A Note About Endorsements: Your vote is your voice and yours alone. No one can take that away from you. We hope you will consider our endorsement recommendations as a point of information, just as you'd consider endorsements from other organizations to which you might belong. Our endorsements are guided by our mission statement, "to build unity and power for all working people," and our member-driven Political Advisory Committee makes recommendations based on that mission. We do not select endorsements based on political party. We endorse only those candidates who have committed to supporting workers in WA State. We do not use dues dollars when we contribute to candidates. We only use money members voluntarily contribute to our PAC. If you are interested in contributing to DRIVE, please talk to your Union Rep or call 1-888-872-3489.
