Washington State Nurses Association Political
Action Committee (WSNA-PAC) has completed its 2008 Health I.Q. Candidate
Evaluation Process. This is a critical election year including all 98 of our
state representatives up for election as well as 24 out of the 48 state senate
members.
WSNA-PAC is committed to its mission as a
non-partisan organization representing the interests of nurses concerned with
promoting quality patient care through the political process. The candidates
listed have received endorsement from WSNA-PAC for 2008. WSNA-PAC prides itself
on using its limited resources efficiently and wisely to assist candidates who
have demonstrated strong support for WSNA’s legislative issues and those who are
prominent leaders on health care issues.
