Dear Friend,
Check your mailbox! Ballots are arriving soon with the opportunity to support your local schools and fire districts in the April 23 special election.
Voting YES on these levies, propositions, and initiatives will make a huge difference in your community—especially when we need a simple majority of votes to secure services like school nurses, classroom technology, and fire safety equipment and personnel. On some ballots this year, propositions that failed to get a majority vote in the last special election are being put on the ballot again—for our students, this may be the last chance to ensure that they get the resources they need to thrive in safe school buildings fully equipped for a modern education.
If you haven't already voted, please find your ballot and mail it in today, or put it in a drop box by 8pm on Tuesday, April 23! Then tell your friends and family to do the same. Forward this guide to your friends, family, and co-workers — they can find their own locally customized version at ProgressiveVotersGuide.com/Washington
When we all use our voices, we can bring incredible progress to our communities. Cast your vote today!
Thanks for all you do (especially voting!),
Collin and the entire team at Fuse {% if donations.most_recent_date >= '2024-03-01' or user.recurring_orders.active %}

Camas Ballot Measures
Camas City Proposition #3
Continue EMS Regular Property Tax Levy
YES
|
Depending on where you live, you may have the following city races on your ballot.
Vote YES to continue funding emergency services
Emergencies can happen at any time, and quick and well-trained emergency services can mean the difference between life and death. With an increasing community need for services, the imperative to vote Yes on the renewal of the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Levy on this year's ballot couldn't be clearer.
At a rate of $0.46 per $1,000 of assessed property value, the levy cost to the owner of a $700,000 home would be $322 annually. This investment ensures that the Camas Fire Department can continue to deliver exceptional care from paramedics and firefighters directly to our doorsteps—care that has been a cornerstone of our community's resilience and health for over four decades.
A yes vote on City of Camas Proposition 3 is crucial for maintaining the high standard of emergency medical services that our growing population relies on. Vote Yes on Proposition 3 to continue Camas' level of emergency fire personnel and EMS services.
