"We, at Allie’s, fully support universal healthcare and Whole Washington’s efforts to bring it to our state. We are committed to the wellbeing of our community as a whole and appreciate opportunities to give back how we can."Allie's Vegan Pizzeria & Cafe https://order.toasttab.com/online/allies-vegan-pizzeria September 3, 2025
"Whole Health WA was the only one besides me openly advocating for the inclusion of health, dental, and vision care in one plan. It is ridiculous that we pay so much for healthcare, yet they segregate dental and vision into separate plans, with minimal benefits, and the excessive costs don’t even count towards our deductibles!"Andrew Bartleson Candidate for United States House of Representatives Washington State Congressional District-05 July 20, 2026
"I support Whole Washington because we need legislators who will be bold about making healthcare accessibility and affordability a true priority. If elected, I will champion policies that put people and their right to healthcare first, because healthcare is a human right."Luc Jasmin III Candidate for Washington State House of Representatives WA State Representative, Legislative District 3, Position 2 July 6, 2026
"As an emergency physician, I have seen suffering when patients put off medical care because they lack insurance. This is unacceptable and Washington can (and MUST) ensure that all Washington residents have healthcare insurance. While Washington can and will help to save lives by increasing access to care."Dr. Pam Kohlmeier Candidate for Washington State House of Representatives 3rd Legislative District, Position 2 June 23, 2026
"I support Whole Washington because I am not willing to trade good and affordable care for everyone in exchange for bonuses for greedy CEOs and rich shareholders. Universal healthcare in Germany enabled my parents to take me to the doctor whenever necessary after I became very ill as a young child, and that was very often!"Michaela Kelso Candidate for Washington State House of Representatives Candidate for State Representative, LD 6, Position 1 July 6, 2026
