Statewide Ballot Measures

Initiative #1366

  • VOTE NO

    No on Tim Eyman's I-1366

    Website Facebook Endorsements
  • Initiative-1366 from Tim Eyman orders the legislature to send a constitutional amendment to the voters next year requiring a two-thirds supermajority vote to close tax loopholes or raise revenue. If legislators refuse, Eyman’s initiative would create an $8 billion hole in our state budget over the next six years by cutting the sales tax by a full 1 percent.

    The timing for I-1366 is very bad. Our state is being fined $100,000 a day for failing to fully fund education, yet Eyman’s initiative would make it nearly impossible to close wasteful corporate tax loopholes or fix our state’s upside down tax system. Not surprisingly, Initiative 1366’s largest donors are big developers and Wall Street interests who have given Eyman hundreds of thousands of dollars to protect their special tax loopholes.

    Eyman proposed nearly the exact same initiative last year and it was broadly criticized. The Spokane Spokesman-Review referred to his previous effort as Eyman’s “worst ever” idea. Others called this initiative “extortion” (Walla Walla Union Bulletin) and “disingenuous” (Everett Herald), saying it is simply a ploy to keep Eyman’s initiative promotion business up and running.

    We oppose I-1366 because it would prevent us from fixing our state’s upside down tax system or fully funding our kids’ schools. Join this broad coalition listed below and vote NO on I-1366.

  • VOTE YES

    Vote Yes on Saving Animals from Extinction

    Website Facebook Endorsements
  • Initiative 1401 seeks to help save endangered animals from extinction by making the selling, purchasing, trading, or distributing of animals threatened with extinction punishable by law. From African Elephants to the Javan Tiger, animals are disappearing from our planet at an alarming rate. Passing Initiative 1401 means that our last remaining elephants, rhinos, tigers, lions, cheetahs, leopards, pangolins, marine turtles, sharks, and rays will at least be somewhat protected from the illegal animal trade here in our home state.

Advisory Vote #11

  • VOTE MAINTAINED

    Vote "Maintain" on Tax Advisory Vote No. 11

  • A bipartisan majority of legislators came together earlier this year to clarify that the marijuana excise tax should also apply to medical marijuana sales. There are a number of progressives who disagree with this tax, but unfortunately, the time to lobby against it was during the 2014 legislative session. Senate Bill 5052 passed the legislature 101 to 44 with 2 excused. Per Eyman’s initiative, the state legislature is required to submit any bill it passes that closes tax loopholes or raises revenue to a non-binding advisory vote. Even if 100 percent of voters rejected this advisory measure, it would remain a tax, as Eyman's advisory votes are purely intended to push an anti-tax message. Vote to "maintain" this measure, and push back against Eyman's anti-tax message.

  • Current Snohomish County Council President Dave Somers is running for Snohomish County Executive. Somers is an experienced and capable member of the Snohomish County Council with an exceptional track-record on environmental and smart growth issues. He worked as a fisheries biologist before joining the Council. He's supported measures to create parks and open spaces, protect farmland, increase transit funding, and invest in alternative fuels. Somers also supports focusing new development in urban areas with easy transportation access.

    Although the candidates do not have deep ideological differences, Somers is challenging Lovick because he believes Lovick has been a poor manager of the County’s finances. Somers is campaigning on providing stronger fiscal management, transportation improvements, and supporting manufacturing jobs. But Somers has frustrated many progressives by opposing a proposal that would tie Boeing’s tax breaks to keeping jobs in Washington.

    If you’re looking for a candidate with an impressive track record on smart growth, transportation, and environmental protection in Snohomish County, Somers is a good choice.

He has previously represented Snohomish County’s 44th Legislative District in the state House, and served as a state trooper for 31 years before being elected as Sheriff in 2007. Lovick’s first term has been rocky at times as he has sought to clean up the mess left by disgraced former executive Aaron Reardon.

    Although there are not deep ideological differences between the candidates, they have taken a different approach to some policies. Unlike Somers, Lovick sided with conservative developers by proposing updates to the county’s growth management plan that would worsen sprawl as the county grows. On the other hand, Lovick has been an outspoken supporter of requiring Boeing to keep jobs in Washington state in order to receive tax incentives, earning him organized labor’s support in this election.

    Brian Sullivan

  • Brian Sullivan is running for re-election to Snohomish County Council, District 2. A small business owner who now chairs the County Council's Finance and Economic Committee, Sullivan has worked to promote the economy of Snohomish County and supports living wages for all. He has previously served in the state House, where he was recognized as an environmental champion, and has served as Mukilteo's Mayor, and as a Mukilteo City Councilman. Sullivan is a strong supporter of requiring Boeing to maintain a certain number of jobs in Washington in order to receive tax breaks.

    Sullivan's opponent, Greg Tisdale, is a moderate businessman from Everett who supports commercial passenger flights from Paine Field, which Sullivan opposes. Some progressives are supporting Tisdale because of concern for Growth Management Act votes Sullivan has taken. However, Tisdale is also being backed by a number of far-right conservatives in the area. We think Sullivan is the better choice in this race due to his endorsements from our progressive partners and for his strong record supporting working people.
