Update re: Meals @ Democrats Deliver Event

150 150

Update for Democrats Deliver ticket holders:
 
We have just learned that we may not be able to increase our catering order to accommodate everyone who bought tickets after our August 20 deadline.  We hope to have good news for you tomorrow. 
 
Please arrive no later than 2:30 pm to line up for a meal.  Please stop at the box office to get a wristband before lining up - we will be asking people to line up in two lines, based on the color of their wristband.   The two lines will be for those who bought tickets before the August 20 deadline,  and those who bought tickets after.  (Your position in your line will be first come, first served.)
 
If you are not sure when you made your ticket purchase, please contact Deborah Pedersen, 360-385-5147 before Sunday!
 
Watch for more messages from this address both about food availability and about what you'll need to know on Sunday about parking, time-table, etc.  Stay tuned!

JCD members endorse incumbent County Sheriff Joe Nole for reelection

At a membership meeting Oct. 12 on Zoom of the Jefferson County Democrats, just over 70% of the members attending voted to endorse incumbent Joe Nole for Jefferson County Sheriff.

The vote percentage is almost identical to the results in the primary election in August.

Other candidates endorsed by the Jefferson County Democrats

JCD Endorsements for Nov. 8

150 150

2022 candidates endorsed so far by JeffCo Democrats

The Jefferson County Democrats endorsed the candidates shown in this chart for the Aug. 2 primary election. Our endorsed candidates had a good night in the primary election. And the results suggest continued winning strength for the Nov. 8 general election.

JCD members will be considering endorsements for some other positions in late September. Please return to our website or Facebook page to learn more about those endorsements.

In the primary election, Jefferson County Commissioner Greg Brotherton received a resounding 56% of the votes in the 3rd District. Greg’s Republican opponent, recently retired (and rich) from the pharmaceutical industry, Marcia Kelbon, is new to Jefferson County.

Greg’s decisive win in the most conservative county district sets him up for an even stronger win this fall when the contest is countywide. JCD’s other endorsed candidates for county positions had no opponents in the primary and have no opponents in the general.

State Reps. Mike Chapman and Steve Tharinger are also in good shape heading into the general election. Democrats received 60% of the votes and majorities in each of the three counties of the 24th LD.

U.S. Rep. Derek Kilmer received 53% of the votes in the 6th Congressional District. He will face Republican Elizabeth Krieselmaier, who received just 27% of the votes in a crowded Republican field.

U.S. Sen. Patty Murray received 54% of the statewide vote and will face Republican Tiffany Smiley, as expected.
