WSCFF PRIMARY ENDORSEMENTS D = Democrat R = Republican I = Incumbent Brothers and Sisters, These are trying times for our nation, our state and for our communities. Now more than ever, it is important for us to be engaged in the political process and to support candidates who have demonstrated a commitment to our issues, or candidates who we believe, after conducting candidate interviews, reviewing completed questionnaires and conducting extensive due diligence, will be people we can work with to advance issues of importance to our members and their families, or to fight against measures that will bring us harm. The delegates to the 2012 Washington State Council of Fire Fighters’ convention, by resolution, have endorsed the following candidates for federal and statewide office: WSCFF PRIMARY ENDORSEMENTS D = Democrat R = Republican I = Incumbent U.S. SENATE Maria Cantwell D, I WASHINGTON STATEWIDE OFFICES SUPREME COURT U.S. CONGRESS Position Congressional 2 - Susan Owens I District 8 - Steve Gonzales I 1 Steve Hobbs D 9 - dual endorsement: 2 Rick Larsen D, I Bruce Hilyar 3 No Endorsement John Ladenberg 4 No Endorsement 5 Rich Cowan D GOVERNOR 6 Derek Kilmer D Jay Inslee D 7 Jim McDermott D, I 8 Dave Reichert R, I LT.

  • THE FOLEY INSTITUTE REPORT the Thomas S
    Fall 2010 THE FOLEY INSTITUTE REPORT The Thomas S. Foley Institute for Public Policy and Public Service Washington’s Politicians on State Issues In a tough budget year, state politics took center stage as politi- cians in Olympia attempted to balance needs, taxation, poten- tial healthcare demands, and a massive state budget deficit. Washington State Attorney General Rob McKenna visited the campus to discuss the landmark health care legislation passed by Congress and why 13 state attorneys general, including him- self, decided to bring suit against the federal government. Over 160 people attended the event, just two days after the landmark health care bill was passed in Washington, D.C. Washington State Senate Majority Leader Lisa Brown visited Pullman in April 2010 follow- ing the conclusion of a special session in the Washington State Legislature where tough decisions were made about the state budget. Senator Brown participated in a round table discussion with students about budgetary challenges facing the state and the impact on universities, litigation over health care reform as the state moves to implement the federal health care bill, and other pressing issues confronting the state legislature. Lisa Brown Rob McKenna LeLoup Congressional Scholarship Thanks to the generous support of many who knew Lance LeLoup, previous director of the Foley Institute and WSU Regents Professor of Political Science, the institute was able to offer the first LeLoup Congressional Intern Scholarship this year to Danielle Morrison. Danielle is a junior political science major who interned in U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell’s Washington, D.C., office (you can read about her internship on page 9).

  • 2011-2012 Legislative Scorecard
    2011-2012 LEGISLATIVE SCORECARD 2011-2012 Legislative Scorecard | 1 DEAR SCORECARD READER Welcome to the 2011-2012 Washington Conservation Voters Scorecard, your trusted guide to environmental politics in Washington. The Scorecard tells the story of the Legislature’s record over the past two years, holding individual members accountable for their environmental votes. Unfortunately we can’t record the votes that didn’t happen. The past two years have largely been defensive, and we have had to work tirelessly to prevent rollbacks on our most basic environmental protections. WCV helped stop over 75 bad bills from receiving floor votes in 2012. The credit, however, goes to you: citizen activists who have demonstrated their strength in amaz- ing ways over the past two years, providing effective grassroots pressure at critical moments. We recognize that state budget shortfalls have placed pressure on environ- mental and natural resource programs, but the lack of progress on issues like Puget Sound restoration and climate change can also be attributed to a troubling lack of bipartisan strength on our issues. If we are ever to succeed on tackling some of our State’s hardest-to-solve problems, it will be because of a commitment to problem-solving on both sides of the political aisle. WCV is committed to ensuring that our shared environmental values are turned into legislative priorities. As a bipartisan organization, we will continue to build strong environmental leaders in both parties, working together to cre- ate a strong economy and healthy environment for our state. Together with Washington Environmental Council, our legislative partner, we will continue to collaborate with the 25 organizations in the Environmental Priorities Coalition to deliver achievements on the issues you care about.
