  • 2010 Missed Votes Report for Legislators Released
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: John Barnes April 14, 2010 206-999-9908 | [email protected] 2010 Missed Votes Report for Legislators Released Olympia – WashingtonVotes.org has released its annual Missed Votes Report, detailing missed roll call votes on bills for every legislator during the 2010 Legislative Session, including the special Session. WashingtonVotes.org, the premier legislative information website in Washington, provides concise, plain-English, objective descriptions of every bill, amendment and vote of the Washington legislature. WashingtonVotes.org Director Brandon Houskeeper said “the Missed Votes Report enables Washingtonians to track the actions of their elected officials in Olympia without having to read and record information from thousands of pages of legislative documents.” Houskeeper added, “our Missed Votes Report puts that same information in front Washingtonians with just one or two clicks.” There are a variety of reasons legislators miss votes. Houskeeper observed. “Legislators are often meeting with constituents, other lawmakers or dealing with unexpected emergencies, and that is the value of the Missed Votes Report.” Houskeeper noted, “Washingtonians can use WashingtonVotes.org as an informational resource and tool to see if legislators have a consistent pattern of missing votes.” To see the total number of votes each Senator and Representative missed during the 2010 Session, go to http://www.washingtonvotes.org/MissedVotes.aspx and adjust the date range accordingly. You can see reports from previous sessions by changing the date criteria at the top of the page. Click on a legislator’s name for detailed information about the votes he or she missed. WashingtonVotes.org contacted the legislators from each chamber who missed the most votes and gave them an opportunity to explain why they missed votes.

  • 2011-2012 Legislative Scorecard
    2011-2012 LEGISLATIVE SCORECARD 2011-2012 Legislative Scorecard | 1 DEAR SCORECARD READER Welcome to the 2011-2012 Washington Conservation Voters Scorecard, your trusted guide to environmental politics in Washington. The Scorecard tells the story of the Legislature’s record over the past two years, holding individual members accountable for their environmental votes. Unfortunately we can’t record the votes that didn’t happen. The past two years have largely been defensive, and we have had to work tirelessly to prevent rollbacks on our most basic environmental protections. WCV helped stop over 75 bad bills from receiving floor votes in 2012. The credit, however, goes to you: citizen activists who have demonstrated their strength in amaz- ing ways over the past two years, providing effective grassroots pressure at critical moments. We recognize that state budget shortfalls have placed pressure on environ- mental and natural resource programs, but the lack of progress on issues like Puget Sound restoration and climate change can also be attributed to a troubling lack of bipartisan strength on our issues. If we are ever to succeed on tackling some of our State’s hardest-to-solve problems, it will be because of a commitment to problem-solving on both sides of the political aisle. WCV is committed to ensuring that our shared environmental values are turned into legislative priorities. As a bipartisan organization, we will continue to build strong environmental leaders in both parties, working together to cre- ate a strong economy and healthy environment for our state. Together with Washington Environmental Council, our legislative partner, we will continue to collaborate with the 25 organizations in the Environmental Priorities Coalition to deliver achievements on the issues you care about.

    State of Washington & Skagit County Voters’ Pamphlet November 6, 2012 General Election Published by the Office of the Secretary of State Published& the Skagit by the County Office Auditor of the Secretary of State & County Name Here 2 A Message from Secretary of State Sam Reed As I prepare to leave public service after 12 years as your Secretary of State and 45 years in government, I extend my warmest thanks for the great opportunity to serve you and this tremendous state. It has been an honor. Together, over the past decade, we have reformed our election system and made it fair, accessible, accurate and secure. In the aftermath of the 2004 governor’s race, the closest in U.S. history, we established a statewide database of registered voters, online voter registration and candidate filing, and a thousand other upgrades to the integrity of the election system. We successfully defended the people’s right to an open Top 2 Primary system and have advocated for broader participation in our elections by people with disabilities, citizens whose understanding of English is limited, and those who serve in our military or live abroad. One of my favorite projects has been an annual tour of our college campuses to encourage our inspiring and talented young people. This work of reform and outreach never ends. Likewise, we are working together to champion civility in government and in our public dialogue, to promote civic engagement and civic education. This is the work of all of us. As I reminisce over the last 12 years, I am proud that we, together, saved the State Library, created the nation’s first Digital Archives, improved customer service at the Corporations and Charities Division, welcomed the Combined Fund Drive and Domestic Partnership Registry into our office, protected crime victims with our Address Confidentiality Program, created a Corporations for Communities Award program, championed heritage and oral history through a new Heritage Center, advocated for open and transparent government, and promoted international trade and friendship.

WCV works to elect candidates to public offi ce and, once elected, WCV holds them accountable to their voting records on environmental issues. Th is Scorecard is your tool to help hold your elected offi cials accountable. WCV, in conjunction with its legislative partner, the Washington Environmental Council, lobbied the State Legislature throughout the 2003-2004 legislative biennium on the environmental community’s legislative agenda. Our lobbyist, Cliff ord Traisman, contributed to victories on our priorities, including passage of the Mercury Reduction Act, restoration of funding for the Department of Ecology’s program to phase out toxic chemicals in the environment, protection of our old growth state forests, and protection of our shorelines. We also successfully defended the budgets of our state’s natural resource agencies from reductions. Th e 2003-2004 biennium demonstrated that the environmental community is able to achieve quantifi able environmental policy goals in the State Legislature; WCV is a proud contributor to this achievement. Th rough the process of identifying a select group of community priorities, our coordinated lobbying eff orts, and new communication tools like the Environmental Community Hot List, the environmental community is more organized and eff ective than ever.
