We are excited to announce our endorsements for Washington’s primary election. When healthcare workers become healthcare voters, we can elect healthcare champions. Essential workers like us don’t have the same resources as wealthy corporations, but when we join together to support candidates who value working people, we are a force. Our vote is our voice. Vote by Aug. 3!
