Bill Sherman needs our help!

Back in the August primary election, Democratic voters in King County had the opportunity to decide between two excellent candidates each vying to be the party's nominee for prosecutor in the general election.

By a wide margin, they chose Bill Sherman, who has an extensive legal background and outstanding communications skills. As Bill's Democratic opponent told me a few days after the primary (with a smile) "I couldn't have lost to a better guy."

Bill is now facing off against Republican Dan Satterberg, who is already serving as interim prosecutor and wants to keep the office in GOP hands.

We think it's time for fresh insight, vision, and ideas. As the Seattle Post-Intelligencer editorial board said of Bill in its endorsement:
Prosecuting attorney, Bill Sherman makes the more compelling case. In Sherman, a Democrat, voters can pick someone who is well qualified, with diverse experience and possessed of a healthy interest in exploring new directions.

[...]

Sherman distinguishes himself with his ready interest in re-examining how resources are used and making sure a well-run office keeps up with the times.
Bill can win this race, but he needs our time, talents, and treasure to be successful. To help Bill's campaign, the local netroots community has launched a fundraising campaign to benefit Bill. Our goal is $5,000 by the end of this week.

It's not a massive amount of money, but every penny counts.

Will you join us in helping Bill cross the finish line first? Please donate to his campaign today. If you can't afford to help financially, consider volunteering. It's your contributions and commitment that make the critical difference. We've got a terrific Democrat at the top of our ticket - we just need to get him elected.
