Labor Wins on Election Night

Tuesday’s election results were good news for public employees, WPEA members, and working people in Washington State.

• Manka Dhingra was elected to the Senate in the crucial 45th district race. Manka was endorsed by WPEA. Her election will flip control of the Senate and help break partisan gridlock in Olympia.
• Kitsap County has passed its library levy, which will help fund a pay increase for our WPEA librarians at the Kitsap Regional Library.
• Teresa Mosqueda, Political and Strategic Campaign Director for the Washington State Labor Council, has been elected to the Seattle City Council.
  

Additionally, union members and labor advocates were elected to city councils across the state, including in  Auburn, East Wenatchee, Montesano, Olympia, Sedro-Woolley, Spokane, and Tacoma,
