@ShastiConrad is an amazing human and organizer. She understands year round work and the Washington election results since she became state chair are proof. Thank you for running!
New ballot for DNC vice chair, top finishers:
Artie Blanco 223
David Hogg 150
Malcolm Kenyatta 135
Shasti Conrad 74.5
Blanco gets a seat, rest of candidates proceed to next round for the other seat.
House Bill 1258 would have a profound impact on the safety and wellbeing of City of Spokane residents. This bill would ensure that 911 excise tax revenue – generated by taxpayers throughout Spokane County – is fairly apportioned based on emergency call volume.
The @usmayors has awarded @SpokaneCity a DollarWise Innovation Grant! This grant will support the Spokane Post-Conviction Relief Pilot, which helps low-income residents with criminal convictions overcome barriers to employment, housing, and job training.

@cherealstars1 Saw your reply. Just want you to know I’ve never told anybody not to make eye contact with me. That is just ridiculous. And the next time you see me please look straight into my eyes.
We did it.
I'm excited and humbled to announce that voters have selected me to serve as the next Pierce County Executive! I simply cannot say thank you enough for all of your love and support that got me across the finish line. All the words of encouragement, donations, doors knocked, and signs waved directly contributed to our victory. Our broad coalition of labor unions, reproductive rights advocates, public safety organizations, small business owners, and elected leaders propelled this campaign to the next level and allowed us to win this incredibly competitive race. I want to express my deepest gratitude to my campaign team, interns, and volunteers for making this possible and a special thank you to my partner, Sean Walker, whose unwavering support helped me persevere through one of the most challenging years of my life.
I cannot wait to get to work on behalf of folks all across Pierce County. More than ever, I am ready to fight for everyone to ensure our values are upheld and our freedoms are protected during these challenging times.
In the coming years, I will continue to depend on your support to make our shared vision of a better Pierce County for all a reality.
Let’s get to work! #Mello4Exec
This is a big win for first responders, the police ombuds and municipal court.
There was opposition - it’s just sometimes hard to separate the noise from the truth.
Wow. Really underestimated Spokane's willingness to raise its own taxes, given the political environment -- as of Tuesday night, Prop 1 seems to be sailing to an easy win with 58% of the vote
The Washington State GOP is sending out these texts in an increasingly Latino state senate district (14), per a source who sent these along.
(I speak French, not Spanish, so these translations are not my own).
Demographic data on the district here, which is held by 3 Republicans https://t.co/5Dm7ElchGc
Nick Newman had replied to a tweet a few weeks back asking me what movies I would recommend. I told him to try The Unknown with Lon Chaney and go from there.
The framing of this story is ridiculous- we (@SpokesmanReview & @orionds) have reported this for YEARS, including extensively on how the delay impacted Malden residents- a simple Google search confirms
