We had EIGHT folks out on doors today supporting myself, @zevfortacoma.bsky.social and Bronwyn Clarke, all progressive, people powered candidates endorsed by Tacoma DSA and all fighting for working folks. Thanks, y'all!

The crowd chanting at the beginning of yesterday's powerful rally for trans youth gender affirming care, by Tacoma DSA and several partners. I was impressed by the energy, the speeches, and the demands. Mary Bridge and Multicare, do the right thing! Attorney General Nick Brown, make 'em do it!

Today's campaign update. Beautiful late summer weather combined with 12 foot Skellies for the win!

Just some pics from a few great canvassing shifts, friend's fundraisers, and awesome trans youth healthcare rallies over the last few days. We're only a couple weeks into canvassing and approaching 1000 doors hit.

It's been a great week for the campaign! Last night, Tacoma DSA members voted unanimously to give $750 to my race and eight members signed up to volunteer. And these four wonderful folks joined me for door knocking in Hilltop this evening. You should get involved, too!

It's my first #devinforthepeople canvassing video, y'all! Today I'm supporting Latasha Palmer for Tacoma City Council... and, of course, you should support ME for Pierce County Charter Review Commission!

I'm overjoyed to once again earn the endorsement of my former union, UAW Local 4121. I was a rank-and-file member from 2005-2009, and have since collaborated frequently with the local via my former work with SEIU 925. They know I'll fight for a count charter that works for all.

June has been great for support, but slow on donations. I'm at 1/2 what I raised in April and 1/3 of May. Who can help fix that?

If that's you, then please give TODAY at secure.actblue.com/donate/devin...

I just gave to Devin Rydel Kelly!

2/2) My walk cards are showing up this week, too! That means I'm gonna hit doors soon. I'll be volunteering for all sorts of other progressive candidates in the lead up to the primary, then having regular shifts for my own campaign through the general election. Volunteer, endorse, or donate today!

Devin For The People @devinforthepeople.bsky.social · Jun 17

1/2) I'm very excited to announce two more major organizational endorsements in my Charter Review Commission race, from Indivisible Tacoma and FairVote Washington. They support my campaign's fighting spirit, centering the issues, and commitment to democracy at all levels of government.

I'm researching for some of the most important policy decisions we'll face on the Charter Review Commission, starting with this exciting and timely book that my prior campaign manager Marco recommended. I've also suggested it to other candidates, too. Maybe we'll get a little reading group going?

Devin For The People @devinforthepeople.bsky.social · May 30

Y'all! I'm up to 46 unique contributors and $2,892 raised for May. Who wants to help push it to 50 and $3k by tomorrow?

I'm such a @thedigradio.bsky.social stan that I included their recent arc about the US Constitution in my weekly charter commission campaign newsletter, noting local governing documents are often more progressive and a locus of struggle. Each week, I'll have a political education component. Sign up!

Internal Project 2025 documents obtained by Arizona investigative journalists demonstrate why it's so crucial to create structures holding law enforcement accountable to local, democratically decided, rights-based law, rather than hateful Presidential decrees.

The Big Takeover: The secret plans to give Trump command of America’s police

For months, a Project 2025 subgroup drafted plans to place domestic law enforcement under Trump's thumb. We have their files.

Y'all! Simply announcing I'm in a competitive race (apparently with a commercial realtor) already helped me raise $650 today. Who wants to help make it $1,000? You can do so at www.devinforthepeople.org
