In partnership with TVW, the Office of Secretary of State is proud to present a new Video Voters Guide to help voters make informed decisions in the 2018 Primary and General Elections.

At the Video Voters Guide, which the Yakima Herald-Republic calls “must-see TV for (the) 2018 election,” viewers can watch unedited candidate statements for the four statewide races on this year’s ballots — three Washington state Supreme Court justice positions and a seat in the United States Senate.

Twenty candidates — 17 from the crowded field vying for the Senate seat — have posted video vignettes explaining their reasons for running. The short videos will also run periodically on TVW’s cable TV channels, and they’re available on demand until election time at the TVW website. It’s a convenient way to help decide whom to vote for as the August 7 Primary draws nearer.
