The 24th LD is the largest district by land mass in Washington State. It spans the Olympic Peninsula from Neah Bay in the northwest (where Patrick lives), across to Port Townsend in the northeast, down to Grays Harbor in the southwest, and cuts off at the Mason County and Kitsap County border in the southeast.Our three counties are Clallam, Jefferson, and Grays Harbor, and we are home to seven recognized Tribal Nations, including the Makah, Quieleute, Hoh, Quinalt, Lower Elwha, Jamestown S'Klallam and Port Gamble (just outside the district border in Kitsap County)!If you're curious what legislative district you live in, you can use this official tool from the Washington State legislature to find out: <a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/districtfinder">https://app.leg.wa.gov/districtfinder</a>

<h2>How to handle donations on your website</h2>Run does not process donations directly on our platform, as is standard with most political and advocacy sites.Campaigns are often required to comply with reporting requirements, donation limits, and other regulations, so using a donation processor that specializes in serving campaigns is generally a good idea. Sign up with a donation processor and then on your Pages sidebar, click the Link icon on the Donate page and add the link to your donation page. Some common options for donation processing include:<ul><li><a href="https://secure.actblue.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">ActBlue</a></li><li><a href="https://www.campaigndeputy.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Campaign Deputy</a> </li><li><a href="https://goodchange.app/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">GoodChange</a></li><li><a href="https://numero.ai/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Numero</a></li><li><a href="https://www.ngpvan.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">NGP VAN</a></li></ul>

He's fought wildland fires outside Sequim and cleaned up oil spills off our coasts. An elected tribal leader and non-profit executive, Patrick has seen firsthand what works and what doesn’t out on the Peninsula. He'll bring people together to find real solutions.

Page Intro

"I’m running to protect our way of life on the Peninsula and address the issues impacting us that have been ignored for too long. I’ve seen first-hand how public policy can improve our lives, but also stand in our way. I'll bring new energy and creativity to find real solutions that work for us."

Issues

Reversing cuts to the education legacy trust fund which supports lower class sizes, childcare affordability, school facility improvements, special education programs and more.

Investing in apprenticeship programs and economic opportunity in rural communities so everyone has access to good-paying jobs and can afford the basics.

Making it easier to build affordable housing and increasing investments that support development to put homeownership in reach for families that are struggling.

Lowering sales, property, and gas taxes that disproportionately impact working people because its not enough to just increase revenue we need to truly balance our upside down tax code.

Preventing hospital and clinic closures and expanding access to affordable healthcare so no one has to choose between paying for housing and getting the care they need.

Taxing ultra-wealthy individuals and massive corporations to fund the essential services we need to thrive here on the Peninsula.

Managing our forests, waters, and fisheries to create more opportunities for us, while preserving our natural resources for generations to come.&nbsp;

Achieving world-class education for every child by supporting our teachers, paraeducators, administrators, and staff with good pay, benefits, and a safe workplace.

<h3>The issues impacting the Peninsula have been ignored for far too long— Patrick DePoe will fight for us.</h3>
