We're a workers' organization. So the way we see it, when candidates run for office, they're basically applying for a job working for us — the people they want to represent.
That's why we invited candidates for local office in Seattle, Tukwila, and Yakima to participate in our political engagement process by completing a ten-question job application. The questions were solicited from Working Washington members, and include at least a few that everyone probably recognizes from job interviews over the course of their working lives.
Check out the candidates' job applications, and then let us know what you think!
