Its important to keep in mind that since our state votes by mail, the final numbers on this August primary won’t be certified until August 19. Also, let’s keep in mind that current statewide voter turnout is at an astonishing 23.91%. It’s so important we continue working to engage our friends, neighbors, and fellow Housing Advocates to get out and vote this November. What is official is that we have a great group of candidates who are committed to creating safe, healthy and affordable housing in Washington State.
These results were made possible with the help of our amazing Actioneers! This election season, the Actioneers made close to 2,000 calls into NINE legislative districts, walked in parades, knocked on doors, posted yard signs, and helped the Action Fund financially support our Housing Candidates. We are a small but mighty group of folks who know that Housing Candidates becoming Housing Champions means we all get closer to the goal of homes for all in Washington. And…we’re growing!
Look forward to more opportunities to plug in with the Actioneers as the General Election gets closer. There will be more calls to make and more doors to knock!
