Fill out, return your general election ballot

Check out the local labor endorsements for the 2021 general election

(Oct. 19, 2021) — General election ballots for the 2021 election have been mailed out and union voters are being urged to fill them out and return them right away. Voter turnout in odd-numbered year elections is often light so union voters can make a big impact on these critical local elections.

The 2021 election is mostly for county and city offices. Several of Washington state’s regional Central Labor Councils have made recommendations for union members’ consideration. These CLCs have reviewed questionnaires, interviewed candidates, studied voting records, and voted upon which candidates — and ballot measures — have earned labor’s endorsement.

AFL-CIO Central Labor Council endorsements:

MLK Labor (King County)
Pierce County Central Labor Council
Snohomish & Island County Labor Council
Southwest Washington Central Labor Council
Spokane Regional Labor Council
Thurston-Lewis-Mason Counties Labor Council

If your CLC isn’t listed here, contact your local Central Labor Council to see if they have any 2021 primary election recommendations.
