Our guest speaker will be Dann Mead Smith, who will tell as all about Project 42, “a 501(c)(4) non-profit organization created to change the course of Washington state to prioritize free markets, personal liberty and an individual’s right to prosper.”

Dann was President and CEO of Washington Policy Center for 20 years before stepping down in fall 2021 to start his own firm, The Mead Smith Group. His main client is Project 42, which he co-founded in 2020. Some of the nonprofit groups launched or supported by Project 42 over the last year include Change Washington, League of Our Own Washington, The Center Square Washington, and Future 42. Come and learn how volunteers are building a conservative future for our state!

We’ll also discuss opportunities in the 2023 local elections and get the latest legislative updates. Looking forward to seeing you there!

AND…

Guest speaker Liv Finne, Director of the Center for Education at Washington Policy Center! Learn if Parents and Taxpayers are getting their money’s worth from our public schools, and how Washington State can catch up with other states on K-12 education choice.

Liv is the author of An Option for Learning: An Assessment of Student Achievement in Charter Public Schools, which in 2011 reignited the charter school debate in Washington state.

When charter schools came under attack from the state teachers union, she wrote “Analysis: Why the state supreme court ruling against charter schools is wrong.” She is also the author of Washington Policy Center’s widely-read education blog, and of Washington Policy Center’s Education Reform Plan: Eight Practical Ways to Improve Public Schools. Liv holds a law degree from Boston University School of Law and a Bachelor of Arts degree from Wellesley College.

The Seattle Times endorses Ryika Hooshangi for State Senate!

Ryika Hooshangi
Ryika Hooshangi

The Seattle Times finally acknowledged that leftist legislators like Manka Dhingra are too far left for our suburban district – calling out Dhingra for soft on crime and soft on heavy drugs (that are increasingly reaching our school kids!) as well as her excessive spending practices.  Sadly, in their endorsement they can’t resist making a few comments aimed to divide Republicans, but they did admit two key factors voters should remember – continued one-party control of our state government is BAD and Manka Dhingra is TOO LEFTIST for the 45th district.

https://www.seattletimes.com/opinion/editorials/the-times-recommends-ryika-hooshangi-for-state-senate-legislative-district-45/ 

The Times recommends: Ryika Hooshangi for state Senate, Legislative District 45

Voters in the 45th Legislative District should make a change in who represents them in the state Senate.

…

Challenger Ryika Hooshangi makes a compelling case that voters should make a course correction for the district, which includes parts of Kirkland, Cottage Lake, Sammamish and points in between. The Republican, who supports abortion rights, will help bring much-needed balance to the Legislature with a moderate, collaborative brand of politics that is progressive on social policies and conservative on fiscal issues.

Hooshangi’s impressive résumé shows the former diplomat has the chops to do so. An attorney by training, she worked for the U.S. State Department, traveling the world advising diplomats. She also was an adviser to the U.S. Senate Finance Committee for a few years. More recently, she chaired the board of The Borgen Project, the respected Seattle-based nonprofit that advocates for policies to combat global poverty. These days, she is in private legal practice and serving her community as an elected member of the Sammamish Plateau Water board.
