2024 Elections
2024 May Recommendation Conventions
The Washington Education Association Political Action Committee (WEA-PAC) invited 2024 candidates for statewide offices to participate in our recommendation process, which consists of submitting a completed candidate questionnaire and attending our candidate recommendation convention on May 11, 2024 in Federal Way. Additionally, we're interviewing candidates on May 10 who are seeking recommendation in races viewed by WEA-PAC staff as less competitive.
Candidates who demonstrate viability by raising $80,000 or more by May 1, 2024 are invited to participate.
