The Washington State legislature debated this earlier this year but the solidly Democratic majority didn’t pass the bill for some bizarre and unknown reason.

And this is why we should have passed the Well Washington Fund. Maybe we can try again next year with a new 43rd LD senator. @hannahsabiohowell.bsky.social @organizewithshaun.bsky.social

Progressive challengers to moderate incumbents are winning elections nationwide because we are saying: believe your eyes. The crisis of affordability has gotten WORSE under status quo leadership, not better. Had the opportunity to talk about this on KIRO radio today. ⬇️

One of the coolest things: I walked into a coffee shop here in the 43rd I don’t usually get to go to, & the barista went “oh my gosh! You’re Hannah! I just signed up for a doorknocking shift with you!” 🥹 Be like Fianna who just made my whole dang day. Sign up here! hannahforwashington.com/events/

So you’ve been meaning to come out & knock doors with us & feeling sooo guilty because you haven’t yet — but never fear 😎 We have many more upcoming opportunities to volunteer! Sign up for a shift here: hannahforwashington.com/events/

Thank you to Seattle, the city and the World Cup venue. One of the best soccer settings over decades of global travels. The fans, the stadium, the backdrop, the waterways, the light rail, the noise, the food, the vibe, the soul. Well done, Cascadia.

Congrats to Seattle and Mayor Wilson

Folks are going to need to bust some ass for @hannahsabiohowell.bsky.social and @ronpdavis.bsky.social this political season if they don't want rich corporate democrats squandering what we have left of a future.

I will take the Nilu Jenks for D5 as a win. And will make sure that PEOPLE POWER gets @hannahsabiohowell.bsky.social elected this November! Let's gooooooo!

Today is a great day to donate and/ or sign up to volunteer for @hannahsabiohowell.bsky.social

A shockingly close call on how to read plain English in the first sentence of a constitutional amendment.

“‘We would not need to cut to the bone and ask working people to tighten our belts if we had been more willing to tax corporations and make sure that all the progressive revenue options were being taken seriously,’ [Sabio-Howell] said.” We were in the @seattletimes-rss.bsky.social today! Link ⬇️

Ya do absolutely love to see it

HUGE news!!! 💥 We’re incredibly honored to have earned Mayor Wilson’s endorsement. She ran to make Seattle a city that working people can afford to build good lives in, & that’s exactly our campaign’s vision too. Thank you for trusting us to be in the fight with you @mayorofseattle.bsky.social !

Not too late to sign up to march with us & @workingfamilies.org in the Seattle Pride Parade tomorrow 6/28! RSVP & get details here! www.mobilize.us/workingfamil...

A new @seattletimes-rss.bsky.social report is out: yet another very small tax on Washington’s wealthiest residents has blown past economists’ wildest revenue dreams — meaning the rich are either a) not leaving, or b) way richer than anyone knew & getting more so every day, or c) all of the above. 🧐

It’s such a humbling honor to have the backing of the 43rd Dems & the King County Dems, & to fight together for a future we can afford to build good lives in. Thank you!!!

As of tonight’s sole endorsement from @kcdems.bsky.social, we’re the only campaign in our race endorsed by all of the endorsing Democratic Party organizations! Against a powerful incumbent who has held this seat for 20 years, that’s a huge sign that the winds are shifting. We’re ready for change!

Join us on the doors this week or march in the Seattle Pride Parade with us, @workingfamilies.org, & other WFP-endorsed candidates! ALL are welcome! Details & RSVP at hannahforwashington.com/events!

Not a coincidence that we’re seeing a surge of millennial mayors running explicitly to make cities more affordable & speaking specifically to the ambitions of the next generations — NYC, Boston, DC, Baltimore, Cleveland, Seattle, and hopefully LA is next.

BREAKING NEWS: Seattle hotel workers organized with UNITEHERE Local 8 are on strike at Embassy Suites Pioneer Square, just steps from where the US v. Australia World Cup game will kick off Friday. Workers are fighting for fair pay, year-round healthcare, and protections from ICE.

(2/2) that includes building more housing, expanding universal childcare, fully funding public education, protecting immigrant and trans communities, and fixing our upside-down tax code by making wealthy corporations pay their fair share. ✨️ @hannahsabiohowell.bsky.social

Sage Leaders is proud to endorse Hannah Sabio-Howell for State Senate in the 43rd LD! ✅️ Hannah has spent her career fighting alongside workers, renters, and families to take power back from corporations and make Washington more affordable for everyone. She’s running on a bold vision (1/2)

I want "'Tax The Rich' Upstart" on a shirt (ICYMI: here's CHS Blog's write-up of last week's 43rd LD Dems forum and the 43rd's sole endorsement of our campaign!) 👇 www.capitolhillseattle.com/2026/06/43rd...

I KNOW THAT’S RIGHT! Congratulations @hannahsabiohowell.bsky.social !

LET’S GOOOOOOO @hannahsabiohowell.bsky.social

@hannahsabiohowell.bsky.social will be the Senator the 43rd LD deserves! She’ll be a strong fighter for labor protections, affordable housing, and a tax code that works for working people! 🥳

Just in: Hannah Sabio-Howell has received the endorsement of the 43rd District Democrats over her opponent, incumbent State Senator (and Senate Majority Leader) Jamie Pedersen. Pedersen losing the 43rd LD endorsement is a major upset.

Calling all current & former members of the 43rd District Democrats! It's not too late to renew your membership / join tonight's 7pm endorsements meeting! If you believe in our vision of an affordable WA & electing fighters to make that future real, hop on tn's call & help choose who gets endorsed!

Trillionaires shouldn’t exist. & we shouldn’t be paying higher healthcare premiums to fund their tax breaks. Here are some things states like WA should consider to level the playing field & make the ultra-wealthy pay back into the communities that made them so wealthy in the first place. Wdyt?

Buncha fun events coming up! 🎤 6/11 join us & our neighbors for a candidate forum 👕 6/13 join us for a joint canvas & t-shirt screenprinting party (bring a plain shirt to screenprint!) ✍🏽 6/14 come write thank you cards & make campaign friendship bracelets RSVP at hannahforwashington.com/events!

We’ve got our second forum of the season tomorrow (Thursday, 6/11) at First Baptist Church from 6:30-8. Come hear about our vision for an affordable Washington & get your questions asked & answered!

If raising sales taxes pisses you off, PAY ATTENTION TO THE WASHINGTON STATE LEGISLATURE and support candidates like @ronpdavis.bsky.social and @hannahsabiohowell.bsky.social who will push for *comprehensive tax reform policy* that will allow public agencies to actually raise progressive revenue.

In just 17 years, Seattle went from not having light rail to having the most ridden system in the nation. We’ve proven how leadership & investment can change a city and people’s lives for the better

Jas did such a beautiful job, so fun talking about the intentionality & pure love of our community that informed our design! (Fun fact: I biked all over the district taking photos of signs, storefronts, & flowers as I went, & we used those photos as inspiration for our overall brand 🚴🏽‍♀️)

Friends in the 43rd WA legislative district please support Hannah! She’s super cool and a huge supporter of policies that’ll help better the lives of people and not greedy pockets!

Just another terrific @chum.news piece!

We got to talk about all the intentionality & community inspiration that went into our campaign’s branding in this brilliantly-titled “The Art of Campaigning” write-up with @chum.news & it was sooooo fun. Give it a read! www.chum.news/the-art-of-c...

This first day of our first Bicycle Weekend was so fun & the hopecore I needed. Connected, safe cities for all road-users are not only possible but they’re happening right here & right now, bit by bit! 😍🚲

I'm seeing an utter onslaught of just disgusting political ads here in Los Angeles. Watching a young person put on a masterclass in communicating with their actual community is a breath of fresh air. Also that yellowish Dutch oven is top notch.

If Washington Democrats want to meaningfully fight against racist gerrymandering across the country, we need to articulate a path to getting that done & rebuild a better, stronger democracy in the process. Let’s talk about what it would actually take to win a Democratic supermajority in Washington.

Another great interview by @finchfrii.bsky.social this time with @hannahsabiohowell.bsky.social From the lightning round: “Do you support a statewide mandate requiring all employers to bargain with labor before implementing AI that could displace human workers? Yes.”

@hannahsabiohowell.bsky.social Big Support for Hannah Sabio-Howell! Let's gooooo 43rd District! www.officialhacksandwonks.com/hannah-sabio...

It was such a pleasure to talk about our campaign, our vision, and our favorite album (Dirty Computer by Janelle Monaé if you were wondering) with @finchfrii.bsky.social on @hacksandwonks.bsky.social ! As a long-time listener (and judger of other people's lightning rounds), this was such an honor :)

Wheeee we won the straw poll! Best part is: the 43rd Dems’ fundraiser was a super fun & warm (figuratively & literally 🥵 — it was hot in there!) community building opportunity to talk to our neighbors & other candidates about our vision for an affordable future. Thanks to everyone who came thru! 🧡

OUR 🗣️ FIRST 🗣️ UNION ENDORSER! We’re so incredibly honored to share that we’ve been dual-endorsed by AFT Washington. As the daughter of educators, it is an absolute privilege to have the support of a union whose members make Washington a place of potential & opportunity for so many. Thank you!!!

Yessss!!!!! 🗣️🗣️ New ballot dropbox in the 43rd LD! 🗣️🗣️

Wrapped our second day in a row of doorknocking in Fremont! 🚪👊🏽 Between yesterday & today we hit several hundred doors & had conversations with our neighbors about affordable housing, public safety, transit investments, & fixing our tax code. We also pet some cats.
