Thomas Clark[[link removed]] is running for the Washington State House in District 31-Position 2. In the open primary on August 4, Clark finished first in a field of three candidates with 36% of the vote. Clark believes that “we, as Americans, have far more in common than our differences,” and is running to bridge the divide between Washingtonians. He is a strong advocate of criminal justice reform and will vote for oversight of police and better outcomes for people of color in the justice system. Clark will enthusiastically listen to the concerns of his constituents and enact policies that will improve their everyday lives. He is a strong supporter of the separation of church and state, reproductive rights, LGBTQ equality, and taking action to address climate change. Clark is an agnostic.
 
Sharon Wylie[[link removed]] is running for re-election to the Washington State House in District 49-Position 1. In the open primary on August 4, Sharon finished first in a field of three candidates with 59% of the vote. Sharon was appointed and then elected in 2011. She has a BA in Political Science from the University of California, Riverside and served in the Oregon House in the 90s. Her work history includes 30 years in management, program development, small business and government relations. She has volunteered for Affordable Community Environments and Council for the Homeless. She says, “I believe in public service. Being elected is a great honor. Working on regional transportation, improving our mental health system, housing and data privacy is worth the hard work. Helping people understand and access their government and making that government efficient and effective are my priority. I have succeeded in making our property taxes fairer, especially for our seniors. As vice chair of the Transportation Committee and member of the Finance and Technology committees, I represent my district to solve infrastructure, tax reform, mental health, housing and other issues. My experience shows that together we can make our communities better.”

Sincerely,
