WPEA Endorsements As our state faces the unprecedented combination of a public health crisis and a budget shortfall, Washingtonians will depend on the vital services our members provide. We need to elect legislators who will fight to protect public services, invest in our communities, and rebuild an economy that works for everyone. WPEA has endorsed a slate of candidates who will stand up for public employees and the vital services we provide every day. Many are active public employee union members themselves. We need to get them to the legislature so they can fight for us.
