State Conventions: what are their purposes in an election year? Teach with TVW continues its road trip around the state to show what happens at the party conventions.
Focus: Washington State Democratic Party Convention

In June, The Washington State Democratic Party held their 2024 State Convention in Bellevue. Boasting their most diverse delegation ever, delegates from across the state joined together to meet with members of their caucuses, collaborate on ideas on how to strengthen their party, vote to adopt their party platform and resolutions, and formulate a unified message to get Democrats elected.

What the purpose of an endorsement in an election? The Mainstream Republicans of Washington held their annual conference in May to discuss issues facing the state, endorse candidates for office, and to brainstorm how to combat divisiveness within the state. From panel discussions on the fentanyl crisis and dam removal to Building Bridges across the aisle, Republicans from across the state gathered to exchange views on how to best get Mainstream Republicans elected to office.

06/05/2024

Candidate Endorsements: how do they really work?
The Washington State Labor Council, AFL-CIO is the umbrella organization for over 600 labor unions in the state. In May, they held their Committee on Political Education (COPE) Endorsing Convention, where candidates from both parties came to talk to union delegates in hopes of earning the endorsement of the WSLC. After watching this 5 minute video, you will understand the role that the unions can play in an election.

Throughout the Election Season, candidates will share with voters who has endorsed their campaign. But how do candidates get those precious endorsements? How do endorsements benefit the candidate? What do endorsements mean to the voter? Teach with TVW is here to explain it all in our Elections Explained series. Throughout this Election Season, we will produce and share videos that break down all the intricacies and nuances of how elections really work in Washington State.
