Vote Maintained on Advisory Vote 16

A bipartisan group of legislators passed Engrossed Substitute House Bill 1597, which included a small excise tax in order to increase environmental protections for regional fish and wildlife.

Advisory Vote #17

VOTE MAINTAINED

Vote Maintained on Advisory Vote 17

Our state has been under Supreme Court order to fully fund education for several years. This June, Republicans and Democrats came together to approve a bipartisan package of revenue increases for public schools, including expanding the Business and Occupation tax. While this does not solve the education funding problem, the package goes a long way towards providing a quality education for all students. This non-binding advisory vote is required thanks to a Tim Eyman ballot measure. Vote “Maintained” on Advisory Vote 17.

Advisory Vote #18

VOTE MAINTAINED

Vote Maintained on Advisory Vote 18

In addition to the business taxes covered in Advisory Vote 17, a strong bipartisan majority of state legislators voted to increase local property taxes to fund schools. We have concerns about raising regressive property taxes that disproportionately impact working families and make our upside-down tax code even worse. However, we are optimistic about retaking the state Senate this fall and working with progressives in Olympia next year to reduce this tax and instead make the wealthy pay their fair share.

Like the other advisory votes, this is a non-binding measure required by a Tim Eyman ballot initiative. Vote “Maintained” on Advisory Vote 18.

Kristiana Johnson

Kristiana Johnson is running for re-election to Edmonds City Council, Position 1. She has worked as a city and regional planner for King County and the City of Bellevue. Her campaign focuses on protecting the city's cultural history, local waterways, and the Edmonds Marsh. On the council, Johnson voted to extend a ban on crumb rubber following public concern over negative environmental and health consequences on the Woodway Campus.

Johnson is being challenged by Josh Thompson, a legislative aide to Snohomish County Councilmember Stephanie Wright. Johnson's proven track record on balancing environmental protections with economic growth has earned her a second term.
