  • ` 2019 Seattle Subway General Election Endorsements We're
    ` 2019 Seattle Subway General Election Endorsements We’re excited to announce our 2019 general election endorsements. It was great to see so many of the candidates we endorsed in the primary make it to the general election. Seattle Subway focuses on candidates who we feel will best represent environmental values and stand up for progress on transit and land use issues. To select candidates, we try to take in as much information as possible. Their resumes, voting records, performance in forums such as the MASS forums we co-hosted, and their responses to our candidate questionnaires. We reconsider our endorsements going into the general, endorsements are a process and we learn more about the candidates as the races progress. In the general election, we are expanding our endorsements to include key races across King County and initiatives at the state level. Unlike the primary, we will endorse in every city council race because one of the candidates will hold office and is, invariably, at least a little better than the other on the issues we care about. Our general election endorsements: State Initiatives Initiative 976: Limits on Motor Vehicle Taxes and Fees Vote No Sure, Tim Eyman is a thief and a fraud but his initiatives are also terrible. His latest attempt to defund transportation progress across Washington State would mean massive cuts to ST3 as well as voter approved projects across the state. Eyman doesn’t care how much damage he does to infrastructure in general if he can also do damage to transit expansion. It would be great if this was the last time we ever had to mention him.
