If you’ve ever dreamed of being a delegate in a presidential election, this could be your year. The Washington State Democrats are now hosting a series of online trainings on how to run for delegate. We're joined by chair of the Washington Democrats, Shasti Conrad, to talk about that and more.

Just a quick pod to talk about the threat posed by the third party called No Labels, and to let you know what you can do to help stop them.

They have recently announced they intend to put a Republican on the top of their presidential ticket. And they have also recently acknowledged that they have no chance of winning the general election outright, so their plan now is to attempt to deny 270 electoral votes to both the Democratic and Republican candidates, which would throw the election to the House--which would all but ensure a second Trump term.

Indivisible is asking members to write letters to the editor about the threat No Labels poses to the 2024 election, and have put together a list of talking points, which you can find in the link below.

In this year’s upcoming legislative session, Democrats in both the House and Senate will be reintroducing a wealth tax for Washington. Listeners to this show are aware that our state has the most upside down tax structure in the nation, and this bill would work to partially address that by levying a 1% tax on residents with assets above $250 million, impacting about 700 individuals here in the state.

The bill is being sponsored by Rep. My-Linh Thai (LD 41), who joins us to talk about the many benefits of a wealth tax for Washingtonians.
