*A note about endorsements: Maya filed last minute as a poverty-impacted first-time candidate when she saw there were no women running for a seat being vacated by Bellingham's only Black Woman Council member. She chose to focus on learning how to set up her campaign, how to be a candidate, fleshing out and articulating her platform, and most importantly, as Maya was squeezed for time, she prioritized talking directly with voters at events and at their doors!

After filling out so many endorsement questionnaires and participating in interviews, most unions, endorsing PACs and organizations decided to wait until after the primary to endorse. The individual endorsements below reflect one flurry of emails / calls, after which Maya decided that with such limited time, her entire focus needed to be talking with voters directly and turning out the vote.
