Together, through his PAC Let’s Go Washington, Heywood is using the MAGA playbook to distract voters from the real problems caused by MAGA politicians and CEOs, like exorbitant groceries, escalating rents, and disappearing health care.

This year Heywood skipped the Seattle Times editorial board interviews (after appearing at nearly all of them in 2024), instead sending conservative Washington Policy Center’s Vicki Murray (I-001) and Ryan Frost (I-645), and Spokane Republican donor Dori Whitford (I-638).

In just one week, Heywood struck out on getting the state’s largest editorial board’s support for any of his three initiatives.
