2025 General Election Endorsements

Elect Immigrant Champions to Office

It is time for us to create our thriving home, a place where immigrants and refugees are equal, valued and loved. To get there, we need legislative champions represented everywhere decisions for our communities are made. OneAmerica Votes makes endorsements with the goal of increasing the power and voice of immigrant and refugee communities in government. To be endorsed by OneAmerica Votes candidates must demonstrate their commitment to work alongside us and deliver on the issues most important to our communities. 

OneAmerica Votes Leaders and Board Members understand what’s at stake. They come together to interview and vote to endorse candidates who have pledged to create a thriving home where: 

  • Families are together and free 
  • We are all safe 
  • We all have equal access to opportunity 
  • We all belong 
  • We all have our voices heard 
  • We all have what we need 

OneAmerica Votes will be screening candidates this spring for endorsement for elections around the state. Stay tuned for more information about our future endorsed slate of candidates.

Alexis Mercedes Rinck has a reputation for bringing people together around solutions – and making them happen. She has spent her life taking on the tough fights: championing regional agreements at the Sound Cities Association and KCRHA, organizing marches against the actions of the Trump Administration, and educating communities about corporate money’s influence in elections and policy.

Having witnessed firsthand the impacts of incarceration, homelessness and substance use disorder, Alexis fights for progressive change and housing equity because she knows what it is to struggle. Having won a special election for District 8 on the city council last fall, she believes that it’s time for the next generation of Seattle leaders to step up and shape the city’s future.

A renter, transit rider, former restaurant worker, and multi-racial woman, Alexis will bring important representation and an abundance of expertise to the City Council to ensure Seattle is affordable, safe and welcoming for all.
