Jason Call Email & Phone Number

My name is Jason Call. I have a 30-year history of progressive activism. I am a husband, father, a former public school math teacher, musician, and progressive activist. Over the last few decades, I have stood up for working class values around war, healthcare, education, and our environment.I am running for Congress because here in Washington state, a supposed bastion of progressivism, it's high time that our district be represented by someone who values people and planet over profit.I served as an elected representative to the Washington State Democratic Central Committee from 2016 to 2020, elected as part of the “Bernie-wing” by fellow local progressives. I introduced — and passed — progressive resolutions and platform amendments on reasonable firearms control, rejection of health insurance and pharmaceutical PAC money, opposition to Democratic Party blacklisting of progressive vendors, and housing justice. I was a founding member of the Separation of Church and State Caucus and the Economic Justice Caucus, and was a member of the Environment and Climate Caucus and the Progressive Caucus.I previously ran for this office in both 2020 and 2022. In 2020, I earned almost 36,000 votes — three times the number garnered by any prior progressive challenger to the sitting incumbent since he was elected in 2000. In this election cycle let’s see what progressives can make happen with a seasoned candidate who has already had some success with the electoral system in Washington’s Second Congressional District. We ran on a solid platform of environmentalism, labor, healthcare, anti-war, education, and supporting the rights of all historically marginalized people. A platform that aligned then, as it does now, with the Ten Key Values that define the Green Party. Our message resonated strongly as a message of justice. The transition is an easy one. Will my transition to the Green Party give people who do not feel represented by the corporate duopoly a reason to show up?Will the youth vote be inspired by a candidate who truly speaks to preserving a livable and just future for them?A Republican will not win this seat. And an establishment Democrat will not challenge the incumbent. Change in Washington state can only come from the left.I have always believed that good government is possible, and I truly believe the adage that we do not inherit this planet from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.Solidarity!
