Whom Do You Endorse? Make It Known on Sammamish-Issaquah Patch

Fall is officially here, and that means the general election on Nov. 6 is right around the corner.

Along with the presidential election, several state seats are up for grabs this year. Sammamish-Issaquah voters will be choosing representation in the 5th, and 41st and 45th state legislative districts, along with the 8th US Congressional District.

Statewide, voters will also select a new governor, and decide the fate of controversial initiatives on gay marriage and marijuana.
