Celebrating traditional American Values

Bellevue - On November 5, 2024 Night was a great night for the American people. We are righting our ship of state at the federal level.
It was also great night in Bellevue, where 700-plus joyful people gathered with the Washington State Republican Party (WAGOP) and local talk-radio hosts to celebrate Donald J. Trump and J.D. Vance’s strong showing—in both the electoral college and the popular vote.
Their win in the national popular vote was especially impressive. The WAGOP extends its warmest congratulations and gratitude to our President-Elect, Vice President-Elect, and their families.
Here in Washington state, we extend our gratitude to Raul Garcia, MD, Dave Reichert, Dan Matthews, Pete Serrano, Dale Whitaker, Dave Olson, Matt Hawkins, Sharon Hanek, and Phil Fortunato for running for statewide executive positions.
We are watching the races for WA Commissioner of Public Lands and the open seat on WA State Supreme Court. And we’re doing more than just watching. We are actively curing challenged ballots in support of Jaime Herrera Beutler and David Larson, respectively, in those races. We believe they have paths to victory, as cured and late-arriving ballots are counted.
We believe the same thing about Green Beret combat veteran Joe Kent, running for U.S. Congress in WA’s Third District. And we congratulate Mike Baumgartner for his election to the U.S. Congress in WA’s Fifth District.
The WAGOP is greatly encouraged by the strong performance of common-sense conservatives running in the 14th Legislative District in central WA. Curtis King, Gloria Mendoza, and Deb Manjarrez are all well ahead of their opponents. Their success proves that the gerrymandering scheme concocted by radical leftists in Seattle didn’t work.
Finally (for today, anyway), we’re concerned about the effect that the weaponization of the Public Investment Impact Disclosures (PIIDs) has on the people’s initiative process. As we’ve argued in court, we believe the PIIDs included on this general-election ballot by the outgoing WA Attorney General were intentionally misleading. We believe they exploited well-meaning voters and tricked people into voting against their actual intent. We will continue to press—in the legislature, in the courts and everywhere else—to fix the state’s flawed and now weaponized PIID scheme.
“This morning was beautiful in western WA,” says WAGOP Chairman Jim Walsh. “The sun rose, the sky was clear. American government is headed in a better direction. The WAGOP is motivated. We will continue to fight the good fight on behalf of working people, families, and children all around Washington.”
