Washington Hospitality Association endorses Mark Mullet for governor

State Sen. Mark Mullet announced his candidacy in the 2024 race for governor, and the Washington Hospitality Association Government Affairs Committee voted to offer him our endorsement.


It’s hard to imagine a candidate better suited to represent our industry in particular and the business community in general than Mullet, which is why the association is taking the unprecedented step of endorsing a gubernatorial candidate a year and a half before Election Day.


And as a member of the Washington Hospitality Association, Mullet has been a champion for hospitality, taking the lead on common-sense reforms to the Liquor Cannabis Board, allowing alcohol home delivery, and making needed investments in state tourism, to name just a few notable achievements.


Learn more about Sen. Mark Mullet and our endorsement on our website.
