Parents or legal guardians may have their children excused from any planned instruction in sexual health education. If the school district offers sexual health education, it must be medically and scientifically accurate. It must also be age-appropriate and appropriate for students of any gender, race, disability status, or sexual orientation. It must include information about abstinence and other methods of preventing pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. It cannot consist only of information about abstinence. A school may choose to provide comprehensive sexual health education using separate outside speakers or a prepared curriculum. Sexual health education must be consistent with guidelines developed by the state Department of Health and the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction. The Superintendent of Public Instruction and the state Department of Health must make these guidelines available on their web sites. The Superintendent of Public Instruction, consulting with the state Department of Health, develops a list of sexual health education curricula that are consistent with state guidelines. State law encourages school districts that choose to offer sexual health education to review their program and choose a curriculum from the state list. School districts may choose or develop any other curriculum that complies with state law. Any parent or legal guardian may review the curriculum offered in their school district. The Effect of the Proposed Measure if Approved The Legislature recently passed a bill that would change the law about sexual health education. If the voters approve Referendum 90, then the law would change as described below. If the voters reject Referendum 90, then the law will remain as summarized above. Referendum 90 would require public schools to provide comprehensive age-appropriate sexual health education. Parents and legal guardians would continue to have the choice to exclude their students from sexual health education. Comprehensive sexual health education would mean age-appropriate instruction in human development and reproduction. Districts would use curriculum, instruction, and materials that are medically and scientifically accurate. The instruction must use language and strategies that avoid discrimination against any student. Comprehensive sexual health education must include information about affirmative consent and bystander training. This means teaching about a conscious and voluntary agreement to engage in sexual activity as a requirement before sexual activity. The curriculum, instruction, and materials would vary by grade level. For students in kindergarten through grade three, it must be instruction in social- emotional learning that is consistent with standards and benchmarks established by the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction. For students in grades four through twelve, it must include information about six topics. These are: • The physiological, psychological, and sociological developmental processes experienced by an individual; • The development of intrapersonal and interpersonal skills to communicate, respectfully and effectively, to reduce health risks, and choose healthy behaviors and relationships that are based on mutual respect and affection, and are free from violence, coercion, and intimidation; • Health care and prevention resources; • The development of meaningful relationships and avoidance of exploitative relationships; • Understanding the influences of family, peers, community, and the media throughout life on healthy sexual relationships; and • Affirmative consent and recognizing and responding safely and effectively when violence, or a risk of violence, is or may be present with strategies that include bystander training. The law would phase in over time. Public schools must provide comprehensive sexual health education in grades six through twelve beginning in the 2021-22 school year. They must begin doing so in all grades in the 2022-23 school year. Public school districts must provide comprehensive sexual health education at least once to students in kindergarten through grade three, once to students in grades four through five, twice to students in grades six through eight, and twice to students in grades nine through twelve. The Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction must keep training materials up to date. Public school districts may either choose a curriculum from the list developed at the state level or choose other curriculum. A district choosing a curriculum that is not on the state list must make sure that it complies with state law and consult with the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction. The Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction must provide technical assistance to public schools. At the beginning of the 2021-22 school year, public schools must let parents and legal guardians know that they will provide comprehensive sexual health education. The district must provide access to all such course materials that it will use during the school year. Public school districts must report to the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction the curricula used to provide comprehensive sexual health education. The report must describe how it aligns with state law requirements. The Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction must summarize this information and report it to the Legislature. Fiscal Impact Statement Written by the Office of Financial Management For more information visit www ofm wa gov/ballot FISCAL IMPACT SUMMARY Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill 5395 was enacted in the 2020 legislative session, but has not gone into effect because the voters submitted petitions to refer the measure to the November 2020 general election ballot. If the voters approve the referendum, ESSB 5395 would go into effect. There would be no fiscal impact to state government in the 2019–21 biennium and ongoing. There would be a fiscal impact to local government (school districts), but the impact is indeterminate. There are no known state or local revenue impacts that would result from the passage of this measure. SUMMARY Referendum 90 places Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill 5395 (ESSB 5395) onto the 2020 general election ballot for approval or rejection by the voters. Beginning September 1, 2021, ESSB 5395 would require every public school district to offer comprehensive sexual health education from a list of curricula provided on the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction’s (OSPI) website, or choose their own curricula using a tool provided by OSPI. Additionally, OSPI would be required to report to the Legislature data collected from school districts about the curricula they used to provide comprehensive sexual health education. Section 1(5)(a) of ESSB 5395 requires the Department of Health (DOH) to consult with OSPI on the development of a list of comprehensive sexual health education curricula that are consistent with the 2005 guidelines for sexual health information and disease prevention and the Washington state health and physical education K–12 learning standards. GENERAL ASSUMPTIONS • If approved, the effective date of the referendum is December 3, 2020. • The fiscal estimates use the state’s fiscal year of July 1 through June 30. Fiscal year 2021 is July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021. REVENUE The referendum has no known state or local revenue impact. EXPENDITURES A vote to approve the referendum would result in no costs for state government, specifically OSPI and DOH. School districts may incur costs, but those costs are indeterminate and are dependent upon local decisions regarding the adoption process and training for any new curriculum adopted. State expenditures Curricula. OSPI currently offers a list of curricula as part of its open education resources. There is no additional cost associated with maintaining sexual health education curricula. Review Tools. OSPI currently offers a review tool for districts to use when selecting comprehensive sexual health education. The tool would require very little modification to be used as directed in the bill. There is no additional fiscal impact related to staff time to accomplish this work. Data Collection. OSPI currently collects district-level data related to comprehensive sexual health education. No expenditure impact is anticipated as a result of this additional data collection requirement. Reporting: OSPI is currently required to report on sexual health education to the Legislature. The time involved in reporting the results of the data reporting is already believed to be captured; therefore, no expenditure impact is expected. School district expenditures Curricula. School districts may use free sexual health education curricula that is available. Any curricula costs for districts not currently offering comprehensive sexual health education, or not using curricula that meets the standard in ESSB 5395, would be discretionary. Should districts choose curricula at a cost, two federally-funded grant programs are available to provide financial assistance to districts for implementation. DOH administers the Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP), and Planned Parenthood of the Great Northwest and Hawaiian Islands administers the Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program (TPPP). Both are funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Adolescent Health. Professional Development: ESSB 5395 does not require that districts send their teachers to training or provide any other professional development opportunities in comprehensive sexual health education. Any costs incurred by districts for professional development would be discretionary. To manage discretionary costs, districts could choose to send teachers to professional development opportunities offered by OSPI at no cost. Districts could incur costs for travel and substitute teacher reimbursement. Adoption of Curricula. Adoption costs are dependent upon local school district practices. It is assumed that districts changing their curricula will use current adoption processes and available financial resources, therefore, no additional costs will be incurred. However, districts may be impacted by changing their curriculum adoption schedule, substituting the adoption of sexual health education curricula in the place of currently planned curriculum updates. If they choose to add sexual health education curricula to their adoption process, this could result in additional costs for curriculum review, meetings, and public comment. There is no way to estimate statewide costs of the adoption processes; therefore, there is an indeterminate fiscal impact on districts. CWU Ellensburg EWU Cheney TESC Olympia UW Bothell UW Seattle UW Tacoma WSU Pullman WSU Tri-Cities WSU Vancouver WWU Bellingham Argument for Argument against Approve Referendum 90 for Safe and Healthy Kids Young people in every community deserve age-appropriate information and resources to make good decisions about sex and relationships, to enable them to protect their health, keep themselves safe, and build their futures. Right now, too many students are not receiving high-quality, medically-accurate sexual health education, putting them at immediate risk of harm. Approving Referendum 90 will uphold a new Washington law requiring all public schools to teach age-appropriate, inclusive, comprehensive sex education. This starts with social and emotional learning for younger students and includes teaching older students about ways to prevent pregnancy and practice affirmative consent. It will keep kids healthy Studies show young people who receive quality sex education are less likely to partake in risky sexual behavior, experience unintended pregnancy, or get a sexually transmitted infection. Sex education also serves as prevention for sexual abuse and rape Young people need information and resources about healthy relationships to understand how to respect personal boundaries, ask for consent, and learn how to say and receive a “no.” Kids experiencing abuse urgently need to know how to get help. Children who are being sexually abused often don’t understand what is happening until someone provides them with the tools to communicate with a trusted adult. This year, parents, educators, and medical professionals from across Washington worked together to pass a comprehensive sex education law. Let’s protect that law, and young people’s futures, by approving Referendum 90. Reject Referendum 90 Overturn the K-12 comprehensive sex education mandate The legislature passed a bill mandating a new comprehensive sexual education (CSE) curriculum for all students K-12. Huge numbers of students are failing math, science, and English. Olympia should prioritize improving literacy and helping students graduate, not creating a new mandate. Reject Referendum 90 Restore local control for parents and local school boards The new CSE bill means unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats, not local communities, will develop statewide sex education standards for all students. It requires school districts to adopt a sex education curriculum that meets those standards. Parents and their local elected representatives will have little input in determining how they want their kids to be taught. Reject Referendum 90 Stop the early sexualization of our kids Kindergarteners need to learn social skills and elementary students should focus on fundamental learning. Materials that currently meet state standards include graphic sexual subject matter. These are decisions that should be left to parents and local communities. Reject Referendum 90 A costly mandate at a time when school budgets are being cut State and local budgets are facing massive deficits which threaten funding for basic programs. Schools cannot afford to add an expensive new requirement or design their own sex education curriculum that meets state standards. Trust parents and local communities to develop school curriculum collaboratively. Protect Local Control. Reject Referendum 90. Rebuttal of argument against Parents, teachers, and pediatricians know that in states with quality sex education, teens are talking about consent, waiting longer to have sex, avoiding getting pregnant, and keeping themselves safe. R90 gives parents the ability to opt children out if they’re uncomfortable with content, and every district must collaborate with communities on curriculum selection. R90 requires age appropriate education, meaning social and emotional learning for self-control and interpersonal skills in grades K-3. Approve R90. Rebuttal of argument for Referendum 90 is a blatant power grab by Olympia bureaucrats to take away parental control and impose a comprehensive sexual education curriculum starting in kindergarten. Parents and local schools are already doing an excellent job at this now. HHS.gov reports that for the last 25 years of available data, Washington’s teenage birthrate dropped 69%. Erin’s Law, which passed in 2018, addresses sexual abuse, prevention and online safety. Vote reject to retain parental and local control.

This means that state and local governments are limited to investing public funds in fixed-income securities, such as government and corporate bonds and certificates of deposit. The Constitution currently exempts several funds from this restriction. This exemption applies to any public pension or retirement fund, the industrial insurance trust fund, and money held in trust for the benefit of people with developmental disabilities. The exemption allows state and local governments to invest money held in those funds as authorized by law, including by investing in stock as authorized by the Legislature. In 2019, the Legislature enacted a law providing for long-term care insurance. Under that law, employees will pay premiums for state-sponsored long-term care benefits through a payroll deduction, beginning January 1, 2022. Those premiums will be deposited into a new Long-Term Services and Supports Trust Account (Trust Account). Under current law, money held in the Trust Account could not be invested in stocks. The Effect of the Proposed Amendment if Approved This Amendment would add the Trust Account to the list of funds that are exempt from the prohibition against investing public money in private stocks. This would allow money in the Trust Account to be invested in stock if the Legislature authorizes that form of investment. Fiscal Impact Statement Not required by law Argument for Argument against Washingtonians Support ESJR 8212 – a fiscally responsible investment decision In 2019, the Washington State Legislature passed The Long Term Care Trust Act to address the growing long-term care crisis. 70% of adults over the age of 65 will require some form of long-term care but 90% are not insured for long- term care. The Long Term Care Trust fund will help families access and afford these critical services with a benefit of up to $36,500 indexed to inflation. The fund is available to Washingtonians once they need assistance with three or more regular daily activities such as eating, bathing, or help with medications and are vested by paying into the program. Benefits will begin being paid out in 2025 and do not count as income for determining eligibility for Medicaid or other state safety-net programs. Voting in favor of this ballot measure helps to ensure the Long Term Care Trust fund can pay benefits to eligible Washingtonians over the long-term. This ballot measure, ESJR 8212, will allow the Long Term Care Trust fund to be included on the list of public funds exempt from current constitutional investment restrictions. If voters approve this ballot measure, the Long Term Care Trust fund could be invested in the same way that pension funds and ABLE funds are currently invested by our state. The Trust is self-funded with an independent commission and the state actuary responsible for regular certification of the program’s solvency. In 1889, the wise founders of the state of Washington wanted to protect public funds from potential losses of risky investments so they established safeguards in our state Constitution prohibiting stock market investments of our public funds. SJR 8212 will overturn that safeguard for our new Long- Term Care Services and Supports Trust Program, a multi- Billion-dollar program established this legislative session in preparation for the coming “Silver Tsunami” of elderly needing services. With so much money in play, we must not lose sight of the stock market’s high risk along with the questionable bottom line ethics of some Wall Street brokers. From 2000-03 the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) lost a third of its value. Around 2008-09 the DJIA lost half its value during the Great Recession. This year the DJIA fall over 37% in less than six weeks from February 12, 2020 to March 23, 2020. Who knows where it is going from here? The long- term economic impacts of COVID-19 are still unknown. Your vote is about prudent fiscal management of our tax dollars. A better idea is to invest public money into federal, state and municipal bonds that support public works we all depend on in Washington. They’re safe. Don’t let Wall Street brokers gamble with our hard-earned tax dollars. The Founders didn’t trust the stock market then, and we shouldn’t trust it now. Please vote no on SJR 8212. Rebuttal of argument against Support for ESJR 8212 is the fiscally responsible choice. With voter’s approval, funds would be invested like the State pension and ABLE funds are currently invested, which allows for larger investment growth. Through each economic downturn the market has rebounded demonstrating the overall long term strength of the economy. Higher yield investment options are good for the people of Washington and critically important to Long Term Services and Supports programs in the future.

SJR 8212’s passage absolutely does not guarantee that long term care benefits will actually be paid out to eligible Washingtonians. Don’t gamble with the people’s hard-earned money. We can better safeguard our money and know that it is being invested in a responsibly prudent way by casting a strong no vote on SJR 8212.

The electors gather December 14, 2020 to cast votes for President based on the state’s election results. Each major political party chooses their own electors through the caucus and convention process. The magic number There are a total of 538 electoral votes in the nation. A presidential ticket needs at least 270 electoral votes nationwide to win. If no presidential ticket receives a majority of electoral votes, the U.S. House of Representatives elects the President and the U.S. Senate elects the Vice President. Washington has 12 presidential electors Every state starts with two because every state has two U.S. Senators. Based on population, each state receives an additional elector for every Congressional District. 2 U.S. Senators +10 Congressional Districts =12 Total electors How electoral votes are distributed Washington state is one of 48 states that uses a “winner-take-all” system; the presidential ticket that wins the popular vote in the state is entitled to all 12 of Washington’s electoral votes. The Electoral College is established in the United States Constitution and administered by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). You can learn more at www.archives.gov. 27 Federal Qualifications & Responsibilities Except for the President and Vice President, all federal officials elected in Washington must be registered voters of the state. Only federal offices have age requirements above and beyond being a registered voter. President & Vice President The President must be at least 35 years old and a natural born U.S. citizen. Voters indirectly elect the President through the Electoral College. The President is elected to a four-year term and cannot serve more than two elected terms. The chief duty of the President is to ensure the laws of the nation are faithfully executed. This duty is largely performed through appointments for thousands of federal positions, including secretaries of cabinet-level agencies and federal judges (subject to confirmation by the Senate). The President is the commander in chief of the U.S. armed forces, has the power to sign and veto (reject) laws passed by Congress, and makes treaties with foreign governments (with Senate approval). The Vice President serves as the presiding officer of the Senate. The Vice President becomes President if the office is vacated. The order of major political parties is determined by the number of votes cast in this state for the President of the United States at the last presidential election. In 2016, the Democratic Party received the highest number of votes in Washington state and must appear on the ballot first. Independent and minor party candidates follow major parties in the order of their qualification with the Secretary of State. (RCW 29A.36.161) Congress The United States’ Senate and House of Representatives have equal responsibility for declaring war, maintaining the armed forces, assessing taxes, borrowing money, minting currency, regulating commerce, and making all laws and budgets necessary for the operation of government. United States Senator Senators must be at least 30 years old and citizens of the U.S. for at least nine years. Senators serve six-year terms. The Senate has 100 members; two from each state. The Senate has several exclusive powers, including consenting to treaties, confirming federal appointments made by the President, and trying federal officials impeached by the House of Representatives. In 2020 there are no United States Senators up for election in Washington state. The next scheduled election will be 2022. United States Representative Representatives must be at least 25 years old and citizens of the U.S. for at least seven years. Representatives are not required to be registered voters of their district, but must be registered voters of the state. Representatives serve two-year terms. The House of Representatives has 435 members, all of whom are up for election in even-numbered years. Each state has a different number of members based on population. After the 2010 Census, Washington was given a 10th Congressional District. Joseph R. Biden Democratic Party Nominee President Kamala D.

The current president threatens everything we stand for by fanning the flames of hate groups, dividing Americans, and tearing the fabric of the country apart. The stakes in this election couldn’t be higher, and nothing will change if we don’t defeat the current president. Joe’s parents instilled in him that when you see an abuse of power, it’s your obligation to stand up to combat it. That’s motivated him his entire life - as Senator from Delaware for 36 years and President Obama’s Vice President for 8 years. Joe stood shoulder to shoulder with President Obama to pass the Affordable Care Act, expanding health care for 20 million people. He wrote and passed the Violence Against Women Act, when domestic violence was considered a family matter. He took on the NRA and won – twice – including passing the assault weapons ban. And, he started talking about climate change as a moral issue of our time far before it was a mainstream issue. His vision for America is based on equal opportunity for all. Treating everyone with dignity. A middle class where everyone - regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, or disability - comes along. As president, Joe will expand on the historic progress of the Obama-Biden administration and rebuild a strong, inclusive middle class. He’ll protect and build on Obamacare with a public option. He’ll restore our standing in the world. Joe has a proven ability to bring people together and to deliver for the middle class. At this defining moment in our nation’s history, it’s going to take Joe’s strong leadership to unite America and move our country forward.

McKinney School of Law; Hanover College Community Service No information submitted Statement Four years ago, President Donald J. Trump ran on a promise to put America First, and he has kept that promise. President Trump fought the establishment to lower taxes for hardworking middle-class families, create better trade deals that stopped the offshoring of American jobs, and rebuild our military. President Trump stands by his oath to defend and protect the American people. That’s why, as your President, Donald J. Trump has stood up to the radical left that would defund our police, allow our cities to devolve into lawless zones, and make our families less safe. Lawless zones like CHOP, CHAZ, or whatever the radical left wants to call them cannot be allowed to happen again, and President Trump stands committed to stopping them. These aren’t peaceful gatherings of protestors. They are a hotbed of crime, promoting the wanton destruction of our homes, our businesses, and innocent lives. That’s why President Trump stands proudly with our law enforcement who, day in and day out, put their lives on the line to keep our families and our children safe from dangerous criminals. Our men and women in blue deserve a President that has their back, who will work with them to make sure criminals are brought to justice, and not someone that would side with rioters that burn our buildings and destroy our communities. As your President, Donald J. Trump will continue to deliver on his promise to Make America Great Again, by holding China accountable for the virus they unleashed upon the world. We can and we will defeat the invisible enemy, so we can continue the economic prosperity that President Trump delivered when he was elected.

Statement While 3,000 miles separate Olympia from Washington, DC, it sometimes feels that there is an even greater divide between Washingtonians and the politicians who claim to represent them. The Evergreen State shares a name with our nation’s capital, but not the same refusal to try new ideas. Perhaps that is why more people in Washington state voted Libertarian in 2016 than ever before. Washingtonians have made it clear they won’t wait for the federal government to act, and time and again, they have been ahead of the pace of career politicians. After all, Washington was the first state where death with dignity, marriage equality, and recreational cannabis were all legal at the same time. Just like those in Washington state, Libertarians know it doesn’t have to be this way. We can reduce healthcare costs without putting government in charge of highly personal medical decisions and creating a one-size-fits-all system. We can prioritize our national security without being involved in unnecessary foreign wars and stationing troops around the world in dozens of countries away from their families. We can protect our communities without sacrificing freedom through failed initiatives like civil asset forfeiture, no-knock raids, qualified immunity, and the War on Drugs. We can value necessary responsibility for workers and employers without endless barriers of entry to professions and new businesses. We can balance the budget without raising taxes. By ending excessive government overspending, we can also eliminate the federal income tax. I’m running for President not just to present a new way of addressing important issues. I’m running because Washington state deserves a better way — solutions that create real change for real people.

COVID-19 Pandemic: The ever-growing sickness and death from COVID-19 in the US shows that the two governing parties are presiding over a failed state. Organized countries around the world have suppressed the virus. We will enact a comprehensive Test, Contact Trace, and Quarantine program to suppress community spread of the virus so we can safely re-open the economy and schools.

We support reparations, including a massive federal investment in jobs, housing, schools, healthcare, and businesses in racially-oppressed communities that have been impoverished by generations of segregation, discrimination, and exploitation. Economic Inequality: After 45 years of stagnant wages and growing inequality, working-class life expectancy is declining. We will enact an Economic Bill of Rights to end poverty and economic despair, including a job guarantee, a guaranteed income above poverty, affordable housing, Medicare for All, free public education from pre-K through college, and doubling Social Security benefits for a secure retirement for every senior. Climate Crisis: We will enact an emergency Green New Deal to achieve zero carbon emissions and 100% clean energy by 2030. We will ban fracking and new fossil fuel infrastructure. Nuclear Arms Race: We will cut military spending by 75%, withdraw from the endless wars abroad, pledge no first use of nuclear weapons, and disarm to a minimum credible nuclear deterrent. On the basis of these tension-reducing peace initiatives, we will go to the other nuclear powers to negotiate complete and mutual nuclear disarmament.

Statement The Socialist Workers Party demands the federal government immediately fund a massive public works program to provide jobs at union- scale wages for the millions thrown out of work. The COVID-19 virus has exposed the crisis of capitalism. Workers can build hospitals, housing, schools and day care centers and replace crumbling infrastructure. The bosses divide working people by scapegoating immi- grant workers who they exploit. My campaign demands amnesty for all undocumented workers in the U.S. Workers Control of Production. Workers need to work! It is only at work that by acting together, we utilize our power and stand up to the bosses. Such resistance has taken place among Walmart workers, fruit packing workers in Yakima, machinists union shipyard workers on strike in Bath, Maine along with copper miners who struck in Arizona and Texas and among workers on the railroads – who all demand safe working conditions, control over line speed, pay raises and forty-hour work weeks. Our campaign points to what is possible and needed. If workers wrested control of production, we could set up workplace committees to combat the bosses’ production of shoddy goods, expose their waste, as well as protect the environment. Workers need our own party—a labor party – to fight to take political power out of the hands of the bosses and bankers and the Democrats and Republicans who represent them. We need to emulate what the workers and farmers of Cuba did when they made their revolution in 1959 - -establish a workers and farmers government. We call for arrest and prosecution of all cops who kill working people and we fight against women’s oppression and defend a woman’s right to choose abortion.

Education Executive MBA University of Washington, BA Pensacola Christian College. Community Service Strong advocate for military families, veterans, farmers, small business owners, students, and people with disabilities. Statement It is the honor of a lifetime to represent the hardworking families of Eastern Washington in Congress. I am proud to work every day helping people in our community – veterans who’ve served our country, entrepreneurs creating jobs and world-class products, farmers that feed the world, the vulnerable who need our assistance, and hardworking men and women trying to support their families and live their own version of the American Dream. In the last two years, I have continued to deliver results for Eastern Washington. I have led in co-sponsoring 37 bills passed in the House, eight of which have been signed into law. These have included data security and privacy protections, modernizing the farm workforce, connecting small and medium-size farms to food banks, and more. I’ve fought to expand Fairchild Air Force Base, bring broadband to our rural areas, and protect our dams. During the Coronavirus outbreak, I have supported crucial relief measures, such as the Paycheck Protection Program for small businesses, support for our critical rural hospitals, and relief for hardworking Americans who have been negatively impacted by no fault of their own. Our economy may be struggling right now, but our fundamentals are strong. I have led in the fight to reduce the tax burden on American families, cut back excessive regulation, and rein in wasteful government spending. These are what will bring back the booming economy that we were celebrating at the beginning of the year, not government running every aspect of our lives. If we work together, we can give Americans hope and confidence again. With God’s grace, the support of my family, and help from all of you, I believe we can find common ground and work together to build a stronger, more unified Eastern Washington.

Coached youth sports for thirteen years. Spokane Chamber of Commerce member 29 years. Statement I cannot sit by and watch while the administration bungles the health care and economic crisis brought on by first, the denial of the COVID-19 threat, and then the poor federal response to the crisis – a lack of planning, organization, and coordination – all demonstrating an incredible lack of leadership at the top. The President has not led in this crisis and the members of his party have not challenged his false statements, missteps, and unsteady behavior. This includes our current representative. The struggle to check and defeat COVID-19 is on-going, leaving us with an uncertain future. Without leadership, repairing our economy will take years. The beginnings of civil unrest are signs of things to come as the President continues to stir the pot of fear and extreme partisanship. A dysfunctional and self-absorbed administration at a time of maximum peril is not helping us in the present or giving us much hope about the future. If we are going to get out this crisis, the 5th District must have a leader in Congress that will speak up and work with local leaders and organizations to ensure we get the support we need. My interest is in representing you, not based on a party or political ideology, but grounded in the American ideal that we are stronger together. As Americans we have a duty to serve our country - that is why I am running for Congress. During my career I have consistently demonstrated responsibility and accountability and have risen to leadership positions everywhere I have worked and served. I intend to do the same in Congress.

Statement The people of Washington are resilient and deserve leadership that reflects their character. Jay Inslee’s proven experience in difficult times and his successful economic vision are exactly what Washington needs as we rebuild our economy and help families and businesses recover from the pandemic. The measure of our leaders is how they respond to unexpected crises. When Washington became ground zero in the country for COVID-19, Governor Jay Inslee met this health and economic crisis head-on, with bold action based on science and guided by public health experts. The Ellensburg Daily Record praised Governor Inslee, writing, “In the moment when he has been tested the hardest, Inslee has stepped up, making the tough calls and providing the leadership needed to get this state through the COVID-19 crisis.” The Chair of the University of Washington’s Department of Global Health praised Inslee’s leadership for “having saved countless lives.” Under Inslee’s leadership, Washington recovered from the last great recession to become the country’s #1 rated economy, and our state is poised to rebound more quickly thanks to the Governor’s progressive policies. Our state has the nation’s best Paid Family and Medical Leave, we have expanded health care coverage to 800,000 Washingtonians and created a long-term care benefit for seniors that puts us in a better position to address public health dangers and immediate economic hardship. Inslee’s Career Connect program provides on-site training and apprenticeships for thousands of students who have plans other than four-year college and his investments in forward-thinking renewable energy industries have prepared us to endure and recover from the economic pain so many are now living through. Governor Inslee’s steady leadership and pioneering vision make him exactly the governor we need now to guide us to a better, stronger and more just future for Washington.

Statement As Secretary of State, my most critical responsibility is to inspire public confidence in Washington’s elections. We achieve that when access and security are balanced. That’s why we created a secure statewide voter registration system to implement accessible same-day voter registration; established the first Elections Security Operations Center to respond to foreign interference and cybersecurity threats; and coordinated the efforts to develop robust state and county continuity of operations plans to respond in a pandemic. Because Washington is a nationally recognized leader, we have been able to help other states innovate and secure their elections by expanding mail-in voting options during the coronavirus pandemic.

I’m running for Secretary of State because I have 30 years of experience as a senior defense intelligence and national security analyst defending our country from attacks. I believe that this office needs a new type of leader to protect our election systems and voter information against current and emerging threats. Currently, our national and state election officials are putting party before our democracy. Our state’s top election official has not denounced threats to defund the US Postal Service or condemned dangerous attacks on voting by mail. These threats to election security must not go unchallenged. In contrast, as a legislator I’ve supported every effort to expand voting rights and have passed bipartisan laws to protect elections and election workers for all of us.

Having an independent, objective review of public dollars is the hallmark of my work at the State Auditor’s Office. I have been endorsed by many people and organizations, which are listed at my website: www.patmccarthyauditor. com. I am seeking re-election to this important job and ask for your support.

Statement The State Auditor’s Office deserves someone who will finally unlock its full potential to serve Washington.

I am the candidate in this race that has the most hands on experience with government auditing and government process at the investigative level.

Wherever my department can find opportunities for us to spend money on products and materials made by Washington businesses, we will recommend these opportunities be prioritized by our state government.

Statement Our public lands have been ravaged by natural disasters including tree infestations and forest fires. They’ve also been damaged by a political disaster: state managers that have focused on serving special interest groups instead of providing for taxpayers, school districts, and outdoor recreational enthusiasts.

Sue is running to bring that new leadership to DNR, the agency responsible for managing our state’s 3 million acres of trust land. Informed by a lifetime of managing natural resources, Sue will work to ensure that Washington’s working forests continue to provide a steady, reliable stream of income for our public schools. We’ll do this by adopting proven forest management techniques that reduce disease and excess fuel loads in our forests, which accelerate devastating forest fires.

The delivery of public education has changed dramatically, and we’ve been forced to adapt. Now is our chance to reimagine a better education system because the status quo is no longer an option. To improve our school system, we need to: use technology to innovate classrooms and unlock possibilities for more personalized learning; provide school schedules that fit the needs of working families and teachers; and teach students key life skills like managing finances, living independently, and resolving conflicts. With kids of my own in public schools, I support parental choice and local control. The incumbent ignored parents and educators by championing a policy that teaches sexual positions to 4th graders! Meanwhile, nearly half of Washington’s students are failing to meet state standards in core subjects. I am endorsed by parents, teachers, and school board members across Washington because I respect community input. I am running for Superintendent because I believe our kids deserve better and can achieve more.

Understanding the plight of persons of limited means, he not only volunteered to represent them when an attorney, but also, as judge, shows patience while maintaining strict fairness to all sides. Attention to the administrative duties of the court also earns him high marks, as he has worked cooperatively with his fellow judge, served as Presiding Judge, and developed a good working relationship with the three County Boards of Commissioners on matters such as budget. His service as a Child Advocacy Program Board member has given him the necessary perspective to balance the interests of both abused and neglected children and their parents. While not riding circuit among the three counties he serves, he enjoys spending time with his four children and five grandchildren. Judge Monasmith is grateful for the opportunity to serve as your judge and respectfully asks for your vote.
