2007 PRIMARY ELECTION ENDORSEMENTS - KING COUNTY BALLOT MEASURES
Every year, the Northwest Progressive Institute teams with its Permanent Defense division to produce an endorsements guide for members and supporters.
Among Democratic and nonpartisan candidates, we endorse candidates that we believe best reflect our progressive values. If we endorse Republicans, we look for candidates that are closest to our beliefs, giving the nod to biconceptuals and rejecting extremists, while recognizing that such candidates may not share many of our values, vision, or ideals.
We ask three general questions when evaluating every candidate for endorsement:
- What are the candidate’s qualifications and why is he or she the best candidate?
- What is the candidate’s vision for the office they are seeking?
- What other endorsements or support does the candidate have?
With that introduction, here's our 2007 primary election endorsements guide for King County ballot measures.
