Progressive Voters Guide endorses Nicole
Nicole Macri has been an effective leader on affordable housing, homelessness, human services, and mental health for many years. She is running to expand affordable housing options, create a sustainable transportation system, fully fund our schools, close the gender pay gap, and ensure LGBTQ people are free from discrimination. Macri - an out lesbian - would be the first woman elected to the state House in the 43rd in more than 20 years.
Her opponent, Dan Shih, is also progressive and a leader in the LGBTQ community. He received a dual endorsement along with Macri from NARAL Pro-Choice Washington. However, Macri's experience and numerous endorsements from our Progressive Voters Guide partners make her the best choice in this race.
