I will suggest one.<br /><br />In Washington State, Democrats have a Democratic governor and state house. There are more Democrats in the state senate, too, but because of one turncoat Democrat, the Republican caucus has had control of the senate for a number of years. They have been holding up much-needed legislation for funding education and social services. However, this could all change in the fall.<br /><br />In the 45th state legislative district, the Republican state senator recently died of lung cancer. By law, he was replaced a Republican, who has said he will not run in the special election in the fall. The 45th district voted for Clinton in 2016 by a margin of 65% to 28%. The district's two house members are Democrats, and the Democrats are highly motivated to win this seat.<br /><br />The only serious candidate to declare for the race is Manka Dhingra. She's raised about $100K, she's a King County deputy prosecutor, a PTA mom, a Golden Acorn winner, and a strong supporter of public education. She has the support of an extensive network of Indian immigrants, and she will be an appealing candidate for the many Microsoft employees who live in her district.<br /><br />I have said repeatedly that we will defeat the Republicans precinct-by-precinct, district-by-district. This is one of those districts. Democrats will start canvassing tomorrow, eight months in advance of the election. We can win this one. Here is more about Manka Dhingra:<br /><br />http://www.dailykos.com/story/2017/2/15/1634197/-Huge-Democrats-finally-have-a-chance-to-take-back-the-Washington-Senate-and-turn-the-state-blue<br /><br />And here is her website:<br /><br />http://www.electmanka.com/<br /><br />Washington State, I'm proud to say, has been a leader in the resistance. However, we're one legislative district away from shutting out the Republicans in our state. Contributions to Manka Dhingra's campaign could make a difference.<br /><br />Ludwig Richterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17145442092958521609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687347459208158501.post-4322990640707938992017-03-25T13:04:21.558-04:002017-03-25T13:04:21.558-04:00Let's all commit to send at least another $25 ...Let's all commit to send at least another $25 to Ossoff.
