2018 Primary Endorsements

Public employees are under attack. Between politicians who want to cut our wages and retirement, or anti-union organizations filing requests for our private personal information, we're working hard to fight back.
The good news is, there are candidates who will support public employees in our fight for better wages, better working conditions, and better lives for our families. These candidates will stand with us, and have earned our vote. 
Here are the legislative candidates who have earned WPEA's endorsement:

• Tanisha Harris, House of Representatives, 17th Legislative District (Greater Vancouver)
• Kathy Gillespie, House of Representatives, 18th Legislative District (Clark County)
• Erin Frasier, House of Representatives, 19th Legislative District (Pacific and Wahkiakum County; parts of Clark, Cowlitz, & Lewis Counties)
• Mari Leavitt, House of Representatives, 28th Legislative District (Lakewood, University Place)
• Patty Kuderer, Senate, 48th Legislative District (Bellevue, Redmond, Medina)
• Monica Stonier, House of Representatives, 49th Legislative District (Vancouver)
