Campaign Organizer
Jason Rittereiser for Congress
About the candidate:
Jason was born and raised in Ellensburg. His deep roots in Washington's 8th Congressional District, which stretches from the factories and high-tech companies in King and Pierce Counties to the farming and ranching communities of Eastern Washington, give him a unique understanding of the diverse character of the 8th district.
Jason served as a criminal prosecutor for King County in the Special Assault Unit and the Violent Crime Unit, bringing justice to crime victims and holding criminals accountable. Now, as a labor employment lawyer, Jason works to protect the rights of employees, as a voice for thousands of Washingtonians who have faced discrimination in the workplace, had their wages stolen by their employers, or have faced injustice. From these experiences advocating on behalf of people, working families, and the homeless population, Jason has learned how strong leaders advocating for what's right can make a difference in people's lives, knowledge he will take with him to Congress as a Representative of the 8th district.
Jason is one of the top Democratic candidates running to replace Rep. Dave Reichert in the 8th district. The seat has never been held by a Democrat before. Since Reichert announced his retirement in September, 2017, three-time statewide candidate Dino Rossi has entered on the Republican side.
