Working Groups

The 46th District Democrats are working on more than just getting Democrats elected to office. Our members care deeply about the issues that affect our lives. Some of these issues are national in scope, like Foreign Policy, and some are state, county or local. All of them deserve our attention, but with our limited resources, we can't work on everything. Below are the official working groups that we have formed within the 46th to work on specific issues.

At the annual breakout session in January of 2008, we gathering ideas on how to update the platform and talk about our ongoing Legislative efforts in Olympia and Washington DC. There were 8 breakout groups, with facilitators as follows:

• Human Services

  SaraJane Siegfriedt

• Election Reform

  Bev Marcus

• Civil & Human Rights; Law and Justice

  Vacant

• Education

  Janet Miller

• Foreign Policy

  Justin Simmons

• Labor & Economic Justice

  Stan Sorscher

• Environment, Energy & Transportation

  Chad Lupkes & Gerry Pollet

• Health Care

  Sheila Kohls

If you have another issue topic that you think we should be watching and voicing our opinion on, and you are interested in leading the effort, please let us know.
