KIM WYMAN ANNOUNCES BIPARTISAN SLATE OF ENDORSEMENTS FROM WASHINGTON’S ELECTION OFFICIALS

Today Secretary of State Kim Wyman released a bipartisan list of over 50 current and former election officials who are endorsing her for re-election.

“I am honored to have the broad support of Democratic, Republican, and independent election officials from across Washington,” said Wyman. “Earning the endorsement of the people who have conducted elections and know the office the best – secretaries of state, county auditors, and state election directors, is one of my proudest accomplishments.”

These endorsements include all three former Secretaries of State Sam Reed, Ralph Munro, and Bruce Chapman as well as former Oregon Secretary of State Phil Keisling, Democrat. Together they have a combined 44 years of experience leading statewide election offices.

“Our state can be proud that Kim Wyman is the leading Secretary of State in the nation. Other states call her for help, advice and her unparalleled knowledge. I admire her focus on continually improving voters’ access to the elections system while also maintaining security, accuracy, transparency and accountability,” said former Washington Secretary of State Sam Reed (R).

"Kim Wyman has marshaled Washington State’s election community through incredible challenges and changes. As our Secretary of State, Kim delivers stability, decisive action, and results. Kim’s entire focus is on all voters. She’s dedicated her entire career to ensure maximum participation with the highest security. Kim’s committed to maintaining and continuously improving democratic structures that everyone can access, understand, and trust,” said Pierce County Auditor Julie Anderson (nonpartisan).
