The Competition - Who They Are

Washington State is characterized by its geographical and social diversity. Our political landscape is just as diverse and contains a large selection of political interest groups. We do find, however, that some of these groups seem to work in tandem to oppose pro-buisness legislation, and support tax and business policies that degrade private sector competitiveness. The groups are individually well funded, and when working together on the same issues, they create large obsticals to getting the voice of business heard in our state capitol. For information on how these groups are funded, please visit the "What They Do" page, coming soon.
