14 years is a long time to coast without an actual debate. We know a Republican can't win this district, and the establishment will never unseat its own incumbent. It’s time to break the cycle. An August 4th primary vote for James Etzkorn strips away the automatic free pass and forces a real debate on the future of Washington's 1st District.

Krist Novoselić has been fighting the two-party system for decades. Now, we’ve joined forces to take on the establishment in Washington's 1st District. Independents are the majority, yet we lack real representation in Congress. This election cycle, we have a legitimate shot to break the mold and advance out of this primary, but only if we show up. I will fight for evidence-based solutions for working people, not special interests. It's time to fire the politician and hire the engineer. 🗳️ Vo

Even if you're unsure about voting Independent, this is your chance to make DelBene outline a real vision for the future instead of relying on the same old partisan attacks. 👇 Click 'Visit Page' below, then tap the Follow button to join th

Independent James Etzkorn is the only candidate who can beat Democrat Suzan DelBene in November's election for U.S. House, WA's 1st Congressional District. Voting for the only Republican, who is not even endorsed by the party, just guarantees DelBene another default win. 14 years of the establishment is enough. Join the independent-minded coalition to unseat her. We can win in November, but we need you to show up in the primary. Ballots due this Tuesday, Aug 4th. Spread the word!

Each name opens the page’s Vipima page, with its own figures and its link to Meta’s Ad Library.
Figures cover domestic political ads paid in dollars, from 4 May 2026. Spend is the sum of Meta’s range midpoints; impressions above one million are reported as “1M+”, so impression figures are floors. Each ad counts in the week its delivery started, with its lifetime spend at our last pull; ads still running before the vote are counted as of 31 October 2026.
