Endorsement of Lillian Kaufer

The Progressive Caucus of Snohomish County Democrats (PCSCD) is pleased to announce their endorsement of Lillian Kaufer for State Senate, 44th LD in the September primary election and, hopefully, beyond. The primary winner will challenge incumbent republican, Dave Schmidt in November. The PCSCD played an active role in the successful primary and general election campaigns of Dave Somers in 2005 as he reclaimed his seat on the Snohomish County Council from republican Jeff Sax. We are hoping for similar success for Lillian Kaufer.

Lillian will be facing off against another good Democrat, Steve Hobbs, in the primary election. In the end, the PCSCD based its endorsement on Lillian's compelling story as a wife and mother, small business owner, community activist, and active PCO in her LD. Lillian has a real-time understanding of the issues that face working people in the 44th LD and, with a background as a Girl Scout leader, fundraiser for the Everett Family YMCA, and "work from home mom", she brings solid "family values" credentials that will be hard to challenge in November. As a community activist, she has recently helped lead Citizens for a Better Mill Creek, an organization that supports living wage jobs and planned growth in south Snohomish County. Lillian has also been a leader in the effort to stop the encroachment of another Wal-Mart into Mill Creek. To help Lillian help us increase our Progressive opportunities in Olympia, visit her on the web at Lillian Kaufer for Senate

The PCSCD is comprised of some 30 plus members; active in six of the seven legislative districts in Snohomish County. Amongst our members are PCOs, LD-County-State Officers, and elected Democrats. While we are not an official arm of the county or state party, by encouraging participation in those organizations, we do seek to influence the policies and activities of those bodies. As we collect no dues from membership, our support to candidates and causes comes in the form of volunteer efforts such as door belling and phone banking. In addition to Lillian Kaufer, we have endorsed I-937 (The Clean Energy Initiative) and Mark Wilson for US Senate so far this year.

Ivan's Clean-Sweep Summary on KOS

Sergeant Ricky Clousing
We Americans have found ourselves in a pivotal era where we have traded humanity for patriotism. Where we have traded civil liberties for a sense of security. I stand here before you sharing the same idea as Henry David Thoreau: as an American, and as a Human Being, we mustn't lend ourselves to that same evil which we condemn." Quoted from:
Seattle Indymedia article.
