Initiative 1631 is our best opportunity to accelerate clean energy solutions and build healthier communities for everyone in Washington.
This initiative will charge our state’s largest corporate polluters a fee that will be used to create local jobs by investing in clean energy, healthy forests, and clean water. I-1631 is essential to pass a clean and healthy Washington on to future generations. It will create 40,000 jobs by investing in water and forestry projects, energy efficiency, and clean transportation. These investments are a practical first step to ensure clean air and clean water for everyone in Washington. These will look different in every community, from energy efficiency upgrades for our homes and businesses to keeping our forests healthy so they clean our air and investing in cleaner transportation options for more communities.
The oil industry is spending tens of millions of dollars to confuse voters about I-1631 so they can continue polluting for free and raking in record profits. We can't wait any longer to act. Vote YES on I-1631.

Initiative 1634 would prevent cities and counties in Washington from passing new taxes on sugary beverages. Such taxes are aimed at discouraging people from buying sweetened drinks that have been linked to type 2 diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, and tooth decay.
I-1634 is backed primarily by millions of dollars from a handful of big soda companies. It also has support from some labor unions that represent workers whose jobs could be impacted by soda taxes. The campaign’s highly deceptive ads focus on grocery taxes despite the fact that groceries have been exempt from sales taxes since 1977.
Progressive advocates oppose efforts like this to use state laws to prevent localities from taking action that’s right for their communities. In recent years, Republican legislators have sought to use similar legislation to reverse Seattle’s $15 minimum wage and progressive paid sick leave laws in Tacoma and Spokane.
We’re sympathetic to the concerns of union workers in the beverage industry and we agree that our tax system is upside-down and disproportionately hurts low-income families. However, we don’t think that preempting local legislation that taxes sugary drinks is the way to fix it.
Don’t be fooled by Big Soda’s misleading ads. Vote NO on I-1634.

Initiative 1639 is the most comprehensive gun violence prevention measure put forward in Washington state history. It's a commonsense initiative that will reduce gun violence and keep our schools and communities safe. I-1639 would raise the age to purchase semi-automatic assault rifles from 18 to 21 and require enhanced background checks and safety training for purchasing these particularly lethal weapons. It will also incentivize secure storage of all firearms by holding gun owners accountable if a child or other legally prohibited person uses their weapon to harm themselves or someone else.
Someone is killed with a gun in Washington state every 14 hours and more than 200,000 students have experienced gun violence at school since Columbine. Unfortunately, the gun lobby has prevented our elected officials from acting to prevent it, so we'll do it ourselves. Vote YES on I-1639 to keep our schools and communities safe.

Last year, more people in Washington were killed in encounters with law enforcement than in 45 other states, and almost one-third of them were experiencing a mental health crisis. Initiative 940 would improve de-escalation, first aid, and mental health crisis training for law enforcement and help save lives.
Currently, officers are only required to receive eight hours of "crisis intervention training." Initiative 940 would ensure that every officer receives extensive training and continuing education in de-escalating potential confrontations. The primary goal is preventing tragedies in the first place, but when a tragedy does occur Initiative 940 would also create a fair and independent investigation process and bring our use of force standard in line with 27 other states.

A bipartisan group of legislators passed Engrossed Second Substitute Senate Bill 6269 to fund oil spill prevention and cleanup. The legislation directs the Department of Ecology to improve prevention for oil spills in Puget Sound, as well as around oil refineries, railroads, and pipelines. This bill was funded by a $0.05 tax per 42-gallon barrel of oil used by boats and marine terminals.
Because of a Tim Eyman initiative the Legislature is required to submit any bill it passes that closes tax loopholes or raises revenue to a non-binding advisory vote. Vote MAINTAINED on Advisory Vote 19.

For the past several years, Thurston County has made great strides in improving affordable local transit options through the Intercity Transit system. The Intercity Transit Authority has put forth Proposition No. 1, a sales and use tax increase of 0.4 percent to fund public transportation maintenance and improvement projects. The passage of Proposition No. 1 would finance the expansion of bus services into new localities, extended hours, the creation of a Night Owl service, the addition of transit services for seniors and people living with disabilities, and infrastructure improvements. Fully funding the Intercity Transit agency is necessary to ensuring that Thurston County communities remain connected to the regional transportation system.
If approved, a consumer in Thurston County would pay an additional 4 cents on a $10 purchase. If Proposition No. 1 is rejected, advocates estimate that 15 percent of existing transit services will be cut and it would eventually lead to several bus lines being canceled. Vote YES to improve Intercity Transit and keep Thurston County connected.

For the past several years, Thurston County has made great strides in improving affordable local transit options through the Intercity Transit system. The Intercity Transit Authority has put forth Proposition No.

County Proposition
1
For the past several years, Thurston County has made great strides in improving affordable local transit options through the Intercity Transit system. The Intercity Transit Authority has put forth Proposition No. 1, a sales and use tax increase of 0.4 percent to fund public transportation maintenance and improvement projects. The passage of Proposition No. 1 would finance the expansion of bus services into new localities, extended hours, the creation of a Night Owl service, the addition of transit services for seniors and people living with disabilities, and infrastructure improvements. Fully funding the Intercity Transit agency is necessary to ensuring that Thurston County communities remain connected to the regional transportation system.
If approved, a consumer in Thurston County would pay an additional 4 cents on a $10 purchase. If Proposition No. 1 is rejected, advocates estimate that 15 percent of existing transit services will be cut and it would eventually lead to several bus lines being canceled. Vote YES to improve Intercity Transit and keep Thurston County connected.

Democratic Carolyn Long is an associate professor at the School of Politics at WSU Vancouver. Her platform includes protecting the health care of those with preexisting conditions, stabilizing the Affordable Care Act, and providing effective health care for those with addiction and mental illnesses. She is also prioritizing treating gun violence like a public health crisis, caring for veterans, reforming the tax code to make it fairer for middle-class families, and protecting Medicare and Social Security.
Long is running against incumbent Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler, an extremely conservative Republican who has consistently sided with far-right members of her party on important issues. In particular, Rep. Herrera Beutler voted in favor of congressional Republicans’ $1.5 trillion tax giveaway to corporations and the wealthy few.
Long is the best choice for Congress in the 3rd Congressional District.

Dr. Kim Schrier is a pediatrician who was inspired to run for Washington’s 8th Congressional District because of Republican efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act. She is committed to building an economy that works for everyone and protecting Social Security and Medicare for all. She also wants to bring her voice to the debates about women’s health care and abortion rights in Congress, where there are currently no women doctors. Dr. Schrier supports letting Americans of any age buy into Medicare on a sliding scale to reduce overhead costs and increase competition for private insurers.
Dr. Schrier is running against Republican Dino Rossi, who previously ran unsuccessful campaigns for governor and U.S. Senate. Rossi has consistently sided with congressional Republicans, including supporting the repeal of the Affordable Care Act and tax cuts for corporations and the wealthy few. He is also strongly anti-choice and does not support commonsense gun safety legislation. While in the state Legislature, he wrote a budget that would have taken away health care from 45,000 low-income kids. Rossi would be another reliable vote for the Republican leaders and powerful special interests in Washington, D.C.
We need new leadership in Congress that puts working families before corporations and the wealthy elites who rig the rules. Dr. Kim Schrier is the best choice for Washington's 8th Congressional District.

Representative Denny Heck is a moderate Democrat who has had a long and effective career in both the private and public sectors. In Olympia, he served as a five-term state representative, House majority leader, and chief of staff to former Gov. Booth Gardner, and is the co-founder of TVW. In Congress, he has fought to make college more affordable, reduce health care costs, create middle class jobs, and ensure veterans get the benefits they have earned. He supports immigration policies that create a path to citizenship and has been working this year to help prevent health care premium increases due to Trump's policies.
Heck is running against Republican Joseph Brumbles, a self-described constitutional conservative. His campaign platform is undetailed and states that he is standing for "liberty." He suggests solving the issue of affordable energy with the free market and not taxing fossil fuels, and he wants to reduce the size of government by eliminating federal agencies.

Democrat Anneliese Feld is running to unseat Republican Rep. Andrew Barkis in the 2nd Legislative District House Position 1. Feld wants to work across the aisle to fix our state's upside-down tax code and address the growing homelessness crisis in the Puget Sound region. Additionally, Feld believes that local elected officials must be responsive to their constituents regardless of ideological differences and aims to increase residents' access to elected officials.
Feld faces an uphill battle against Rep. Barkis, who is a party-line Republican. Throughout his tenure, Rep. Barkis has opposed most progressive reforms, including voting against equal pay protections for women this past legislative session. Feld is the best choice in this race.

Two veteran prosecutors are running for Pierce County Prosecuting Attorney: Mary Robnett and incumbent Mark Lindquist, both of whom have received progressive endorsements. We lean towards the highly respected and experienced Robnett for a fresh start after years of controversies under Lindquist.
Attorney Mary Robnett has spent 18 years working in the Pierce County Prosecuting Attorney's office. She worked in the office’s special assault unit before being promoted to Chief Criminal Deputy Prosecutor. Robnett now works as an Assistant Attorney General in the Sexually Violent Predators unit in Bob Ferguson’s office. As a dedicated community advocate, Robnett is the president of the Sexual Assault Center of Pierce County, a local non-profit organization that provides therapy, education, and advocacy services to survivors of sexual assault and abuse.
Robnett is running as a non-partisan candidate with a focus on de-politicizing and restoring integrity to the Pierce County Prosecuting Attorney's office, and letting veteran prosecutors do their job. She has strong support in the legal and law enforcement communities.

Mark Lindquist is running for his third term as Pierce County Prosecuting Attorney. He has earned a reputation for being a hard worker, and his accomplishments include forming an Elder Fraud and Identity Theft team to prosecute targeted scams against the elderly and helping increase penalties against drunk drivers. He has earned the support of many local progressive organizations.
Unfortunately, Lindquist has also generated several high-profile ethics controversies. He faced a whistleblower investigation that found he ran a highly politicized office and retaliated against subordinates and critics who disagreed with him. Lindquist is facing a formal bar disciplinary hearing for discussing an active murder trial on a national cable television show while the jury was still deliberating, against the advice of his staff. If Lindquist loses the case, he could lose his license to practice law and be unable to carry out the duties of his office. In addition, Lindquist lost a long-running lawsuit over his refusal to release text messages in public disclosure requests, costing Pierce County taxpayers more than $1 million in fines and fees. We also have concerns about Lindquist's lack of progress toward reducing racial inequities in the local criminal justice system.

Democrat Mary Hall is running for re-election for Thurston County Auditor. In 2013, Hall became the first Democrat to be elected to the auditor position in 71 years. Since taking office, Hall has worked across the aisle and has successfully advocated for same-day voter registration, automatic voter registration, pre-registration for 16 and 17 year-olds, and the Washington Voting Rights Act. Hall is passionate about her commitment to public service and making voting more accessible for all eligible residents.
Hall is opposed by independent candidate Stuart Holmes. Holmes, who is running on a platform of accountability and transparency, has only been endorsed by Republicans, and lacks broad support from the community. Hall is the best choice in this race.

Democrat Mary Hall is running for re-election for Thurston County Auditor. In 2013, Hall became the first Democrat to be elected to the auditor position in 71 years. Since taking office, Hall has worked across the aisle and has successfully advocated for same-day voter registration, automatic voter registration, pre-registration for 16 and 17 year-olds, and the Washington Voting Rights Act. Hall is passionate about her commitment to public service and making voting more accessible for all eligible residents.
Hall is opposed by independent candidate Stuart Holmes. Holmes, who is running on a platform of accountability and transparency, has only been endorsed by Republicans, and lacks broad support from the community. Hall is the best choice in this race.

There are two good candidates running to be the Thurston County Prosecuting Attorney: Jon Tunheim and Victor Minjares. Read the full guide below for more information about their candidacies.
Incumbent Democrat Jon Tunheim is running for re-election as the Thurston County Prosecuting Attorney. First elected in 2010, Tunheim is focused on building strong partnerships with law enforcement, finding ways to lower recidivism, and reforming the county's bail system. Tunheim brings 30 years of criminal law experience to the position. During his tenure, the Prosecuting Attorney’s office opened an independent pre-trial services department and a mental health triage center to help those suffering from mental illness. Outside of the office, Tunheim serves as the current President of United Way of Thurston County and the Washington Association of Prosecuting Attorneys.
Tunheim has received criticism from the media and community advocates for not proactively pursuing criminal justice reforms and for a pattern of mismanagement that has led to delays and redundancies in the justice process. Also, it is worth noting that Jon Tunheim approved the county commissioners' bid to cooperate with ICE.

Attorney Victor Minjares is challenging incumbent Prosecuting Attorney Tunheim on a platform of restorative justice that advocates for better financial stewardship, the streamlining of the justice process, and improvement of diversion programs. During his 30 years as a criminal and civil lawyer, Minjares worked as a prosecuting attorney for the Washington State Attorney General's office and as a private attorney in Thurston County. If elected, Minjares aims to reform rules of conduct, filing and trial guidelines, and sentencing policies within the office, as well as prioritize reducing overcrowding in jails.
Though Minjares' community-focused campaign and innovative ideas for reforming the Prosecuting Attorney's Office have earned him the support of many local progressive organizations and activists, other local advocates and The Olympian have raised concerns about his blunt communication style and his ability to build consensus among key stakeholders.

Supreme Court Justice Steve Gonzalez has earned national recognition for his judicial expertise and work to increase access to the judicial system. Before serving on the Supreme Court, Justice Gonzalez served as an Assistant U.S. Attorney and on the King County Superior Court for more than 10 years hearing criminal, juvenile, and family law cases. Justice Gonzalez is devoted to working for the people of Washington and serves as a board member for the Washington Leadership Institute, an organization that supports emerging community leaders from diverse backgrounds. As one of the few multi-lingual justices, he chairs the Interpreter Commission. Justice Gonzalez is rated "Exceptionally Well Qualified" by 10 independent bar associations in Washington state.
Gonzalez is being challenged by Bellevue-based attorney Nathan Choi, who ran unsuccessfully for a judicial seat on the Court of Appeals in 2016. Since then, Choi has faced numerous ethical controversies. In 2017, the King County Bar Association formally reprimanded Choi for violating KCBA's fair campaign practices guidelines by releasing misleading campaign materials and failing to follow state candidate rules. In February of this year, Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson formally filed a lawsuit against Nathan Choi in a Thurston County Court. The case is still open.
Justice Steve Gonzalez is the best choice for Supreme Court Justice Position 8.

Attorney Lizanne Padula is running for the Pierce County District Court Judge Position 3. As a former prosecutor, private litigator, and reserve police officer, Padula has spent her career helping people navigate the court system. Padula aims to improve the criminal justice system by prioritizing the public safety needs of the community and only offering punitive sanctions that serve to rehabilitate offenders.

Williams has been rated "Exceptionally Well Qualified" by the Tacoma-Pierce County Bar, Washington Women Lawyers, and the Tacoma Pierce County Minority Bar Associations.
Williams is running a highly competitive race against current Assistant Chief Criminal Deputy Prosecutor John Sheeran, who has more than 22 years of legal experience. Sheeran is supportive of strengthening the mental health and drug courts in Pierce County. However, Karl Williams is the best choice in this race because of his judicial experience and ties with the community.

School Districts
Depending on where you live, you may have one of the below school district races on your ballot.
The Bethel School District is proposing Proposition No. 1, a $443 million bond to reduce overcrowding and improve school safety. Since 2009, the school district has increased by nearly 2,000 students, which has strained available resources for students. Proposition No. 1 would finance the building of a new high school and two new elementary schools, as well as modernize six older schools. Approving this proposal would maintain the current tax rate.
Our schools are the foundation of our children's futures. Vote to reduce overcrowding and approve the Bethel School District's Proposition No. 1.
