CP Supported Candidate Slate of the Day!
Common Power is excited to announce our support for a dynamic slate of candidates running for various seats in Eastern Washington this year. All of these races will be close which is why CP has stepped up to help get these leaders across the finish line.
Our bilingual Program “Poder Comun” (Common Power in English) is heading into the field to knock on doors and spread the word with Spanish-speaking voters about these important races. Join us! Sign up here and read more about why we’re supporting these awesome candidates below.
Lisa Brown for Spokane Mayor
https://www.lisabrownformayor.com
Former State Democratic Senator Lisa Brown is seeking the Spokane Mayor’s office seat. Spokane has had conservative mayors for the last twelve years with the conservative incumbent winning the election in 2019 by just over a thousand votes. Brown won the primary this year and needs our support to get across the finish line for the general. She offers the chance to transform city and local government in Spokane with her campaign focused on increasing neighborhood safety, creating a thriving Spokane economy, increasing housing supply and home ownership, and addressing homelessness.
Dulce Gutierrez for Yakima City Council, Position 1
Website: https://www.dulceforyakima.com
With only 458 ballots cast in this race for the primary election this year, we are supporting Dulce Gutierrez who has a proven track record and experience representing the people of Yakima. Gutierrez graduated from the University of Washington but returned to Yakima to help improve the neighborhood where she grew up and works to increase Latinx representation in government. She was one of the first Latinas ever elected in Yakima City Council in 2015 and served one term after which she was involved in legal actions seeking to expand voting rights for the Latinx community. She’s decided to run for city council again this year and we are looking forward to going into the field this month to support her.
Sunnyside City Council Slate
Only 988 voters were cast in the primary this year for the Sunnyside City Council elections with three candidates making it through, but only by a very slim margin. These races could come down to a handful of votes in the general.
Vazquez received ~47% of the vote in the primary this year
Galvan received ~50.5% of the vote in the primary this year
