DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES<BR><BR>Democrats are gaining momentum in Yakima County as
nearly 2,000 <BR>people attended the Yakima County precinct caucuses and more
than <BR>600 people participated in the County Convention. This
participation<BR>will make a difference in the Presidential Election - we can
elect <BR>Senator Barack Obama! <BR><BR>We can also increase the Democratic
majorities in the US Senate and <BR>House of Representatives. George
Fearing, attorney from the <BR>Tri-Cities, is running an aggressive campaign
against the current<BR>incumbent who has consistently supported the failed
policies <BR>of George W. Bush. <BR><BR>Here in Washington State, Gov. Chris
Gregoire and the democratic<BR>legislature have taken action with legislation
and funding <BR>benefiting children, families, farmers, and large and small
businesses<BR>(Washington is ranked by Forbes Magazine as the 5th best state for
<BR>businesses). In addition to Gov. Gregoire, we have a strong slate of
<BR>statewide democratic candidates, including Lt. Gov. Brad Owen, <BR>Insurance
Commissioner Mike Kreidler, Lands Commissioner Peter Goldmark, <BR>and
others.<BR><BR>In the 14th Legislative District, Vickie Ybarra is the only
Democrat <BR>running for the open seat for position #1. With the Top Two
primary <BR>method, Vickie needs all of our support to guarantee a spot on
<BR>the November ballot. Chris Ramirez, running for position #2 against<BR>the
incumbent conservative Republican, also needs our strong support<BR>in the
primary.<BR><BR>COMMUNITY CAMPAIGN NEWS-JULY<BR><BR>Here are key dates and
events for July. With the mail-in ballot, the date of<BR>ballot mailing is
important to the candidates. Your participation in July<BR>events will make a
difference!<BR><BR><BR>* 7/4: Volunteer to help register voters at the
