Planning for an event in Seattle

A group of volunteers had their first planning meeting for Progressive Radio Seattle (PRS) Reunion/Rally Planning on June 5.  They want to create an event in the early fall.  If you are interested in helping with this or being involved in any way, please contact: travelinla@speakeasy.net

Other news

We are actively building our Progressive Radio Seattle website, and we plan to have it go live this summer.

We have a volunteer who has offered to help with our database.  We also have business people, legal experts, event planners, radio and media personalities and progressive radio advocates who have been meeting with us and sharing their skills and ideas.
