Making Eastern Washington More Progressive

Eastern Washington Voters is a group of people who are passionate about making Eastern Washington more progressive. Our members believe it is possible to make a difference, and they have proven it over and over again.

If you are tired of  Eastern Washington being the “ball and chain” that holds back the progressive agenda for the rest of the State, please donate and become a member or supporter of Eastern Washington Voters. 

2025 Local Elections

We aim to keep Democratic control of the Spokane City Council and establish footholds elsewhere in Eastern Washington through door-belling and handwritten postcards. Our data provides some of the strongest evidence to date that handwritten postcards are the most effective way to turn Democrats out to vote. This year we aim to send 5,000 handwritten get-out-the-vote (GOTV) postcards to Democrats in Eastern Washington.

One of the Democratic candidates is Kate Telis . She is an attorney and experienced campaigner who is running for the Spokane City Council, Dist. #2. Her district leans Democratic. On the other hand, Sarah Dixit is also running for the Council and has a harder race in the more conservative Dist. #1. She is from an immigrant working-class family and is currently the Organizing Director at Pro-Choice Washington. 

There are good Democrats vying for City Council elsewhere in Eastern Washington. Tawny Szumlas is running in Pullman. She is the owner of Rico’s Bar and Grill and from a very well-known and liked family.  Engineer and community activist Rebecca Long is running for the Cheney Council.
