On November 5, we decide.

At no point is a politician more qualified to make decisions about your health than you and your health care providers. 

Vote in every race on your ballot. We need leaders at every level of government who believe in reproductive freedom and will fight for it.

Vote YES on Emily Randall (D)
6th Congressional District

Elected in 2018, Emily Randall is the youngest elected member of the Washington State Senate and the first Latina to represent the 26th LD.  Throughout her service, Randall has never wavered from her vision to make health care accessible to all people, especially women, kids, and LGBTQ+ folks in Washington.

Randall believes that no one should have to declare bankruptcy to receive quality health care.  With access at risk across the country, she is ready to lead at the national level.

GET THE FACTS

Randall is a reproductive justice champion.
  • Randall is a tireless advocate for reproductive justice and health equity. A former Planned Parenthood staffer, these issues are a central part of her campaign. She understands these are health issues that impact entire communities, not just women. 
  • In 2023, Randall was the prime sponsor of the Affirm Washington Abortion Access Act, which updated our laws to expand access to abortion services and clarify existing laws in anticipation of the overturning of Roe v. Wade. 
  • As a Latina, Randall understands firsthand the negative impact of racism on the quality of health care received.
Randall will fight to dismantle gender identity- and sexual orientation-based discrimination in health care.
  • Her first year in office, Randall sponsored the Reproductive Health Access for All Act, a bill to prohibit insurance companies from discriminating against patients based on their gender identity.
  • With Randall’s lived experience as a queer woman, she deeply understands the discrimination that can occur based on gender identity and sexual orientation. Randall will continue the fight against such biases in the health care system.

Abortion opponents are trying to hide their records, but we know the truth.

In every state where anti-abortion politicians have the power to enact laws, they pursue restrictions on sexual and reproductive health care and total abortion bans.

Vote NO on Drew MacEwen (R)
6th Congressional District

During his time in the Washington Legislature, MacEwen has sponsored four extreme abortion bans and voted 11 more times to block crucial reproductive health legislation. His actions make it clear that he is out of touch with the values and priorities of Washington voters.

GET THE FACTS

MacEwen sponsored four extreme abortion bans.

All during the 2017-2018 legislative session:

  • MacEwen sponsored HB 1002, which would have blocked funding for abortion care.
  • MacEwen sponsored HB 1003, which would have required parental notification for abortion care.
  • MacEwen sponsored HB 1775, which would have banned abortion care after 20 weeks post-fertilization.
  • MacEwen sponsored HB 2294, which would have blocked funding for abortion care.
MacEwen voted 11 times against proactive sexual and reproductive health care legislation.
  • 2023-2024 legislative session: MacEwen voted against eliminating cost-sharing for abortion care.
  • 2023-2024 legislative session: MacEwen voted against protecting abortion providers and patients.
  • 2023-2024 legislative session: MacEwen voted against the state’s distribution of mifepristone, one of two abortion medications.
  • 2023-2024 legislative session: MacEwen voted against improvements to a new law protecting abortion providers and patients.
  • 2023-2024 legislative session: MacEwen voted against protecting abortion providers.
  • 2023-2024 legislative session: MacEwen voted against preventing the misuse of ultrasounds.

  • 2019-2020 legislative session: MacEwen voted against age-appropriate sex education.
  • 2017-2018 legislative session: MacEwen voted against expanding access to birth control.

Vote NO on Dave Reichert (R)
Governor

Since the overturn of Roe v. Wade, Washington has been at the forefront of defending access to abortion care, not only for Washingtonians, but also for those seeking the care they cannot get in their own state. 

Dave Reichert (R) would undo all of the protections in place for both patients and health care providers across the state and create even more harm. Reichert keeps trying to run away from his record, but the votes speak for themselves.

GET THE FACTS

Dave Reichert knows that his beliefs and his track record are a poor match for our state. That’s why he has repeatedly tried to hide the truth. But watch what he has done throughout his career, not what he says.

Reichert voted for nationwide abortion bans and supported the criminalization of doctors.
  • In June 2013, Reichert voted for HR 1797, a 20-week abortion ban requiring pregnant people to prove rape before accessing an abortion and would have imposed criminal penalties on abortion providers. 
  • In May 2015, Reichert voted for HR 36, which “would prevent women across the country from receiving an abortion at 20 weeks of pregnancy,” ignoring the many reasons why people need abortions later in pregnancy.
  • In October 2017, Reichert voted for H.R. 36, which would amend the federal criminal code to make it a crime for any person to perform or attempt to perform an abortion if the probable post-fertilization age of the fetus is 20 weeks or more. 
Reichert has tried for decades to not only restrict abortion access, but also punish those who access it.
  • In 2016, Reichert voted against legislation that protected pregnant people from being fired for getting an abortion or using birth control.
  • In 2005, Reichert voted to criminalize teens who are traveling across state lines to seek abortion care they could not get at home.
Reichert pays lip service to voters and says the opposite behind closed doors.

At a town hall hosted by an extremist anti-abortion group, Reichert openly expressed his goal to “unravel” key state laws and help elect other politicians to push his agenda. At the same event, he spouted anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric about marriage and trans athletes.

He tries to hide his true agenda, but Reichert’s record goes against Washington values: Reichert consistently voted to defund Planned Parenthood and strip affordable birth control and cancer screenings away from reproductive health care from low-income folks in 21 Washington counties.

The actions of politicians in neighboring states show us that the threats to our rights are real. We must do everything in our power to ensure that Washington remains a safe haven for sexual and reproductive health care, not only for our residents but also for those from other states who rely on us.

Vote NO on Jesse Young (R)
26th Legislative District, State House Pos. 1

Throughout his time in the Washington Legislature, Jesse Young (R) has sponsored 13 abortion bans and restrictions, and has voted against sexual health education and birth control access four times.

 

GET THE FACTS

Young sponsored 13 abortion bans and restrictions.

  • 2021-2022 legislative session: Young sponsored HB 1679, which would have banned medication abortion.
  • 2021-2022 legislative session: Young sponsored HB 1008, which would have banned abortion care based on the reason for seeking care.

  • 2017-2018 legislative session: Young sponsored HB 1003, which would have required parental notification for abortion care.
