Announcements
Legislative Committee Calls to Action
Recently, we asked you to write to your representatives to show support for a selected set of bills. What a great response! Since then, HB1169 has passed the house! If passed by the Senate, this bill will begin to fix our sentencing structure. Thank you for your efforts and for being part of this victory. If you haven’t yet reached out to your representatives, there is still time to take action!
Skagit County Commissioners respond to pressure on FCCs
Commissioners passed a resolution halting staff work on the proposal to allow fully contained communities (FCCs) until such time as the Skagit GMA Steering Committee agrees to proceed with changes to the Countywide Planning Policies. This does not put an end to the proposal, but represents a significant setback to developers Skagit Partners LLC. It is a step in the right direction. Keep up to date on the opposition below.

We are dedicated to achieving peace, prosperity, and opportunity.
Our platform rests on the principles that there should be:
- Security for all
- Education, jobs and economic opportunity for all
- Accessible and affordable healthcare for all
- Rebuilding of our reputation in the world as a cooperative and just country
- Reversal of the erosion of civil liberties in our country
- Recognition that diversity strengthens our nation
- Economic and social policies that protect the environment
Skagit County Democrats adopt this platform to ensure that voters and candidates for public office understand and support our goals. Elected officials should adhere to this platform.
"I stand for simple justice, equal opportunity and human rights. The indispensable elements in a democratic society - and well worth fighting for."
