City (and County) leaders decide on community funding priorities, and pass policies like Vision Zero and Complete Streets. Washington Bikes endorses bike friendly candidates for office to help voters know who their leaders are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>True bike champions aren&#8217;t just following the playbook and voting for policies to make communities safer and more accessible for people to walk and bike \u2013 they\u2019re pushing the envelope and opening the door to new ideas. Champions spearhead ideas among their peers and advocate to make them happen. Bike champions also know that they don&#8217;t have all the answers \u2013&nbsp; they listen to and collaborate with advocates and constituents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That is why Washington Bikes is excited to endorse these 20 Puget Sound bike champions for office. Some of these candidates will have a Primary Election on August 1. Others will show up on the ballot for the November 7 General Election. Between now and Election Day, we encourage you to show up for these candidates in any way you can, because we know they\u2019ll be showing up for people who bike if and when they win their election.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Washington Bikes is proud to endorse the following candidates for office:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"746\" src=\"https:\/\/wabikes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/WAB-2023-early-endorsement-image-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-38695\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Washington Bikes will be rolling out more endorsements closer to the election.
