WASHINGTON — DLCC Spotlight Candidates Sen. Victoria Hunt and Sen. Deborah Krishnadasan just won their special elections defending their seats in the Washington Senate, despite Republican efforts to chip away at Democratic power in this chamber.
Washington Democrats will continue to be on the frontlines of holding Republicans accountable for their failed MAGA agenda and fighting for their communities.
Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee President Heather Williams issued the following statement:
“Tonight’s DLCC Spotlight Candidate victories reaffirm that Washington state voters trust Democrats to deliver for their communities in the face of the failed MAGA agenda. With Sen. Victoria Hunt and Sen. Deborah Krishnadasan returning to the legislature, voters will continue to have stable leadership that they can rely on to prioritize economic opportunity and fight on their behalf. ”
The Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee (DLCC) is the campaign arm of Democratic state legislatures and leads the national strategy for building power and winning new majorities. Over the last three decades, we have strategized cycle over cycle to win majorities and lead the effort to bring national attention and investment to our ballot level, winning nearly a dozen new chamber majorities over the last decade. Our work has ensured that nearly half of Americans are represented by at least one Democratic majority in their statehouse. State legislatures are the building blocks of our democracy and have the closest connections to Americans’ day-to-day lives. From protecting fundamental freedoms and voting rights to growing the middle class and advancing opportunity, the DLCC and state legislators are moving the Democratic agenda forward and shaping the future of this country.
