Learn how each of our WSNA-PAC endorsed candidates performed in the election, including two WSNA nurses.

This week Washington state held their primary election. Your WSNA-PAC watches these election results closely to see how our endorsed candidates perform. The criteria that the WSNA-PAC Board uses in order to cast endorsements is largely based on each candidate’s support for nurses, as well as voting records if they are incumbents.
