The WR Government Affairs team attended the AWB Policy Summit in Spokane where a number of candidates participated in statewide office debates. The four, hour-long debates featured candidates for Governor, Attorney General, Public Lands Commissioner, and Superintendent of Public Instruction.
The debates were broadcast on local television and statewide on TVW.
The candidates are as follows:
- Governor: Dave Reichert (R) vs. Bob Ferguson (D)
- Attorney General: Pete Serrano (R) vs. Nick Brown (D)
- Public Lands Commissioner: Jaime Herrera Beutler (R) vs. Dave Upthegrove (D)
- Superintendent of Public Instruction: David Olson (R) vs. Chris Reykdal (D)
WR values the candidates’ focus on the retail industry and is eager to collaborate with the elected leaders. We urge voters to research the candidates and submit their ballots, which will arrive in late October. Ballots must be returned by November 5, with results starting at 8:00 PM on election night.
