Knock doors for nurse Ben on Aug 2

If elected, Ben Christly would be the only nurse serving in the Legislature, bringing firsthand clinical experience and the voice of nursing to the decisions that impact our patients, our profession, and our community.
Deadline: Aug. 2, 2026
RSVP by email

Your neighbor and colleague, Ben Christly, is a WSNA PAC-endorsed nurse running for the State House of Representatives in the 17th legislative district (LD). He needs our help talking to voters about why it's so important to have a nurse in the Washington State Legislature. A nurse in the Legislature means that we have someone speaking on behalf of nurses behind closed doors where critical decisions are being made about healthcare, labor, and more.

Ben is a father, Navy veteran, flight nurse, small business owner, and community advocate running to represent the 17th LD and Southwest Washington in Olympia. 

Bring your kids, your friends, or fellow nurses. It's time we put a nurse in the Legislature!
