Biography
Chiafalo supported the 2016 presidential campaign of Bernie Sanders. He publicly stated he might not vote as pledged for Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine.
When the Electoral College voted on December 19, 2016, Chiafalo became one of four electors from Washington (along with Levi Guerra, Esther John, and Robert Satiacum Jr.), not to vote for Clinton. Instead, he voted for former U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell.
