Candidates endorsed by Seattle King County REALTORS® have earned the association’s endorsement based on their voting record and/or responses to our candidate interview questionnaire. A panel of REALTOR® volunteers conduct all interviews and forward recommendations for endorsement to the Governmental Affairs Committee. Endorsements then need to be approved by a two-thirds vote of the committee.
Seattle King County REALTORS® (SKCR) is working to ensure that public policies support homeownership and your business's bottom line.
Please contact Taylor Shanaman, Director of Governmental and Public Affairs, with any local legislative issues that may need our attention.
The next issue will be released in October 2024.
