VOTER INFORMATION!
To assist voters, The Arc of Washington State has emailed a questionnaire to all candidates running (that provided an email address) for the Secretary of State, State Legislature and Congressional offices. The responses we receive will be posted on this web page as we receive them.
If a candidate has responded to the questionnaire in writing, their name will be highlighted in red. Click on their name below and their response will open as a pdf file.
If a candidate has responded to the questionnaire in VIDEO form, you will see “⇒♥⇐” next to their name. Click on that and their response will open as a video.
Please Note: Washington State’s Top Two primary election was held on August 2, 2022. This page has been updated to reflect the winners of the primary. Some races are still too close to call (text is in pink). Once final results are posted, those races will be updated.
