Time is Running Out

Friends, Time is running out—we have 35 days until ballot boxes close on the August primary, and Democrat Denny Heck is facing off against a slate of dangerous Republican challengers the Trump administration would love to elect to public office. Why? Because Donald Trump knows that Democrat De…

Happy Pride Month!

Happy Pride Month, friends!  This picture, hanging in my office, is one of my all-time favorites.  Each time I see it, I can’t help but think of how much progress we have made for the LGBTQ+ community since this parade back in 2012. Landmark decisions in state governments and the Supreme Cou…

Missing Baseball Season

Friends,  I don’t know about you, but a quintessential part of my summer is usually baseball season. My love of baseball is deep in my family, as my cousin, Steve Bedrosian, was the National League Cy Young award winner in 1987.  Steve’s son, Cam Bedrosian, currently plays for the Los Angele…

Father's Day

Happy late Father’s Day, friends! This weekend, I took some time away from the campaign and be with my family. We drove around the beautiful South Sound, went down to Burgerville (my favorite hometown burger joint), and reflected on some of my favorite moments in fatherhood.  I am proud to …

Last week I joined folks in Parkland to hold a vigil for a young Black man, Manuel Ellis, who was killed in Tacoma.  It is important we remember Manuel, and join our Black communities who are demanding justice by protesting in solidarity. We have a moral responsibility to act against these injus…

Why I’m endorsing Denny Heck

100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment

    Dear Friend:    The year 2020 marks the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, guaranteeing and protecting a woman’s right to vote. While this historic milestone ought to be celebrated, we still have work to do -- even 100 years later. Alice Paul said it best at its time of passage in …

What Commitment Means to Me

    Friends,   Today marks one of the most important days of my life. In front of family and friends, my then-fiance Paula and I looked into each other’s eyes and said two small words that have had a bigger impact on our lives than we could have ever possibly imagined.    “I do.”     …
