30th LD 2010 GENERAL ELECTION ENDORSEMENTS
From the looks of the Ballot Measure results (the asterisk defines where we called it right), we have a lot of educational work to accomplish throughout the State of Washington. It would appear from the election results that the message to “tax the rich, not the workers, middle class, and local (small) businesses” was not adequately promoted.
In the candidate races, we were seven–for–eight in supporting winning candidates (88%). This does not include the ninth race for SE District Court Judge Position 2, in which we endorsed both candidates.
