Washington State Democratic Party | Be a Seed for Change

Last week’s health care reform victory shows what people-powered campaigns can do.

In 2008, you worked hard to elect President Obama. And with your support, the President and his Democratic colleagues passed, and fought the legal assault on, the Affordable Care Act.

The fight isn’t over. Mitt Romney has vowed to repeal the Affordable Care Act if he is elected. We need your help once again to elect President Obama, Maria Cantwell for Senate, Jay Inslee for Governor, and other Democrats who will keep our country moving forward.

Be a part of Victory 2012. Watch our video and learn how to get involved with our campaign.

Campaign offices are opening around the state, and organizers need your help knocking on doors, making calls, registering voters, and getting out the vote.

We know elections are won face-to-face, conversation-to-conversation. That’s the hard work that gets Democrats elected. We’re doing our part, but we can’t win without you.

Republicans are passionate about striking down the rights we have fought so hard to win. We need to match their passion with ours and show them our country and state won’t go backward.

Help keep Washington moving forward. Sign up to volunteer, find office locations, and more:

Oops, someone forgot to purge their files! Rob McKenna got caught… red-handed.

Documents stored at the King County Archives reveal that, while serving as a King County Councilman, Rob was campaigning on the public dime, out of his Council office.

Now McKenna is facing an ethics compliant over his actions, which may have violated ethics law.

Talk about being caught red-handed and red-faced. McKenna’s an attorney. He knows the rules – It is illegal for public resources to be used for campaign purposes.

Can you donate $10 now and help us hold Rob McKenna accountable for his actions?

There may be more to this story.

One of Rob McKenna’s first actions as Attorney General was to hire a Republican campaign operative as his “outreach” director and put him on government payroll. Was this Republican operative reaching out to constituents or working to further McKenna’s political ambitions?

Earlier this week it was revealed that McKenna boosted campaign spending from his Attorney General account in the months before he declared his candidacy for governor – raising concerns with the state campaign watchdog, the Public Disclosure Commission.

After reading these ethics stories, it’s easy to imagine a late-night file-purging party in the Attorney General’s office.

We must continue to hold Rob McKenna accountable for his actions. Will you send us a small donation to support our “Tell the Truth Rob McKenna” team?

Our candidate for governor, Jay Inslee, is dedicated to creating a working Washington. He is the best candidate to rebuild our state’s middle class and get people back to work. Jay would serve the state with integrity and would never violate the public trust the way McKenna has.

Part of our mission at the State Party is to ensure that Jay has a level playing field for this fall’s election. That means we need to hold his ethically challenged Republican opponent accountable for his actions.

Please help with a small donation today. Your support is appreciated by all of our candidates.
