FairPAC forms to counter BIAW group

The P-I's Neil Modie has an article this morning about a welcome political development:

Reacting to the creation of a political action committee to elect conservative-leaning candidates to the state Supreme Court and other judicial posts, a coalition of mostly progressive organizations is forming a political committee of its own.

[...]

FairPAC's initial supporters also include such generally left-of-center organizations as Naral Pro-Choice Washington, Washington Conservation Voters, Washington State Labor Council, Service Employees International Union, the Washington State Trial Lawyers Association and Equal Rights Washington.

There had been some concerns that major Washington State progressive groups might not be able to get their act together, but with the formation of FairPAC, those worries are eased greatly.

The BIAW and its allies will not go unchallenged this November when they attempt to install their own extremist candidates on the court. We look forward to seeing FairPAC get off the ground and ultimately defeat this right wing assault on our independent judiciary.
