This is only the beginning...

Whether you supported the Housing Action Fund with a contribution, or knocked on doors in Pierce and Snohomish Counties, whether you called undecided voters or registered housing stakeholders to vote – you played a significant role. In addition to securing the seats of two champions, we’ve also sent a strong message to Olympia that we can be counted on to stand up to support our friends. All together we raised more than $15,000 for our endorsed candidates, mobilized 48 volunteers, phoned 1,750 voters, and reached 650 voters at their doorsteps. Also, 20 of our 26 endorsed candidates won, a rather amazing first election season for the Housing Action Fund! Stay tuned for more affordable housing and homelessness advocacy and mobilizing information, as we gear up for the 2013 legislative session.

*In a small number of cases, we endorsed both candidates because we believe each would be a strong advocate for affordable housing and ending homelessness.
