ELECTION ENDORSEMENTS
Making a Difference Together
NO WORKFORCE IN THE STATE OF WASHINGTON HAS MORE AT STAKE IN DECISIONS MADE BY THE LEGISLATURE THAN STATE EMPLOYEES.
WFSE Local 443 wants to spread our message of justice and worker empowerment. We believe that a single action through elected representatives can make a significant difference in the community, and that collective action can greatly impact the world. We endorse the following candidates that work to improve the lives of workers, their families, and society as a whole.
