While Inlander commentators are free to give their recommendations, the Inlander itself stopped making endorsements five years ago. Of course, other groups aren't shy about sharing their preferences. Below you have recommendations from Fuse Washington, the state's largest progressive organization, and the top-scoring candidates according to We Believe We Vote, a right-leaning faith-based group in Spokane. Note: We Believe We Vote doesn't explicitly recommend candidates, but rates their alignment with the group's biblical and constitutional principles.
