Vote Pro-Choice
PRO-CHOICE VOTER GUIDE  The below guide lists endorsed and 100% pro-choice candidates reviewed by NARAL Pro-Choice Washington for the Primary. Candidates whose names appear in bold are strongly endorsed by NARAL Pro-Choice Washington and are 100% pro-choice (if there are two bold names for the same seat, we made a dual-endorsement). Names that are in italics are 100% pro-choice candidates. If candidates in your district are not listed here, it is either because they didn’t return our questionnaire or because we were unable to identify a pro-choice candidate. ** = finished in the top-two in the Primary Election

For Candidates:
For over 30 years, a woman’s right to choose has been a defining issue in election campaigns in Washington State. The majority of voters in this state are pro-choice. In 1970 Washington was the first state to legalize a woman’s right to choose by a vote of the people. In 1991, Washington voters approved Initiative 120, codifying the Roe v. Wade decision. More recently, in 1998, the voters of this state defeated Initiative 694, the so-called “partial birth abortion” ban. Thus it is clear that winning the pro-choice vote in Washington State is essential for many candidates. NARAL Pro-Choice Washington endorses Democratic and Republican pro-choice candidates in state and local races where a woman’s right to choose is at stake. An endorsement from NARAL Pro-Choice Washington is an effective way to show the voters of Washington that choice is an issue in your campaign and that there is a real difference between candidates on this issue. NARAL Pro-Choice Washington PAC can also provide financial assistance, pro-choice lists, mailings, targeted phone calls and assistance with message development. |
