Jason Ritchie starting 2016 campaign against Reichert now

Aggressively registering voters and uncovering new supporters well before actually filing indicates that this guy is really serious. Turnout will be much higher in 2016, which should help. If you don't live in the 8th CD, there are still ways you can help.

Jason's 2016 campaign for the 8th Congressional District is now well underway. We have held multiple organizing events and meet weekly in Issaquah, reaching out to potential supporters and volunteers. You've probably already been contacted about getting more involved with our efforts!

I realize everyone has a busy life, but we're here early in the campaign cycle because we believe our future is brighter with Jason Ritchie as our Congressman. Your support in this effort is needed and is very appreciated -- we can't do it without you! Below are options to help you stay connected with the campaign:

oin Issaquah Volunteers every Thursday from 6-8:30 pm, 330 Rainier Blvd North off Dogwood & Front Street. Feel free to email Field Coordinator, Lori Carson, at Field.RitchieForCongress@gmail.com for more information;

Follow us on Facebook! www.facebook.com/jasonritchieforcongress and share our updates with your friends;

Follow us on Twitter! https://twitter.com/Ritchie4wa8 and retweet us;

Sign up for emails from Jason (choose "Get Updates" on the right side of home page) http://www.ritchieforcongress.com/home and share with your network to spread the word!

Contribute to the campaign here: https://act.myngp.com/Forms/7280480615374653440. Any amount is welcome - our goal is to have $5 from every supporter by March 31st and have a strong showing for our 1st quarter fundraising deadline!

Sign up to volunteer here: http://ritchieforcongress.com/volunteer

2016 will be a good year for us. We expect great turnout for a strong Democratic Presidential campaign will provide opportunities for Democrats statewide. We have the best chance in 12 years to turn the 8th Congressional District campaign into a 2016 Democratic win. Your help with the options above will be an enormous help.

Please share this email with friends who might help in our efforts and thanks for all or your work to make Washington better,

Michelle Meyer

Yes, but more than that he needs to take advantage of the changing demographics eridani Mar 2015 #2

It touted what Reichert did as King County Sheriff but said absolutely nothing about his Congressional record. Basically he's been little more than a rubber stamp for John Boehner.

If Ritchie gets the Democratic nomination he needs to make Reichert's Congressional record an issue.

He's focusing on getting young people and the Hispanic community more involved.
