The primary election voting period ends next Tuesday, August 2nd. It is important to vote in the primary as it will narrow the field for two important positions - County Commissioner in the 3rd District and the16th LD Position 1. The voters in District 3, mostly the western part of the County, will determine which two candidates will be on the November 8th general election ballot. If you’re not registered to vote it isn’t too late - one can register online at SOS.WA.GOV or the county website and in person as late as Tuesday, August 2nd at the Elections Office at the County Courthouse in Walla Walla.

The November 8th general election will put people in power who will play an important role in ensuring that the people’s will prevails in the 2023 and 2024 elections.

I urge everyone to look at the excellent candidates running on the Democratic ticket for local and legislative district-wide offices. Go to wallawalla.wa-democrats.net for a list of candidates endorsed and supported by the local party. Also listed are key races in Washington at the federal and statewide levels.

Please vote!

Sincerely,

Kari Isaacson
