2024 Primary Election Endorsements

Ballots for the 2024 primary election should have arrived in the mail.  We've been hard at work finding candidates that support the hardworking women and men of Pierce County. 

The Committee on Political Education (COPE) of the Pierce County Central Labor Council spent more than 40 hours this spring reading questionaries and interviewing candidates running for elected office in Pierce County.  

The following COPE recommendations for endorsement were approved by the delegate body.  These candidates, through their written questionnaires and interviews, have earned the support of the PCCLC, AFL-CIO.    

Congressional, statewide and legislative endorsements can be found here: 2024 WSLC Primary endorsements
