Jason Call (born July 16, 1971) is an American progressive activist and a Green Party candidate for Washington's 2nd congressional district in the 2024 United States House of Representatives election.[1][2]
Early life, education and career[edit]
Call was born in San Bernardino, California. He earned a bachelor's degree in political science from the University of Washington in 1994, a bachelor's degree in education from the College of Santa Fe in 1999, and a Master of Education degree from the University of Washington Bothell in 2004.[1] He formerly worked as a public school math teacher and served on the Marysville Education Association Board.[3]
In 2016, Call was elected as a representative of Snohomish County and Washington's 44th legislative district to the Washington State Democratic Central Committee and served in that role until 2020.[3] He aligned himself with the progressive faction of the Democratic Party, passing resolutions and platform amendments including calls for single-payer healthcare and progressive tax reform.[4] Call was the deputy manager of Marianne Williamson's 2024 presidential campaign until May 2023.[5]
Call resigned from his position as a Democratic Party Precinct Committee Officer to become a member of the Green Party in March 2023.[6] He currently serves on the board of Whole Washington, a nonprofit advocacy group seeking to pass universal single-payer healthcare in Washington state.[3]
Political candidacy[edit]
Call previously ran as a Democrat against incumbent Rick Larsen in the U.S. House of Representatives elections in 2020 and 2022 but was eliminated in the primaries, coming in third place by a margin of 2,567 votes in 2020 and 5,402 votes in 2022.[7][8] He announced his candidacy for the election in 2024 as a Green Party member on April 10, 2023, in collaboration with the Green Party of Washington State.[9][10] Call has been endorsed by the Blue America PAC.[11]
Political positions[edit]
In 2020 and 2022, Call ran on the issues of universal healthcare, green energy, and campaign finance reform. He advocates for raising taxes on the wealthy to reduce income inequality, homelessness, and student debt.[12][13] Call formally adopted the Green Party's Ten Key Values as a part of his campaign platform in 2023.[2][9]
