Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
See below for frequently asked questions about the King County Democrats (KC Dems) / King County Democratic Central Committee (KCDCC) endorsements process. If you have a question not covered below, please contact us at [email protected].
Q: Where is the questionnaire for my race?
A: All 2023 King County races should use the KC Dems questionnaire at https://www.kcdems.org/candidate-questionnaire/
Q: Do questions differ depending on the seat I am running for?
A: Yes, once you specify your type of race and jurisdiction, you will see questions based on the position you select.
Q: Does the Endorsement of the King County Democrats matter?
A: In August 2021, 96 of 104 of candidates endorsed in May or June moved forward to the general election. (Meaning that 94% of our endorsed candidates made it past the primary.) In March 2021 the winner of an 8-way race for King Conservation District was endorsed by the King County Democrats.
Q: Do I need to take a copy of my answers directly to my Legislative District?
A: Each Democratic Legislative District (LD) Chair and endorsements team has access to all submitted questionnaires on a private but shared drive hosted by King County Democrats. However, they might also appreciate you proactively providing them with a copy directly. See instructions directly below for how to save the emailed copy of your submitted responses as a PDF file.
Q: How do I get my completed questionnaire?
A: Your questionnaire responses will be emailed to the email address entered at the top of the questionnaire form. Your answers will be provided in text form, within the email itself, as they are automatically sent to you in the form of a survey response. If you need to turn your answers into a PDF, you can copy and paste the answers into a document (such as Microsoft Word, Apple Pages, or Google Docs) that will allow you to save as a PDF, email, or print. or you can use your computer’s print function to save the email text as a PDF.
Having a PDF version of your answers may be useful if you are seeking an endorsement from a Legislative District organization that requests a copy of the King County Democrats questionnaire.
To save your answers as a PDF file directly from the email confirmation you receive upon your questionnaire’s completion, you can use your computer’s print fiction to save the email text as a PDF file.
On Windows: choose File > Print, and choose Adobe PDF as the printer in the print dialog box.
On macOS: choose File > Print, and click on the PDF button at the bottom of the dialog box.
Q: How do I request an additional copy of my questionnaire?
A: If your campaign needs to re-request a copy of your questionnaire, please contact us at [email protected].
Q: How can multiple people collaborate on a questionnaire?
A: You can see the questions in advance (linked at the bottom of this page) and prepare answers at your own pace and submit those answers by filling out the online version of the questionnaire whenever you are ready, so long as you meet our deadlines. You can also save your work and come back to it later (within 30 days of starting the questionnaire). Be sure to save the link on the screen when you save your work for later. We highly recommend that you enter your email address as well, to have the link sent to you.
While timing is mostly up to you, we highly recommend that you complete your questionnaire and submit it to us as soon as possible, so that we can schedule an interview with you as soon as possible. There will likely be more than a thousand candidates running across the county this year, and scheduling interviews with all of them will be taxing for our team of volunteers. The best way to ensure that you are able to complete the interview process in time is to complete the questionnaire as soon as possible.
Q: Is training available for candidates?
A: Yes. Below are some organizations that provide training that may be relevant to candidates:
Above is likely an incomplete list. To suggest an addition, please email us at [email protected].
Q: Does the King County Democrats have a list of recommended campaign staff?
A: No, King County Democrats does not maintain a list of recommended or preferred staff. However, we maintain a list of Campaign Consultants, Campaign Treasurers, and Campaign Managers available for hire, listed further up on this page.
Q: Will I be invited to interview, and when?
A: You will receive an email from us within 3 days of submitting your questionnaire. This email will include the next steps that you will need to take in the endorsement process. For candidates whose race crosses multiple Legislative Districts (LDs), we will send you a Calendly link to schedule an interview with us. If your race falls within a single LD, you will need to contact that LD to follow their endorsement procedures. (As a helpful guide, LDs for each race are listed in a table above.)
Q: When is my first chance to get endorsed by the King County Democrats?
A: On Tuesday, March 9th, the Chair of the King County Democrats indicated a likelihood of meeting on Tuesday, May 23rd but this meeting has not been formally called.
Q: Does the KC Dems Endorsements Committee recommend for “early” endorsements prior to the close of filing?
A: No. The KCDCC Endorsement Procedures requires recommendations be made after the end of the filing period. See Rule I, Section 4.
Q: What is the voting threshold for Endorsement?
A: Majority (>50%) if recommended by the KC Dems Endorsements Committee, two-thirds (>66.66%) if eligible but not recommended by the KC Dems Endorsements Committee. See Bylaws Section 8.3.6.

Q: Are there any rules to prevent conflicts of interest?
A: Yes. Everyone who participates in the KC Dems endorsements process during the interview phase has signed a Conflict of Interest policy, where they agree to disclose any cumulative donations larger than $600 over the course of the past calendar year to any individual candidate, as well as volunteer time given to any individual candidate in an amount greater than 40 hours during this calendar year, any endorsements of any candidates, and any familial, financial, or personal relationships to candidates. If any of our volunteers have any of the above to disclose related to any candidate who asks to be interviewed by our KCDCC Endorsements Committee, those volunteers will be asked to excuse themselves from any processes related to that particular race.
All of our volunteers also sign a confidentiality agreement, agreeing to not share information about discussions or interview performances outside of the committee.
Q: Do other Democratic organizations endorse?
A: Yes, every Democratic Legislative District group in King County, as well as King County Young Democrats, conduct their own endorsements processes. See Legislative District Democrats organizations and King County Young Democrats.
Q: Do I need to be endorsed by other organizations to be considered by KC Dems?
A: This depends. If your jurisdiction crosses two or more Legislative Districts (LDs), you can be considered directly by KC Dems. If your jurisdiction is within a single LD, you must be endorsed by that LD Dems organization to be endorsed by KC Dems. From Bylaws Section 8.3.6: “Candidates and measures that appear on ballots in a single legislative district shall be eligible to receive the KCDCC’s endorsement only if they are endorsed by the Legislative District Organization for that legislative district.”
If you are running for a position entirely within a single LD (ex: State Senator, Duvall City Council), or supporting or opposing a ballot measure that is entirely within a single LD (ex: Mercer Island School Levy), you must be endorsed by the relevant LD Democratic organization before you can be endorsed by the King County Democrats. In this case, you will want to contact the Chair or Endorsements Chair of that legislative district organization and schedule yourself into that LD’s process.
Q: Which jurisdictions cross multiple LDs and which are within a single LD?
