Contribute now to support Suzan DelBene in Washington State.
Council for a Livable World has endorsed Suzan DelBene for Congress because she is a quality candidate that can be elected the next Representative of the 8th Congressional District. This progressive Democrat supports President Obama’s vision of a nuclear weapons free world. She also opposed the invasion of Iraq and supports vigorous pursuit of a negotiated solution to the diplomatic stand-off with Iran.
DelBene faces a tough general election against Reichert, who had $1 million in his campaign account as of July. With your support, DelBene can run a competitive campaign and have a real chance to win this Congressional District seat for Democrats.
Reichert has served three terms, but this district has been growing steadily more Democratic. In 2000, just 33% of the state legislative seats in this district were held by Democrats. Today Democrats represent 70% of the legislative seats there. This trend puts DelBene in a strong position to defeat Congressman Reichert.
Remember that 100% of your contributions to candidates go directly to their campaigns; Council for a Livable world does not take a penny.
