As a voter committed to real progress in Washington State, it is important that you cast your vote in every race and measure on your ballot. The race or measure you skip could be the one that keeps Washington from achieving equal rights for Washington's lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals and families, high-quality health care for all, excellence in education, real security for our most vulnerable neighbors and a cleaner, safer environment, tax reform that makes everybody pay their fair share and promotes a healthy business environment.

This Voters Guide identifies the candidates in your district with the greatest leadership or voting records on a variety of issue areas and the ballot measure positions that will make or impede progress in Washington.

This past year, our country has witnessed the most aggressive legislative attacks on women's health and rights in a generation. With 130,000 patients coming through the doors of Planned Parenthood in Washington every year, we must elect leaders who will protect our access to lifesaving health care, including breast exams, cancer screenings, and birth control. We can't let Washington women down. As a voter, you have the power to choose which candidates will ultimately determine whether our health will be supported and our health care remains accessible—and you can do that by electing the champions we have recommended below.

Women are watching, educating their friends, sharing, taking action, and WE WILL BE VOTING. Return your ballot by November 6th.

Vote NO on 1185: Tim Eyman's Latest Recipe for Gridlock

Non-Partisan
Tim Eyman is back with another self-serving initiative to create legislative gridlock in Olympia. Initiative 1185 would require a 2/3 supermajority vote to close tax loopholes or raise revenue to pay for schools, health care, universities, or anything else. Thanks to Eyman's previous initiative, several attempts to prevent cuts in school funding and close tax loopholes for special interests have been blocked by a small number of legislators. As a result, big oil companies like BP and Conoco Phillips are dumping hundreds of thousands of dollars into this initiative to protect their lucrative and unfair tax loopholes. Vote NO on I-1185 — Tim Eyman's latest recipe for gridlock.
