I am Shirley Sutton, running for 32nd Legislative District Representative, Position 1 and I am proud to have received the endorsements from the King County Democrats, the Snohomish County Democrats, and the 32nd LD Democrats.

I began this campaign at the urging of 32nd District voters who, like me, champion affordable housing, environmental sustainability, and public education. The 32nd District wants a legislator who represents the concerns of Main Street and won't be beholden to the largest corporations in this state. They need a representative who understands that developers have failed to provide housing that people can afford. The 32nd District deserves a legislator who will protect public assets and our beautiful environment for future generations.

As legislator I will oppose siphoning off pubic school funding to for-profit charter schools. Our children deserve adequate food, clothing and secure housing. I will support fair taxation and oppose measures which transfer wealth from the 99% to the wealthiest individuals and corporations. I will end the massive tax exemptions currently gifted to the largest corporations by the state legislature. I oppose cruel cuts to safety net programs that are essential to meet the needs of our neighbors.

I ask for your vote because the Coronavirus epidemic and current political upheaval demand that minority and marginalized voices be represented. I promise to bring my experience and strong values to my every decision in the state legislature. I won’t be beholden to Super PACs or big business lobbies. I am a leader for justice, equity and diversity in our community and I thank you for your consideration.
