2026 General Election – a Message from Sue Forde

The 2026 General Election in Washington State (and focusing on Clallam and Jefferson counties), is a crucial one with the opportunity to turn our beautiful state toward a more business-friendly, farm-friendly, worker friendly and people friendly one.  We have strayed away from the basic principles which our Founding Fathers gave us 250 years ago, and although we have a wonderful State Constitution, the trifecta in our state capitol in which Democrats hold the majority in the House, the Senate and as Governor, has taxed and taxed and taxed – and spent more than ever in the history of our State.  This year, we can change the direction toward a more conservative budget, one which will serve the needs of the people but not place hardships upon us, by voting Republican or Independent for those candidates reflecting the values we so cherish.

Each year, I offer for consideration what I call “Sue’s Picks”.  After careful consideration of candidates and issues, I share this information with the hope that it may help you in your decisions.

It is imperative that you vote as early as possible, and use the ballot boxes rather than the US Post Office.  You can check to see that your ballot has been received and counted by going to My Vote.WA

Sign in and you can see the status of your ballot.  No one can see “how” you vote; this allows you to verify that your ballot (a) has been received; and (b) has been accepted, and not rejected.  If it shows as “rejected”, contact the election division at the county to be sure your vote gets counted.  (Sometimes the signatures don’t match to what the county has on file.)
