We focus on what candidates have actually accomplished. How did they vote when budgets got tight? What policies have they implemented? Can they explain how they’ll fund their proposals? We look for Democrats who base decisions on evidence rather than ideology and who prioritize fiscal responsibility alongside progressive values.
This guide serves Democrats and independents who want effective local leadership. We cover key races across Washington State, though we’re just getting started and plan to expand our coverage over time.

King County has our state’s toughest problems. It should have its most effective leaders.
The county that builds planes deserves leaders who stick to the landing.
For State Senate, 48th LD
Amy Walen has been a steady and effective voice in Olympia, focused on results that make a difference for families and communities. She voted against the gas tax increase because she understood the strain on working families, and she sponsored HB 2015 to create dedicated funding that helps cities hire more police officers.
FOR EVERETT MAYOR
Cassie Franklin has led Everett since 2018 with a focus on public safety, balanced budgets, and community investment. As mayor, she’s hired more police officers, created a Violent Crime Unit, and launched the CARE Team, which pairs law enforcement with behavioral health specialists.
FOR KIRKLAND CITY COUNCIL
Jon Pascal has built a strong record of leadership since joining the Kirkland City Council in 2017. A transportation and urban planning professional with more than 25 years of experience, he’s delivered real results for the city. Jon has helped expand parks and trails, secured outside funding for sidewalks, and advanced Kirkland’s Safer Routes to School and Transportation Strategic Plan programs.
FOR ISSAQUAH MAYOR
Mark Mullet has a long record of solving problems for Issaquah. He started on the City Council and went on to serve more than ten years in the State Senate, where he chaired the state construction budget and delivered funding for schools, parks, and transportation projects that matter locally. His work helped widen SR 18, complete the I-90 interchange, and secure long-term investments that continue to support Issaquah’s growth.
