Washington state

  • Approve R-88 to approve I-1000. Fairness and opportunity for ALL Washingtonians!
  • Reject I-976. Protect funding for repairing local roads, ADA transit services, and traffic improvements!
  • Maintain Advisory Votes 20-30. In Washington, we have the most upside-down tax system in the country, where low- and middle-income families pay a much larger share of their salary than those at the top. Tim Eyman fought to put these advisory votes on the ballot to erode public trust in our government. By voting to maintain all of them we can make sure everyone, especially the wealthy, pay their fair share for public schools, affordable health care, and investments that help grow our economy.
