Eastern Washington Voters

Making Eastern Washington More Progressive

Eastern Washington Voters is a group of people who are passionate about making Eastern Washington more Democratic. Our volunteers and supporters believe it is possible to make a difference, and they prove it over and over. If you are tired of  Eastern Washington being a“ball and chain” that holds back the State’s progressive agenda, please make a generous contribution to Eastern Washington Voters. 

Plans for 2026 Midterms

Eastern Washington is our home and always a priority. However, it is so important to take back the U.S. House and the Senate that we will be working to turn out Democrats in other states as well. 

Which other states? How much and what kind of effort will be made? We will target both U.S. House and Senate races. However, exactly where and how much depends on what races end up being competitive and our resources. We will use a name other than Eastern Washington Voters to send our Get Out The Vote (GOTV) postcards.

Eastern Washington

There are county commission races in Walla Walla, Whitman, Spokane, and elsewhere that interest us. Also, we want to help Democrat Marie Gluesenkamp-Perez keep her 3rd Congressional District (CD) seat and keep an eye on the chances of defeating Republican Baumgartner in the 5th CD.

Rest of the Country

U.S. House: Everyone expects Democrats to take back the U.S. House, but we cannot take it for granted. Some of the closest races are likely to be the

  • 1st and 6th CD in Arizona,
  • 8th CD in Colorado,
  • 7th 10th CD in Michigan,
  • 1st and 9th in CD Ohio, and
  • 34th CD in Texas.

U.S. Senate: There is an uphill but realistic chance to win back the U.S .Senate. A handful of close U.S. Senate races in Maine, Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio, and Alaska will determine who the next Supreme Court justices will be.

It is still early in the election cycle. Some races that we currently expect to be close might not be by October. Some that we did not expect to be competitive might become so. 

2026 A Clean Sweep!

This bodes well for 2026. Thanks to our volunteers and donors, Democratic candidates won in all the jurisdictions that we targeted with our Get Out the Vote efforts (GOTV).

In Spokane, both Sarah Dixit, Kate Telis and Zach Zappone won their City Council Seats. .

In Cheney Community Activist Rebecca Long won her seat

In Pullman, Tawny Szumlas won her race for City Council. Congrats Tawny!

Then in Walla Walla, Rodney Outlaw also won a seat on the City Council.
