I recently signed the Take BAC Congress pledge, joining 63 candidates, and counting, across the country who are committed to restoring Balance, Accountability, and Constitutional governance in our nation’s capital.
The people of WA-04 here in Central Washington deserve a Congress that works, not one that avoids responsibility, hands off its authority, or operates without meaningful oversight. The incentives for Congress need to change. For too long, D.C. has drifted away from its constitutional role. I believe it is time to correct that course.
By signing this pledge, I’m committed to fighting for and passing the following into law:
- Congressional Term Limits
- Overturn Citizens United
- Moratorium on lobbying
- No Stock Trading
- Code of Judicial Ethics for US Supreme Court
Families, small businesses, farmers, and workers throughout Central Washington and WA-04 feel the consequences when Congress fails to do its job. When power becomes concentrated and oversight weakens, everyday Americans pay the price.
I believe that restoring institutional integrity is not about partisan politics. It is about restoring trust in our institutions and ensuring that the government works responsibly and transparently for the people it serves.
If elected, I will work to restore the balance of power the Constitution demands and deliver the accountability the people of WA-04 expect, and he will have 62 allies, and counting, on day one!

Signed,
John Duresky, Democrat, candidate for Washington’s 4th Congressional District
Editor’s note: John Duresky is a Democrat candidate for the 4th Congressional District, which is an open seat following Rep. Dan Newhouse’s announcement that he will not seek reelction.




Don’t we all want to be able to be secure in the things we need throughout life? What are those? A place to live, nourishment, medical care, education, safety. Seems to me that those are the basics. We are a competitive society, which means there are winners and losers. But we are not wild animals. Don’t we owe the losers something for the fact that we have all agreed to live in this competitive society? Who can best assure that winners can still win but losers are not forgotten? Vote for that person.
