How do candidates qualify for the 46th District Democrats endorsement?
According to our Standing Endorsement Rules, to be eligible for endorsement, a candidate for partisan office must file as a Democrat. Candidates must also sign and submit the appropriate King County Democrats candidates questionnaire and any supplemental questionnaire no later than five days before the endorsement meeting at which the candidate would be considered or by 9 AM of the day after the last day of candidate filing, whichever is later. Copies of submitted questionnaires can be found here. A majority of the Executive Board may waive this requirement for incumbents in partisan offices running for re-election who have previously submitted questionnaires.
