Senator Ken Jacobson, Rep. Phyllis Kenney and Rep. Jim McIntire
"Scott’s sincere commitment to our community and his proven success—both as a grassroots activist and a professional—make him the best person to represent the working families, children and seniors in the 46th legislative district."

Jan Ames - 1st Vice Chair of the 46th District Democrats and PCO
“Scott’s leadership and organizational skills have been absolutely critical to our success as an organization. We accomplished so much during his tenure as Chair of the 46th District Democrats. His commitment to the grassroots is second to none. He will make an outstanding Legislator!”

Carol Monahan, Seattle Public School Parent and Democratic PCO
“Scott is endorsed by the Washington Education Association and parents throughout the community for his knowledge and commitment to strong public schools!”

Virginia and George Gunby, Respected Community Leaders
“Scott understands that transportation decisions impact our neighborhoods and quality of life. He is a strong voice for transit and efficient transportation solutions!”

Bev Marcus, 46th District PCO 46-2260
"As a member of the 46th, I was impressed by Scott's committed efforts to ensure open debate among the membership on numerous, often controversial, issues--while always maintaining control of the discussion and meeting agenda. These skills are key to leading an active, engaged and empowered grassroots organization... and will make Scott an effective legislator in Olympia!"

Peter Steinbrueck, Community Activist and Former Seattle City Councilmember
“Scott is a proven leader and committed grassroots activist who has dedicated his life to making our community a great place to live, work and play. He is widely respected for his leadership on many issues, and he will have an immediate and positive impact on the policy agenda in Olympia. Scott will be our champion for better public schools, protecting the environment, improving health care and progressive transportation solutions in our state.”

Erin Clowes, Seattle Public School Parent and Neighbor in Wedgwood
“Scott is a grassroots campaigner who understands our neighborhoods and local priorities.”

Barbara Whitt, Community Activist and PCO
Burt Webb, Community Activist and Researcher
“At our very first meeting of the 46th LD, we were tremendously impressed by the skill with which Scott facilitated. He made sure every point of view was heard and kept on task and on time. His sense of fairness and diplomacy will ensure that he will have a positive impact in Olympia as he champions our community’s progressive values.”

Gail Chiarello, Neighborhood Activist and 46th LD Democratic PCO
“Scott has always been very accessible and helpful to our neighborhoods. When Friends of Magnuson Park (a group of environmentally activist neighbors) organized to limit the number of halide-lit, artifically turfed ballfields planned for Magnuson Park, Scott worked with me. A resolution endorsing a greener vision for Magnuson Park was approved by the 46th District Democrats and Scott on his own initiative took this to members of the City Council. Ultimately the Council reduced the number of ballfields and I feel it was a very successful citizen effort. If we had done nothing, the sports complex would have been twice as big. Scott is committed to grassroots activism!”

Jorgen Bader, Respected Community Leader
“As Chair of the 46th District Democrats, Scott showed great wisdom, fairness, and energy in presiding over its consideration of national, state, municipal and neighborhood issues; and with his experience working for King County, he'll represent us well in the legislature.”

Susie Coffaro, UW Junior (pictured center)

Chad Lupkes, 46th District Democrats Executive Board, Delegate to the King County Democrats (KCDCC)
"Scott has dedicated his life to working in public service and on the front lines of progressive politics… always focused on finding the best way to serve our communities. I've been inspired by his commitment to the grassroots, his strong positions on the issues and his dedication to taking the high road in this campaign—all of which are a reflection of his own positive community values."

Pat Emerson, 46th District Democrats Executive Board
Past President of The League of Women Voters and Past Chair of the Metropolitan Democratic Club
"Without a doubt, Scott is the grassroots candidate in this race. Scott has done more--by far--to build up and empower the grassroots in the 46th legislative district than any candidate in this race. His leadership, judgment and hard work during his award winning five-year tenure as Chair of the 46th District Democrats was outstanding! We need Scott working for us in Olympia!"

Frank Paganelli, King County Conservation Voters
“Washington Conservation Voters gave Scott our sole endorsement in this race because he is a candidate who believes passionately in the environmental ethic and has the experience and the temperament to be effective on those issues in Olympia.”

Soren Poulsen, Community College student
"Scott understands the challenges facing our higher education system. He is both a management professional in government and a teacher at the UW, so he has the unique perspectives of both a seasoned practitioner and an educator. He is also an amazing grassroots activist who puts people first!"

Tina Orwall, Past Chair of the 33rd District Democrats and Former Co-Chair of the King County Democrats Legislative Action Committee
"Scott and I served as Co-Chairs of the King County Legislative Action Committee for the past two years. During this time Scott was exceptional at mobilizing and empowering grassroots Democrats throughout King County to advocate for the Democratic platform in Olympia. Scott will make an exceptional legislator and he will truly represent the best of the grassroots in the 46th district!"

Rep. Pat Sullivan, 47th LD - Chair, Subcommittee on K-12 Education

Sarajane Siegfriedt, 46th District Democrats Executive Board and PCO
