2023 Primary Election Endorsements

by Jeff Brock

OneAmerica Votes is excited to announce our slate of pro-immigrant candidates for the 2023 Washington State Primary Election! We believe these candidates will work with us towards our vision of a thriving home –  a place where immigrants and refugees are equal, valued and loved. View a list of our full slate below!

Here in Washington, we have the opportunity to ensure we all have what we need to thrive, no matter where we come from. OneAmerica Votes leaders understand what’s at stake and came together in Seattle, Vancouver and Yakima to interview and endorse candidates who are aligned in our vision and will work with us to build the power we need to transform our society.  

The primaries are on August 1! If you are registered and eligible to vote, you will begin to receive your ballots in the mail on July 14. Don’t forget to make your voice heard and vote in our primary elections. See who we’ve endorsed for some inspiration.
