Endorsed and Approved Candidates
Endorsements are only for one candidate in a race, and can only occur after the close of filing week. An approval means that there is more than one candidate that the LD supports in that race. Below are the endorsed and approved candidates as voted on by the general LD membership. Candidates are listed in alphabetical order of position then last name to avoid perceived favoritism.
23rd Legislative District (LD) Candidate Endorsements/ Approvals as of July 24th, 2024
*Note to potential candidates- the 23rd LD Democrats and Kitsap County Democrats are two separate organizations. Each has their own documents, please ensure you are sending them to the correct organization for action*
