* The Executive Board did not make a recommendation in these races because no candidates participated in an interview.
** The Executive Board is affirmatively recommending that the 36th take a “No Endorsement” position at the May meeting for King County Prosecutor. If the No Endorsement motion passes, the 36th will consider endorsements in the General Election from scratch. This will give us more time to learn about the two candidates, one of whom announced his candidacy during filing week.
