AWB Announces "Automatic" Incumbent Legislator Endorsements for November Election |

In 2003, the Association of Washington Business (AWB) Board decided to endorse candidates for the Legislature starting this year. In addition, the Board determined that incumbents with 80 percent or higher on AWB’s combined voting records for the 2003-2005 biennium will be automatically endorsed.
While the following legislators are automatically endorsed for re-election, the Association is conducting a round of candidate interviews and questionnaires to determine which other incumbents and challengers will receive AWB's support. At Washington Business Magazine press time, those interviews were not completed.
The interviews are being conducted by AWB members throughout the state and their recommendations will be presented to the Board for its approval at the Policy Summit on Sept. 24. Shortly after the summit, AWB will send its members a complete list of legislative candidates which it endorses.
“These endorsements send a clear message to our members and our state’s job providers which legislators are working to keep Washington competitive and create jobs,” said Kristen Sawin, governmental affairs and political director with AWB.
