FARM BUREAU PAC ISSUES PRIMARY ELECTION ENDORSEMENTS
LACEY, WA - The political action committee of the Washington Farm Bureau, the state's largest general farm organization, has announced candidate endorsements for the upcoming primary election. Candidates are recommended for endorsement based on their voting records (if already in office) and understanding and support of Farm Bureau policy. To see the complete legislative vote record for 2010 and past years, visit www.wsfb.com/issues/voterecord.
