Eileen Cody
Eileen Cody is a Group Health nurse and a solid progressive. She’s represented West Seattle in the state house for more than two decades and—bonus—she actually has an idea about how to fund public education: a capital gains tax! She’s also fought against funding charter schools, has supported compensation for the wrongfully incarcerated, and has successfully changed the law to treat substance-abuse disorders like mental-health problems. Cody’s opponent is a 19-year-old Republican whose main preoccupation is reducing the deficit in a state that already criminally underfunds education. He seems sweet. And clueless. And misguided. Vote Cody.
