Welcome potential candidate!
The 44th Legislative District is open to considering any democratic or non-partisan candidate running for office within the legislative district boundaries.
Candidate endorsement submission process is Open!
Welcome and thank you for requesting an endorsement from the 44th Legislative District Democrats. We appreciate your interest and your participation. When a candidate asks for our endorsement, we ask the candidate to fill out our questionnaire.
The endorsement committee’s desire is to collect information that is important to our constituents in Snohomish County and for partisan offices, to get a feel for your Democratic values. This questionnaire will help us evaluate those candidates that are seeking our endorsement. We will evaluate candidates based on several means of information beyond this questionnaire. At the discretion of the chair of the endorsement committee, you may be invited to an interview with the full committee.
The endorsement committee will evaluate your endorsement request and make a recommendation to our membership. You may be invited to the membership meeting to make a brief statement and possibly answer a few questions. Please consider time constraints when planning to return your questionnaire. We highly encourage you to submit your endorsement request as soon as possible.
If you have any questions or need a PDF version of the questionnaire, please email endorsements@44thdems.com.
Candidate Endorsement Process
*Candidates may choose to skip the endorsements process and go directly to the 44th LD Democrats membership and motion for a vote, but they must acquire 100% membership support from the body for the motion to endorse passes vs. a simple majority if recommended by the committee.
