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.
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.
Ballots must be turned in not later than 8:00 PM on November 3rd, 2020.
Ballots can be dropped off into a King County Elections Ballot Drop box. Here are the Eastside locations and they are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week until 8PM sharp on November 3rd:
Kirkland City Hall
Redmond City Hall
Redmond Community Center at Marymoor Village
Sammamish City Hall
Kingsgate Library
Woodinville Library (on Avondale Rd.)
Duvall Police Department Depot Park
Bothell City Hall
Kenmore City Hall
If you are going to drop your ballot off at a ballot drop box on November 3rd, please allow extra time. Expect long lines as 8:00 PM approaches and the cut off is 8:00 sharp. If you find a long line, park and walk your ballot directly to the drop box so it arrives by 8PM. There are often people who are in line but did not get their ballot dropped in the box by 8:00. Their ballot will be collected but it will not be counted. Don’t be one of those who missed being counted by ‘just a minute’. Take care of it earlier in the day.
You can also mail your ballot via the US Postal Service with no postage required. Again, it must be mailed in time to be postmarked before 8:00 PM on November 3rd. Do not mail after 4pm Tuesday – go to an Official Drop Box instead, as they are open until 8pm.
Your ballot envelope must be signed and dated
Things to keep in mind if you need help:
You can designate someone to help you, but it is up to you who you select.
It is a crime for someone to deceive you or record your vote inaccurately
You can get assistance from King County Elections if you have a disability that makes using the ballot difficult. You may have to go to their Renton office for this help. Your residential facility may be able to provide transportation. King County Elections is located at 919 SW Grady Way, Renton, WA and can be reached via phone at (206) 296-8683.
Don’t let anyone influence how you vote your ballot. It is YOUR ballot.
Protect the possession of your ballot until it is properly submitted in the ballot drop box or postal service receptacle.
Do not let anyone inhibit your access to your ballot. Nobody can vote for you. It is the law.
Our goal is to have very high participation and an election with no fraud. We are all well served when the outcome of any election is an accurate reflection of the will of the people. Please be vigilant in protecting your ballot; don’t be a victim of any kind of ‘ballot harvesting’ scheme.
Please take a minute to email our two U.S. Senators to vote to CONFIRM Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court!
If the procedural steps are followed, the final vote is expected Monday evening, so you have Sunday or early Monday to send your email. Your message can be just a simple “please vote to confirm Amy Coney Barrett to the U.S. Supreme Court”. This is an historic nomination and Amy Coney Barrett has more than earned this confirmation. Let’s help boost her support!
Phone calls on Monday to their Seattle or D.C. offices also help.
