Moleses, the Voter Guider's nearly blind mole wizard mascot, squinting through thick glasses

Hannah Sabio-Howell

Prefers Democratic Party

Running for: State Senator, LD 43 · Washington

In their own words

Elected experience
None.
Professional experience
Communications Director, Working Washington, organizing alongside workers and unions to deliver higher wages and stronger labor protections for underpaid workers; Legislative Assistant and Communications Specialist, Washington State House of Representatives and Washington State Senate, supporting state lawmakers with research, strategy, and messaging on transformative policies like the Capital Gains Tax, Postpartum Medicaid expansion, Salary Transparency, and more.
Education
BA, Whitworth University (Political Science & Spanish, with Honors).
Paying rent, buying a home, and raising a family should be affordable. The reason they're not is because of career politicians who protect the status quo and cut deals with corporate special interests that keep costs high. That's why we're the only campaign in this race not taking corporate PAC money.

On endorsements, in their statement: “We're endorsed by progressive champions and unions like State Representative Shaun Scott, Seattle City Councilmember Alexis Mercedes Rinck, State Senator Rebecca Saldaña, Seattle Port Commissioner Toshiko Hasegawa, AFT Washington, and Working Families Party.”

In the candidate's own words, from the Washington State Voters' Pamphlet, 2026 General Election, Edition 04 (King County: Seattle), p. 48. Statements aren't fact-checked by the elections office or by us.
