ONLINE REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED. Please contact office@thegsba.org or call the GSBA office at 206.363.9188 if you'd like to attend tonight's event.

GSBA is proud to organize the only pre-primary candidate event in our region focused specifically on the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer community. There are many contested legislative and judicial elections this year - come meet the candidates face-to-face and find out where they stand on YOUR issues. The format is a cocktail mixer where all guests are free to mingle at will. Food and beverages will be provided.

This is a non-partisan event, and all candidates in each race are invited and have been informed that participation does not imply an endorsement by any participating organization. Candidates from King, Pierce, Snohomish, and Kitsap counties running in local, statewide, legislative, and judicial races have been invited. Confirmed attendees will be listed soon.

This event is FREE however registration is required. As guests in Amazon’s building, attendees must present a valid government-issued photo ID upon arrival.
