Vote YES to equip our schools with the basic resources they need

South Kitsap relies on local levies to bridge the gap between what the state funds and what our students need to access a modern and safe education. South Kitsap School District Proposition 1 would authorize a replacement for the district’s Educational Programs and Operations (EP&O) Levy, which is set to expire at the end of the year.

Without a renewal, our students, teachers, and support staff will lose the programs and resources they rely on for a high-quality, local education. Some budget items that depend on the levy include athletics programs, infrastructure maintenance, student buses and transportation, custodians, arts programs, instructional supplies, counselors, extracurricular activities, and special education services and staff.

This EP&O Levy renewal was approved recently by South Kitsap’s school board. If passed, the levy will cost homeowners $1.94 per $1,000 in assessed property value over the next four years. This means that the owner of a $500,000 home can expect to pay approximately $970 annually. The levy – which is estimated to generate around $30-60 million each year – accounts for 16% of the district’s budget.

Our entire community benefits from a strong school district that provides every student with high-quality curriculums, enriching programs, and safe, modern learning environments. Vote Yes on South Kitsap School District Proposition 1 to equip our students for the futures they deserve.

Approve 8201 to grow WA Cares Funding!

SJR 8201 will grow Washington’s long-term care fund for aging people and people with disabilities, keeping premiums low, without costing taxpayers a single penny. Also known as the “Allow Investment of Long-Term Services and Supports Trust Fund Amendment," SJR 8201 is a constitutional amendment adding accountability protections to our long-term care fund, requiring that 100% of investment income be used for long-term care.

If passed, SJR 8201 would increase the state’s long-term care fund for vulnerable Washingtonians by at least $67 billion over the next 50 years by allowing the nonpartisan Washington State Investment Board to diversify investments. In the state legislature, 128 legislators voted in favor of the measure, and only 16 were opposed. Additionally, it has the support of groups such as the Washington State Nurses Association, the Washington State Council of Fire Fighters, Planned Parenthood, and the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.

Vote APPROVED on SJR 8201 to protect and grow our state’s independent long-term care fund for aging adults and people with disabilities.
