EARLY ENDORSEMENTS June 3, 2014

The political action committee for Washington state’s largest group of employers and leading generator of jobs today announced its endorsement of 48 legislators seeking re-election to the state Senate and House of Representatives and to one representative running for a senate seat.

The Washington SAFE Trust (Save America’s Free Enterprise) of the National Federation of Independent Business, which has 8,250 small business members in the state, based its endorsement on a legislator’s having an 80 percent or better pro-small-business voting record for their most recent term in office.
