E-mail Print PDF

Please join us on Thursday, July 9th for our General Membership Endorsement Meeting.  Please note the new location (we'll be returning to the Phinney Neighborhood Association for our August meeting).

Our Redeemer's Lutheran Church (new location!)
2400 NW 85th St
Seattle, WA 98117-3732

7:30 pm - 9:30 pm

The General Membership will consider the endorsement recommendations of the Executive Board.  Each recommendation forwarded to the General membership for consideration requires a simple majority to pass.  If the General membership rejects the recommendation, it may bring forward its own motion, but it requires a 2/3 vote to pass.

In order to be eligible to vote for this meeting, you must be:

a.) a dues paying member who has paid their dues prior to June 16th and within the last year.

b.) a PCO in good standing with the district

c.) a spouse/partner/significant other from a Member who paid the Household membership within the last year.

If you missed the deadline to vote on our Primary endorsements, don't miss the opportunity to vote on our General election endorsements.  Please renew your membership here.  If you wish to vote in our endorsement meeting in September, our July and August meetings will be your last in person opportunity to pay your membership dues to qualify for voting on our General Election endorsements.  Renew today!

We did not consider November ballot races for School Board, County Assessor or the uncontested races for Seattle Port Commission (Pos 1) or County Sheriff.  Motions to consider those races are in order, but those motions will need to be seconded and will require a 2/3 affirmative vote from the membership to pass.

Videos of Our Endorsement Interviews

E-mail Print PDF
Nearly all of our 33 candidate endorsement interviews were taped (We were late 15 minutes on Bagshaw and Conlin was missed altogether).  However, we do have supplemental notes, provided by Membership Chair Karen Siscel-Smith for those interviews we missed or if your speakers on your laptop or desktop don't project a loud enough volume. 

All 32 candidate interview videos are now loaded.  To view those videos, please click here.

If you care to read the supplemental notes provided by Karen Siscel-Smith, please click here.

Update:  Rep. Carlyle had a great idea...start posting the literature and handouts of the candidates next to their interviews and information.  We just started soliciting so we'll upload as we get it in.
