The action re- quires a bylaws change and approval from the national AFL-CIO. The entire process could take months. Several political candidates attended the monthly council meeting, including 3rd Congressional District Democratic hopeful Denny Heck. A staffer from State Sen. Craig Pridemore’s campaign handed out literature. The two are vy- ing for the U.S. House seat being va- cated by Brian Baird. The council will conduct candidate interviews in the coming months and make an endorsement recommendation to the Washington State Labor Council, AFL-CIO. The primary is in August. Also addressing the 40-plus dele- gates and guests were Clark County deputy prosecuting attorney Tony Go- lik and Evergreen school teacher Mon- ica Stonier. Golik, who is president of AFSCME Local 307PA, is running for Clark County prosecutor, and Stonier, a member of the Washington Education Association, is seeking the open State Representatives seat in the 17th District, Position 2.
