Programs

Public interest research polling: The Northwest Progressive Institute commissioned surveys at the state, county, city, legislative district, and congressional district level to ascertain voter preferences on upcoming candidate elections, ballot measures, and pressing issues. Key findings were released to the public throughout the year and received a significant amount of media coverage from the state and national press. Additional data was provided to partners and coalitions to which the organization belongs. Election results from the November 2021 local elections in Washington State corroborated the findings and proved that the data was sound.
