Friend,
This is not another fundraising email. This is a call to action. I need your help to counteract the distortion campaign being waged in my race. Since we had a strong showing in the Primary Election race for Secretary of State, my opponent’s response has been to continue distorting the truth about my actions and my record. This is just one of the same tactics the state Democratic Party Chair used in 2016 when she ran for this office. This week they are taking it to a new level.
For months my opponent has repeatedly told her supporters and the public that I “should be a leader in championing vote-by-mail across the country,” that I have been “silent” and therefore “complicit” on the attacks on our election system, and am “against voting rights legislation.” The chair went so far as to tell Anderson Cooper on Twitter that my action “is suppression and politicization for the GOP and you got played.”
Their attacks on me are simply an attempt to deflect voter’s attention from my opponent’s lack of leadership and job-related experience. They have demonstrated they are willing to politicize our elections just to oversee them.
You know me. You know my record is one of demonstrated leadership, experience, and integrity. I work to inspire voter confidence, not politicize it. These are not just campaign slogans, they are the reason I ran for this office in the first place and continue to guide me today.
While my opponent has resorted to a campaign of disinformation, I have been featured over 300 times in media over the past six months alone about Washington’s success and the benefits of mail-in voting, protecting the critical services of the USPS, and balancing election security and accessibility. I have included a short list for your reference below.
I need your help. Please share this with your circle of influence – your friends and family. Tell them why you support me and ask for their support. This is going to be another brutal campaign and I cannot win without you.
Thank you,
