2023 Endorsements

*Over nearly three decades, Washington Conservation Action has worked to ensure our endorsement is a clear sign to voters that any candidate who has earned this designation will fight to ensure all people in Washington state have a healthy place to live, a strong economy, and a protected environment. We have a rigorous vetting process and don’t decide to endorse lightly, but in a handful of races there are two candidates who we feel have earned our support. In these races, both have shown they will work to live up to the values of Washington Conservation Action, our members, and our values. Voters would be served well by both of these candidates in these races.

Note: Endorsements will be released on a rolling basis throughout the election season.

2024 Endorsements

Washington Conservation Action will release endorsements for the 2024 elections soon. Stay tuned.

For Those Seeking Endorsement

To ensure your questionnaire is considered for endorsement, you must fill out the questionnaire. Emailed questionnaires will not be considered. Although we cannot guarantee we will conduct an endorsement in every race across the state, we appreciate you taking the time out of your campaign schedule to fill out Washington Conservation Action’s questionnaire. Please reach out to Political & Civic Engagement Director Joy Stanford (joy@waconservationaction.org) if you have any issues filling out the form.

Endorsement Process

Washington Conservation Action issues endorsements to inform voters of which candidates running for office make environmental justice and creating a clean economy top priorities. All candidates to be considered for endorsement by Washington Conservation Voters must complete our questionnaire. The Washington Conservation Voters Political Committee reviews completed questionnaires and may choose to interview candidates. The Political Committee votes to endorse candidates for all positions that are not statewide. For statewide races, the Political Committee makes a recommendation to the full WCV Board which votes to confirm or deny the recommendation.

Washington Conservation Action is committed to equal opportunity, and committed to maintaining an accessible and equitable endorsement process. Accommodations for the endorsement process are available and will be made upon request. Please complete this form regarding accommodations or accommodations requests. We welcome feedback on the accessibility of our website and endorsements process.
