Ballots & Bubbly 2026
Ballots & Bubbly is a fun and friendly event where people can chat with local candidates, build relationships with fellow residents of the 43rd, and vote for their preferred candidate in upcoming races on the November ballot! This will include candidates for the State Senate and State House, the State Supreme Court and Seattle Municipal Court, County Council and County Assessor, and more!
This is THE event of the year! Not only is it a great opportunity to learn about candidates by talking with them, but we host a just-for-fun straw poll over the course of the event. Each attendee will get tickets for the straw poll when they arrive and they can choose how use them to vote. Some people like to spread them across races while others like to put all their tickets behind their favorite candidate. Additional tickets will also be for sale if you want to make sure that you favorite candidate wins! All processed go to support the 43rd LD Dems and will help us print slate cards during election season and support upcoming events including our Summer BBQ and Winter Party.
