The Progressive Party of Washington State is a minor political party in the U.S. state of Washington. Origins It is one of a small number of progressive parties that have existed in several American states such as Oregon, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Vermont. It was formed in 2003 and has been described as considering itself to be a revival of the original "Bull Moose" Progressive Party of 1912, as well as a continuation of the most recent national Progressive Party. Activities Like other progressive parties, it does not field presidential candidates, but seeks to influence and bring up issues at the local and state office level and, like the Green Party, it believes that Government should be run by people and not by corporations, so does not accept contributions from the business sector. It was co-founded and chaired (as at 2016) by Linde Knighton, who previously held the office of Deputy Chair of Washington State Green Party before leaving to form the Progressive Party. In 2006 she was its candidate for the state house seat from . * Equality in well-being * Police Reform * Bill of Rights emphasis * Equality in education * Children’s rights * Native American Rights * Respect for and enforcement of UN principles-Fair Trade * Women’s Rights * Election Reform/Campaign Finance Reform * Ecology, respect for and conservation of the earth and its living systems * Economic Well-being.
