A recap of NPI's endorsements

If you have not yet voted today, please do so immediately - whether that means going to the polls or mailing in your ballot at the post office. If you need some aid in voting, here is a recap of our endorsements for ballot measures and elected office this year:

Federal and statewide office:
  • U.S. Senate: Maria Cantwell
  • U.S. House, 8th Congressional District: Darcy Burner
  • U.S. House, 4th Congressional District: Richard Wright
  • U.S. House, 5th Congressional District: Peter Goldmark
  • U.S. House, 1st Congressional District: Jay Inslee
  • U.S. House, 2nd Congressional District: Rick Larsen
  • U.S. House, 3rd Congressional District: Brian Baird
  • U.S. House, 6th Congressional District: Norm Dicks
  • U.S. House, 7th Congressional District: Jim McDermott
  • U.S. House, 9th Congressional District: Adam Smith
  • State Supreme Court: Susan Owens (previously endorsed in primary)
Justices Gerry Alexander and Tom Chambers were also previously endorsed in the primary, along with Judges Penoyar, Becker, and Quinn-Brintall, but they are unopposed in the general election, as their races were decided last month.

And a reminder that we have already released our positions for statewide intiatives on this November's ballot. Those positions are:
  • Initiative 920 - A resounding NO
  • Initiative 933 - A resounding NO
  • Initiative 937 - YES
See our 2006 ballot measures page for more information, including our rationale, the official description for each ballot measure, and links for additional information.

In legislative races, VOTE DEMOCRAT, especially in the 45th and the 48th, where we need to elect Rodney Tom, Deb Eddy, Eric Oemig, Roger Goodman and reelect Larry Springer and Ross Hunter.

In the N.E. Electoral Court race in King County, please vote for the only qualified candidate for judicial office - Frank V. LaSalata.

And if you're ready for better transit service, please vote YES on the King County "Transit Now" plan (Proposition 2).
