Local Voters' Pamphlet Primary Local Voters’ Pamphlet – August 7, 2018 Dear Voter: This year we are happy to tell you of three changes we think will make voting even easier for you. 1: The Pamphlet is mailed earlier: Around July 20, 2018, you should receive your ballot for the August 7 Primary. We mailed this Local Voters’ Pamphlet in advance of that date to give you time to read the candidate statements well before you vote. That extra time is especially important during the summer months, when many of us have travel plans. 2: Convenient locations: We now have ballot drop boxes in every corner of the county. Ballot drop boxes allow voters to easily return ballots in secure locations dedicated to elections. Ballots are retrieved by elections workers hired by the county and returned directly to the Auditor’s Office. This year we will have 22 drop boxes, an increase of 15 in just three years. To find the location closest to you, refer to the list on page 3 of this pamphlet. 3: Free postage: If you prefer mailing your ballot, this year you don’t have to put a stamp on the envelope. Thanks to funding provided by the state for this year’s elections, voters in all 39 counties will be able to return their ballots without paying for postage. Because Washington is a Top 2 Primary state, your vote will help decide which two candidates in each race will appear on the November ballot. In addition to the 29 candidates for U.S. Senate, there are primary races for the U.S. House of Representatives, State Legislature, County Offices and the Kitsap County Public Utility District. Your vote has a lot of influence, especially on local races. Thank you for making Kitsap County a great place to live and work!

As you consider any additional COVID-19 economic relief packages, we, the undersigned elected leaders of Washington State, write to respectfully request significant investments in and attention to the challenges facing child care. Here in Washington State and across the country, the child care industry is providing critical services enabling medical professionals, first responders, and other essential workers to provide for communities in our time of greatest need. And yet, the infrastructure of this critical system is crumbling in front of us and threatening our ability to recover from COVID-19 now and in the future. According to Child Care Aware of Washington, our state has already lost 143 child care centers, 105 family child care homes, and 19 school-age-only child care programs to COVID-19 related closures -- totaling a loss of 12,000 child care slots.

  • Policy Brief
    POLICY BRIEF Citizen’s Guide to Sound Transit 3: to increase sales, property and motor-vehicle excise taxes for expansion of regional light rail Mariya Frost Policy Analyst, Coles Center for Transportation October 2016 Key Findings • Sound Transit 3 (ST3) is a $54 billion-dollar ballot proposal that would increase the taxes residents pay to the Sound Transit Agency by $300 to $400 per average household per year, or upwards of $20,000 or more over 25 years. • In addition to new taxes, the ST3 proposal includes the continuation of taxes enacted in 1996 (Sound Move/ST1) and 2008 (Sound Transit 2/ST2), totaling $8.621 billion. This is roughly the size of King County’s $9 billion budget, and represents 16 percent of ST3 funding sources. • According to the Puget Sound Regional Council, of the 19 million daily trips expected to be taken in the region by 2040, less than one percent would be taken on light rail. The bulk of ST3 funding (over 60 percent) would be spent to build additional light rail. • Allowing for Sound Transit’s most optimistic ridership projection of 695,000 daily boardings by new and existing riders on all of Sound Transit’s services with ST3 (light rail, commuter rail, bus rapid transit, and express bus), the agency would serve barely four percent of daily trips expected to be taken in the region by 2040. • A little over six percent of the projected one million people that planners expect to move to the region are forecast to become new regular transit riders if ST3 is passed.
