Candidate Palooza

May 17 @ 12:00 pm - 5:00 pm

Join MLK Labor for its annual Candidate Palooza on May 17, from noon to 6 PM, at the Seattle Labor Temple.

This is your opportunity to hear from numerous candidates for public office across King County as they discuss their plans to tackle key challenges affecting unions and working families. We will have forums for Seattle City Council District 2 and King County Council District 5.

Candidate Palooza will act as official candidate interviews for endorsement purposes. This event is open to all union members. Official endorsements need to take place at an MLK Labor delegate meeting.
