Friend – 

Yesterday, a second candidate announced to run against me in 2020.

Like my first opponent, she lacks any experience managing elections. More concerning, her political motivation for running demonstrates a strong partisan bias.

She says that she wants to make Washington a national leader in elections security, but I’ve got good news: we already are!

I’m proud that election-security experts have ranked Washington as a national leader in security and accessibility. We’ve done a lot of important work together, but it’s essential that we prevent partisan politics from poisoning our elections system.

This announcement comes at a critical time. At the end of this week, I will be prohibited from fundraising for the duration of the legislative session. You can bet that my opponents are spending this week fundraising furiously, and so am I!

I know I have asked a lot from you lately, but we only have 3 more days to collect campaign donations this year. If you haven't already donated, please send an urgent donation today! 

We’ve kept Washington’s elections secure, non-partisan, and trusted for the past eight years. With your help, we are going to keep that streak going!

All the best,

Kim
