Pramila Jayapal

(Prefers Democratic Party) statement appears human

I am proud to represent Washington’s 7th district and stand up for working people every single day. As your Congresswoman, I’ve worked to protect our democracy, raise wages, lower costs, build affordable housing, protect abortion rights, and fight climate change. I’m leading the fight for the Medicare for All Act to ensure that universal healthcare is a right, not a privilege. I also lead landmark legislation to make higher education tuition-free, guarantee housing as a human right, expand workers’ rights, raise the federal minimum wage, implement humane immigration reform, and establish an ultra-millionaire wealth tax. I lead bipartisan bills that ban stock trading for Members of Congress and protect Americans from government spying. I’m doing everything possible to get money out of politics and reform the Supreme Court. I’ve been on the frontlines of holding Trump accountable, including around the lawless ICE and CBP actions that have kidnapped and disappeared our neighbors. I established the Monopoly Busters Caucus to fight consolidation, corporate greed, and price-gouging. I have authored a War Powers Resolution to end Trump’s illegal war in Iran and worked with Epstein survivors to get justice against predators and pedophiles. I’ve held over 130 town halls and helped thousands of constituents, including veterans and seniors, secure over $25 million in federal benefits. My office has brought home more than $70 million in new federal investments for housing, transportation, jobs, and public safety. I’m proud to represent a diverse, innovative and compassionate district. I have never taken corporate PAC money because I fight for working people, not the billionaires and giant corporations. I would be deeply honored to have your vote. Endorsements: Labor unions including Washington State Labor Council, WFSE, UFCW 3000, NEA/WEA, and Washington State Building & Construction Trades Council. Planned Parenthood, Sierra Club, and the King County Democrats.

Nirav Sheth

(Prefers Republican Party) statement likely AI

My goal is to create sustainable & affordable housing to solve homelessness, bringing law & order back to Seattle & cheaper cost of living for everyone. My name is Nirav Sheth. My journey from a modest home in India to this stage was built on one belief: the American Dream is not a gift–it is a promise worth fighting for. I didn’t just come to this country; I earned my place here. I swore an oath to protect our nation, first as a United States Marine and later as a Police Officer. I know the grit it takes to keep a community safe and the discipline required to lead when there is no room for error. Today, our district is at a breaking point. If you believe our community is thriving, stay the course. But if you feel the higher cost of living & energy, unsafe neighbourhood, and the fading light of opportunity, it is time to turn the tide. I’ve felt this failure personally. My business, Bistro Baffi, was a victim of the very policies that are driving employers away and letting our neighborhoods crumble. I am also running for Congress to bring military-grade accountability to Washington, D.C. I also want to work on Real Solutions to help homeless people & Energy Independence. In the Marines and in business, I’ve managed budgets where every cent mattered. I will treat your tax dollars with that same sacred respect. My life has been defined by service; now, I ask for the honor of being your voice. Together, we will secure a legacy of prosperity for our children and bring growth back to our community.
