As they are running unopposed, there will not be a vacancy election to vote in. This will conclude our fall election!

ACTION:
In September, Sen. Bernie Sanders announced plans to file a Joint Resolutions of Disapproval (JRD) to block over $20 billion in US weapons sales to Israel. A floor vote on the resolutions is expected to take place THIS week, making this an important time to call our senators and urge them to support this effort.
Washington State senators and their contacts are as follows:
– Senator Murray: 202-224-2621
– Senator Cantwell: 202-224-3441
Additionally, here is a short document with talking points and tips Call your Senators- Joint Resolutions.docx. Please take 5 minutes tops to make these calls and stop our governments complicity in the genocide in Gaza.
Solidarity forever,
Ty Stephenson and the rest of the Elections Committee
