What's New
While it was disappointing to see the opportunity to elect our first woman president slip away we need to acknowledge the positive impact of Senator Clinton's campaign. She proved that it's possible for a woman to run a viable and credible campaign for our nation's top office and she made doing that seem normal.
Thanks to so many NWPC members and friends there are, as Clinton said in her very moving concession speech, eighteen million cracks in that highest and hardest of glass ceilings. Hopefully Clinton's example will inspire women and girls to run for office and make a difference.
But in the meantime we have some real challenges and opportunities here in Washington State that need our attention. Governor Gregoire is in a tough race against conservative, anti-choice Dino Rossi and Darcy Burner has a very real shot at unseating Dave Reichert in the 8th CD. We have some amazing women running for the legislature, county executive, and county council seats across the state. Please join us, we need your help!
Congratulations to NWPC-WA President Linda Mitchell who was elected a Clinton National Delegate at the State Convention earlier this month, and to NWPC National President Lulu Flores who was elected a Clinton National Delegate from Texas.

The NWPC-WA is beginning the regular endorsement process and interviews will be held later this month. Early Endorsements were complted in May.
