I am very proud to have the early endorsement of AWB and its many members. Major employers and small business are the real job creators and economic engine in our state. As a co-owner of a small manufacturing business and an employer, it’s and honor to be recognized by my peers. Pleased to note that I had the highest score of the Senators endorsed.
The Association of Washington Business, formed in 1904, is Washington’s oldest and largest statewide business association, and includes nearly 8000 members representing 700,000 employees. AWB serves as both the state’s Chamber of C Commerce and the Manufacturing and Technology Association. While its membership includes major employers like Boeing, Microsoft and Weyerhaeuser, 92 percent of AWB members employ fewer than 100 people. More than half of AWB’s membership employ few than 10.
