New list of redlink women politicians from Washington State
Some redlinks that could be fixed: past women who served in the
Washington State Legislature and are therefore presumptively notable per
WP:POLITICIAN but are not yet in the encyclopedia. I've also added the years they served and an external link to biographical information from the Legislature's website. Note that the legislature's website includes middle initials, but I've excluded them except as necessary for disambiguation per
MOS:NAMES .
Much of the biographical information comes from
this book on the Legislature's website , which also has photos, although it appears Washington State government works
may not be public domain . Another fantastic resource is:
this book from the Legislature . Also worth checking
Legacy Washington , where the bios seem to be based partly on the ones in the Political Pioneers book but may be more complete.
Here is a
sandbox where I'm working on a stub template for these articles.
Here's
another for building out individual articles.
I've bolded entries who served at least six years or also held other office.
