TACOMA, Wash., June 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Law Enforcement Administrators of Washington (LAW) announced their campaign endorsements for the November 2010 elections.

Of nearly 50 candidates seeking election to the State Senate, only two received LAW's endorsement. These included senators Jerome Delvin (R-Richland) and Tracey Eide (D-Federal Way).
Of over 200 candidates seeking election to the House of Representatives, only 14 received LAW's endorsement.

The Law Enforcement Administrators of Washington (LAW) is a privately-funded law enforcement association representing law enforcement administrators. Its membership consists mostly of police chiefs and elected sheriffs in Washington State. The primary association representing law enforcement administrators is the Washington Association of Sheriffs & Police Chiefs (WASPC). While WASPC is able to advocate positions in the legislature, its publicly-funded status prevents it from participating in the endorsement process. LAW was created to offset the limitations placed on WASPC.
