Across our nation, Republican lawmakers are trying to ban the teaching of Social and Emotional Leanting (SEL). Many school boards that have been taken over by right-wing partisans demand the cessation of the program. Depriving students of the opportunity to develop SEL skills could happen here in Klickitat County, too.

Maybe you've heard the rumors and you thought, nah, that ain't gonna happen. Well, it did. In a move that would sound like a Saturday Night Live skit if it were not so dangerous, on March 1, Klickitat County Sheriff Bob Songer announced the hiring of his fellow Constitutionalist lawman, Loren Culp, to supervise the county jail.

Join us on Monday, March 6 at the High Prairie Fire Hall and Community Center for our Quarterly Gathering, complete with pizza and excellent conversation.

Here's a challenge for you all: write a Letter to the Editor. All you need for a topic is the behavior of the Republicans. Make the connection to what they're promoting to their highest priority--making life sweet for the uber-wealthy. Want an example?

Help us prove this proposition by joining us at our Labor Day Picnic 4:30 p.m. Monday, Sept. 5, at Rhinegarten Park in White Salmon.

With the understandable focus on issues such as affordable and available housing and childcare, climate change, and healthcare, this year’s election rhetoric does not give nearly enough attention to women’s fundamental right to an abortion….

Democrats want to help average Americans in positive ways. We support access to affordable health care, dramatic investments in clean energy to stave off disastrous climate change, protection of social security, and paid family leave, to name just a few items. We support making it easier to vote, not harder. We support women's reproductive rights.

The Democratic-led Washington State Legislature has closed shop on its 2022 "short session," but not before passing a bunch of bills that address important needs. Read more for some highlights on infrastructure, healthcare and more.

Yakima County farmer and restauranteur Doug White announced on October 9 that he is running as a Democrat for Congress in Washington State's Fourth Congressional District. For the past ten years, White's announcement would have counted as a side-note in Klickitat County politics, but with new Congressional districts on the horizon, CD 4 candidates will likely jump into the forefront of our attention.
