RSVP for Girmay's Biggest Campaign Event of the Year: Hometown Heroes on April 2
Dear Friends,
I’m excited to invite you to our biggest and most important campaign event of the year—my 3rd Annual Hometown Heroes Luncheon!
📅 Date: Wednesday, April 2, 2025
🕚 Time: 11:30 AM Doors, 12:00 PM Program
📍 Location: Paramount Theatre
🎟 RSVP Here: electgirmay.com/heroes
This event is all about honoring the quiet heroes among us—the neighbors, workers, and community leaders who make King County stronger every day. It’s also a chance to come together over lunch, celebrate our shared values, and support my campaign for King County Executive.
We’ll hear from special guest Governor Bob Ferguson, enjoy music and DJ skills from DJ Blast, and be surrounded by the incredible people who are shaping the future of our region.
I'd love it if you served as an Event Captain to help recruit your friends and networks! Reply to this email if you are willing to help recruit a few guests to sit with you.
We also need volunteers! If you’d like to get involved and help staff the event, click here!
This will be a powerful moment for our campaign. Let’s pack the room and show up for our community heroes! RSVP today:
We are #1 in endorsements from Elected Officials, Unions, Tribes and More
As reported last month, Girmay came out of the gate with major endorsements from Governor Ferguson, Attorney General Brown, Congresswoman Jayapal, and five major unions. Since then he has added to that total with big names like Congressman Adam Smith, Senate Majority Leader Jamie Pedersen and State Treasurer Mike Pellicciotti, bringing his total number of elected official endorsements to over 60—the most announced endorsements of any candidate in the race.
As state legislators return to Olympia next week to begin the legislative session, we also want to thank the legislators who have already endorsed our campaign:
- Senate Majority Leader Jamie Pedersen
- Senator Tina Orwall
- Senator Claudia Kauffman
- Senator Joe Nguyen
- Senator Bob Hasegawa
- Senator Rebecca Saldana
- Senator Javier Valdez
- Senator T'wina Nobles
- Senator Yasmin Trudeau
- Rep. Sharlett Mena
- Rep. April Berg
- Rep. Julia Reed
- Rep. Chipalo Street
- Rep. David Hackney
- Rep. Shaun Scott
- Rep. Edwin Obras
We are #1 in fundraising by a wide margin, raising more than all other candidates combined
“Raised More Than All Other Candidates Combined”
Girmay has widened his financial lead to over $100,000 and continues to raise more than the other candidates in the race combined. He has also received contributions from more individual donors than any other candidate, demonstrating the broad grassroots enthusiasm behind his campaign. In January alone, Girmay raised an additional $100,000, bringing his total to a record-breaking $415,000 in just the second month of the campaign. His ability to raise significant resources early—both in total dollars and in grassroots support—ensures that our campaign will have the infrastructure needed to run a winning operation throughout 2025.
