Friend, As Emily’s campaign manager, I will work as hard as possible to elect her to Congress. But at the end of the day, the most important thing is that we stop anti-abortion Republican Drew MacEwen from flipping this seat. That’s why I sent a letter to the campaign manager for the other Democrat in the race, Hilary Franz, to sign on to a Positive Campaign Pledge (below). Together, we’ll make sure this primary doesn’t dissolve into nasty attacks, and that we focus on the issues that matter most. PRIMARY ELECTION CAMPAIGN PLEDGE IN THE 6TH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT We, the candidates of the Democratic Party in the 2024 election for the 6th Congressional District, believe in the values of fair and positive campaigning. We believe that campaigns should be fought over values and policies, not through negative advertising. We pledge for our campaigns to not authorize or pay for any negative advertising against each other in the 2024 primary election. No attack ads on TV or digital, no attack mailers, no negative campaigning - at all. By signing this pledge, whoever makes it to the general election can do so with their head held high, knowing that they ran a clean and fair campaign focused on what we can do for our constituents - not on negative paid media. Here’s why this is so important: As the only Republican in the top-two primary for WA-06, our opponent Drew MacEwen is almost assured to advance to the general election. No matter what, an anti-abortion, anti-LGBTQ+ equality, pro-Trump Republican will have a shot to flip this seat in November. And if the Democrats spend the next few months trading nasty attacks while Drew MacEwen gathers money and strength… that’s a recipe for disaster. Thank you! We look forward to hearing from our fellow Democrats in the race. — Anna Carlson-Ziegler, Emily’s campaign manager
