Jason has been running a smart campaign with heart and now he is pulling out the stops. We have 15 days to join with Jason and Team Ritchie to make a life-changing difference for WA-08 and the nation. Incumbent GOPer Dave Reichert wants to be governor of Washington state. What a difference it will be to have Jason in the House and send useless Tea Party voting incumbent Dave Reichert home!
Ballots are mailed to Democrats in WA-08. All that's needed is getting them to fill them out and mail them in! How you can help: October 21st, 22nd phone banks with Team Richie and October 23rd open house. You can also phone bank from home, even from out-of-state, donate, tweet, like on Facebook and above all VOTE.
Blue America’s last endorsement of the 2014 cycle is #JasonRitchie...It’s one of the likeliest districts for a Democratic take-over in the country, but Steve Israel has taken it off the table and the DCCC is not contesting it or helping Jason in any way.
We feel that once Steve Israel is gone from the DCCC, WA-08 will be a natural battleground for the Democrats and we are impressed that Jason has talked about the need to mount a two-cycle strategy for taking back the district...
“We’re running a strong field operation with over 260,000 voter contacts to date,” he told us this week. “Win or lose, I’ll be back in 2016 and we’re building the infrastructure, identifying the voters, and organizing to win now and in the future. This is a purple district. This is a winnable district— but I need your help in order to make that potential a reality.”....
There are daily phone banks in Issaquah, an open house every Thursday and a South end phone bank in Federal Way. It's full steam ahead! Details and more information below the swirly Democratic landslide win symbol.
What a deal! You multiply your vote with every call where you make a connection and encourage a Democratic voter to mail in their ballot.

Jason on Ebola: Congressional Cuts Have Consequences
When Congressman Reichert and the House GOP voted to cut the National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control by over $1.5 billion, they damaged the United States’ ability to prevent Ebola from becoming a health risk at home.
Dr. Francis Collins, the head of the National Institutes of Health spoke recently about the devastating impact the Sequester and other cuts have had on the organization’s efforts, "NIH has been working on Ebola vaccines since 2001. It's not like we suddenly woke up and thought, 'Oh my gosh, we should have something ready here.' Frankly, if we had not gone through our 10-year slide in research support, we probably would have had a vaccine in time for this that would've gone through clinical trials and would have been ready."
...These cuts are a danger to our nation and if elected to Congress, I'll sponsor and fight for legislation that reverses these cuts to vital programs and gives the scientists and doctors the resources they need to fight infectious diseases that threaten America and people around the world....
Jason is a progressive on all the
issues including his stand on education, infrastructure, equal pay, energy, job creation/small business growth, social security/Medicare, organized labor and the minimum wage. President Obama is doing all he can with Executive Orders. Think of what he could do with more Democrats with these progressive beliefs and convictions in the House!
