Oct. 2026 Newsletter: The Final Charge

ByKristopher Katz

AT LAST. We are now in the final days of the last two years and, possibly (if things go well) the last TEN years.

So much is on the line. Polls are saying Democrats far and wide will win. Don’t believe them–we’ve made that mistake before; let’s not make it again. Here in King County, we like to think we have less to worry about. Purge that thinking. We shouldn’t make that mistake either.

Change is in the air nationwide. Worldwide! Its direction is uncertain. But one thing IS certain: the power to create lasting, durable change always starts at the local level. And to achieve that change, people need to vote. That means we need every knuckle out there knocking doors, every voice making calls, everyone talking to anyone who might even consider sitting out this election.

It’s simple: Yes, people are angry. But if they don’t vote, they aren’t heard. Polls and predictions aren’t results. Only votes cast and counted are results.

Let’s go make sure everyone gets heard.

Here are a few races we want to put special emphasis on:

Of course, these aren’t the only races that could use your help. Our endorsements are the result of scores of interviews with candidates at every level. Every one of them would welcome your involvement.


Here are TONS ways for you to get involved. Find one that works for you and do your part:
