Hope, change, joy

Democrats are energized, confident, happy and committed. I believe it is important for citizens to show up and pay attention. The General Election in November allows voters to make their choice for our next President and Vice-President, U.S. Senator, Washington state’s Governor and all those many running for office to represent us.

We are not simply voting for our government officials and representatives this year. We are voting for our key freedoms and rights. On the ballot are voting rights, women’s rights, educational rights, people’s rights and fundamentally we vote for our democracy, our society and for our planet.

My hope and wish is for all eligible voters to become educated and informed and especially vote in our general election. I am loving the opportunity ahead for optimism, hope, compassion and inclusiveness winning over hate, fear, division, chaos and violence.

I hope you will join me in choosing to come on home people, let’s work on our collective brighter future and vote Democratic! Thank you for your consideration.

Bill Biery
