Hi, I'm John Duresky, and I'm running for Washington's 4th Congressional District. Let's beat Dan Newhouse, let's take back the House.
This is a call to action. Many of you feel what I’m feeling: we can’t sit on the sidelines. The race changed this week, and we have the best opportunity in a generation to flip this seat for the people of Central Washington.

“We congratulate Dan Newhouse on his retirement. We anticipate a crowded Republican Primary. We are pleased the Democratic Base has consolidated around our campaign and believe this unity will prove decisive in the November Election.”

YESTERDAY: Democrats in WA-04 were still asking,
“Who’s our candidate?”

THIS MORNING:
Central Washington Democrats have largely answered that question — and they’re lining up behind John Duresky.

YESTERDAY: Diseases like measles and whooping cough were considered eliminated in America.

THIS MORNING: They’re back, not because medicine failed, but because leadership did.

You cannot vote to give billionaires massive tax cuts
and claim to care about the deficit.

You cannot gut ACA subsidies and Medicaid
and pretend no one will lose coverage.

You cannot tell families their hospitals will be fine
when they close because funding disappears.

NEW: Democrats know they need moderates to win tough states. They also know their moderates can’t go viral to save their lives.

When D.C. gives billions to the wealthy, our communities pay for it. In higher premiums. In lost coverage. In rural hospitals at risk.

Billions out of healthcare for tax breaks for the wealthy. Results: higher premiums, fewer insured families, and collapsing rural hospitals.

Proud to share that the Klickitat County Democrats officially endorse John Duresky for Congress in WA-04.
It’s time for representation that listens, shows up, and puts our communities first.

Silence from leaders isn’t neutrality — it’s permission. Standing up should be the minimum standard in a democracy.

What do you think leadership looks like when a colleague is targeted? Comment below — your voice matters here.

I pledge that as a member of Congress, I will cosponsor and vote for U.S. Term Limits Amendment of three (3) two-year House terms and two (2) six-year Senate terms and no longer limits. This is NOT a pledge to self-limit, the law has to pass to be active.

Yesterday, Donald Trump said the affordability crisis is a ‘Democratic hoax.’
This morning, families here in Central Washington know this is no hoax

The pardon power was never meant to be a loyalty rewards program. Congress must step in — silence is complicity.

These are performative killings: acts of violence carried out not for national defense, but for political theater; meant to project toughness, loyalty, and brutality. They were executed in international waters, against unarmed people, at the direction of the President’s chosen appointee.

So, we've been posting daily, here was today's post, because I didn't like the stock photo with randomly generated AI people around the table. So, from our home, Happy Thanksgiving. BUT... is it just me, or is AI complete garbage. See comments:

Ag-tech is growing fast in Yakima, and our students are stepping right into it.
I want to make sure they have every opportunity to build their future right here at home.
For too long, our leaders in D.C. have ignored rural America, invested in Wall Street instead of Main Street.

Donald Trump recently called some congressmen traitors. One of his followers said they should be hanged. Trump then amplified that comment and repeated the phrase “Seditious behavior, death sentence.” The result is his fault: threats, harassment, families in fear. Its unAmerican.

Everyone keeps talking about “affordability.” But what does that actually mean?
To me, it’s when everyday things suddenly cost more than everyday people can reasonably pay.

Share your story here, today!

Affordable health care is still tied to the tracks.
Congress punted on extending the ACA premium tax credits, leaving thousands of our neighbors exposed.
I’ve talked to 2 different families that are expecting annual premiums of $15,000. Normal people can’t afford that!

I'm calling for an immediate end to these extrajudicial killings.

This is a failure of our constitutional checks and balances on war powers. Hold public hearings, publish the administration’s legal basis, and take a recorded vote under the War Powers Resolution. No secret wars.

New Epstein reports keep surfacing.
Central Washington deserves clarity. Where’s Newhouse?
He told a local audience he supports releasing the files — but he wouldn’t sign the discharge petition to force a vote. You can’t say “release them” and then duck the one tool that makes it happen.
