Political Action Committee

FOR CANDIDATES

The Washington State Farm Bureau PAC ("Farm Bureau PAC") is governed by a twelve-member Board of Trustees, who make endorsement and contribution decisions based on recommendations from the affected county Farm Bureau Candidate Evaluation Committees (CEC). 

For the 2008 election, 23 county Candidate Evaluation Committees have been formed. 

For legislative and local races, the CECs may host interviews or undertake other activities to evaluate candidates and make endorsement recommendations to their county board of directors.  In cases where a legislative district includes more than one county Farm Bureau, the affected CECs are strongly encouraged to jointly interview candidates if interviews are to be held.
