What is their criteria for endorsement?
Sandy: according to the Washington Conservation Action website:
Washington Conservation Action works to elect environmental champions across the state. For every election, we endorse candidates who we expect to be environmental champions as well as ballot measures that will protect people and nature as one.
Yes. I looked at the site and sent the same question to the organization. I am curious about how the process of endorsements from organizations work in general. I was not familiar with this organization, and clicked on the link. The site had an application for endorsements but no explanation of the selection process. Is that typical? No worries- I’m not planning on running for office…just wanting to be a well informed voter.
