In
November 2012 there will be many changes in our state government.
We will be electing a new Governor as well as people in many other positions, both in Congress and here in our state. They want to hear from you as they form their campaign platforms. You need to hear from them so that you can be informed when you vote!
The Arc
of Washington State has added information on our web site to help you
as you decide who best represents your voice. We are distributing a questionnaire to the candidates asking for their perspective and plan of action, if elected, on issues that are important to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We will post their responses with their name and contact information on our site as we receive their replies. Be sure to check back often!
To view
information on statewide offices including Governor, Lt. Governor,
Secretary of State, State Treasurer, State Auditor, Attorney General, Commissioner of Public Lands, Superintendent of Public Instruction, Insurance Commissioner as well as open Congressional seats go to:
For
information on candidates for the Washington State Legislature (by district)

If you
have questions, please feel free to contact me.
Remember,
Change is made by those who show up!
