The 46th District Democrats are conducting General Election Endorsements at their meeting Thursday, August 16. The meeting is at Aljoya Thorton Place, 450 NE 100th St, Seattle, 7pm meet and greet, 7:30pm meeting.
Any candidate who received our endorsement in the Primary and made it through to the General election retains our endorsement for the General election. Therefore, only two candidate races will be considered for endorsement Thursday - WA Supreme Court Position 9 and (maybe) State Auditor.
Ten ballot measures will be reviewed at the meeting.
