Democrats on the March!
 Democrats
in the 34th District are coming out in large numbers to parade at the Strawberry Festival,
Hi-Yu, Burien and Jubilee Days. We are well on the way to re-electing our great legislative
trio, State Senator Eric Poulsen, Rep. Eileen Cody and Rep. Joe McDermott.
And we'll help return U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell to DC and help regain a Democratic
majority in Congress.
