34th District Democrats Newsletter June 5, 2018

Primary Considerations 
Today Californians go to the polls, where a crowded field of enthusiastic Democratic candidates and the states’s “top two” primary system could cost Democrats their best shot at taking control of the U.S. House of Representatives. Three districts that Hillary Clinton won handily currently have Republican representatives and Democratic enthusiasm should make each of them flippable: the 39th, 48th and 49th. But that same Democratic enthusiasm has inspired a flurry of new candidates and that raised fears Democrats could actually end up getting shit out by splitting their votes among too many candidates, leaving only Republicans still standing after today.
 
34th District Senate Race
Here in the 34th we face a similar situation, though fortunately much more Democratic leaning voters - Hillary Clinton received just over 80% of the vote here in the last presidential election. We have 7 candidates who’ve filed as Democrats (though only 6 who currently identify as Democrats with their PDC filings). If Democrats split their votes 7 ways we could end up with a situation where no Democratic candidate makes it through the primary - in a District where Democratic voters make up over 80% of the electorate! The consequences could be dire: two of the candidates we just defeated in Burien last fall are among the 11 candidates running.
 
Smart Choices and Opportunities
It’s in times like this that the 34th can really serve the electorate in our communities, by helping select the strongest, most viable candidates to endorse. 
 
Not all of these 7 are eligible for endorsement at this point, since we require that candidates fill out the KCDCC candidate questionnaire to be considered for endorsement. ​

So the question before us if/when we endorse in this race will be which candidate or candidates are most likely to galvanize voters and ensure that after the August primary we have a choice between two qualified and well-prepared Democratic candidates?
 
Learn about the Candidates on the Issues 
All 5 candidates who’d both filed as Democrats and were listed as Democrats on the PDC website participated in our candidate forum last month (Annabel Quintero has since updated her PDC filing to state that she is Democrat). The West Seattle blog has video from the forum available here: http://westseattleblog.com/2018/05/video-5-state-senate-candidates-34th-district-democrats-forum/
 
Follow the Money 
One indicator of viability is fundraising. You can see how much each candidate has raised as well as where they’re getting their money from (Is it mostly individual contributions? Are they contributions from within the district? Is the candidate self-funding? Etc.). You can research campaign contributions for this race on the PDC website here: https://www.pdc.wa.gov/browse/campaign-explorer/candidates?jurisdiction_code=4763&election_year=2018&office_code=12
 
We look forward to seeing you Wednesday June 13th at the Hall at Fauntleroy!

In solidarity,
David
