DFER-WA protects and elects courageous Democrats to Washington’s school boards, city council seats, and state legislature, based on their alignment to a student’s first agenda that prioritizes equity, racial justice, and closing opportunity and achievement gaps. In the past two years alone, DFER-WA achieved significant progress both in terms of helping to enact the right policies for kids, and supporting champions willing to stand for all children. Through electoral work, DFER-WA helped elect Guy Palumbo, a known DFER champion, to the state legislature, and protected DFER champions Mark Mullet, Ruth Kagi, and Steve Hobbs from challengers.
