As the vice president of government affairs for the Association of Washington Business, it is my pleasure to share the candidates that have received AWB’s endorsement in the 2024 election campaign. This is the first round of endorsements and we will have additional rounds.
Our state’s economy is facing many challenges, and it is critically we elect candidates who have demonstrated an understanding of the challenges facing employers today, and have a desire to be champions for the economy.
