OUR ENDORSEMENT PROCESS

Our Political Advisory Committee interviews and recommends candidates for endorsement based on their support for workers in Washington State. We do not endorse candidates based on political party or use member dues dollars for contributions to candidates. Instead, candidate contributions come from money members voluntarily contribute to DRIVE, our Political Action Committee (PAC). If you are interested in contributing to DRIVE, please contact your Union Rep or Political & Legislative Organizer Guillermo Mogollan at [email protected].
