Times have changed and Democrats have a real chance to gain this seat! Jason Ritchie is a progressive Democrat who is ready to turn this purple district blue! The incumbent, Republican David Reichert, is running for his fifth term, but President Obama carried WA-08 in 2008 and 2012 (redistrict). Jason is taking strong stands for progressive issues. Immigration is an especially hot issue for WA-08 and Jason has been hammering Reichert on his obstructionist votes.
Jason's campaign kickoff is Saturday. Have some BBQ and bring the family to have fun and meet this true progressive. Help send Reichert home. We need Jason Ritchie in the House!

My diary introducing Jason: WA-08: Progressive Democrat Jason Ritchie is ready to turn this purple district BLUE!
Each of us working in the way that's best for us come together to create a mighty stream to victory. The GOP is making so much noise and trying to keep Democrats from voting because they are afraid of our power. We can DO this!
