The AFT Washington COPE committee made endorsements in many of the races in Washington this season. If you aren't sure of your legislative district, you can find it at the Washington State Legislature District Finder. Many of the endorsements we made are familiar faces that members know and have spoken with before. This year, we saw a very high number of legislative appointees, who need to run in the next election to defend their appointments, so there may be some new faces here. We believe these candidates have strong, clear visions in line with our values, and would serve well in their districts.
Candidates in italics are dual-endorsed.
Candidates with an * are new this year.
