Candidate Recruitment

The best way to improve the business climate in Washington state is to recruit proven private-sector leaders to run for public office. Experienced private-sector leaders not only possess great managerial skills and make great leaders, but they also understand the public policy issues important to the private sector.

Unfortunately, for many years the state legislature has been largely absent of professional business leaders on both sides of the aisle.

Enterprise Washington and its members work hard to recruit candidates who are a strong match for their district, understand the private sector and who will support pro-marketplace public policy if elected.

If you have any business colleagues who you think should one day consider running for public office, you can download a candidate recruitment handbook.
