  • General Election November 7
    VOTERS’ PAMPHLET WASHINGTON STATE ELECTIONS GENERAL ELECTION NOVEMBER 7 YOUR BALLOT WILL BE MAILED BY OCTOBER 20 2017 (800) 448-4881 | vote.wa.gov OFFICIAL PUBLICATION 2 A message from Secretary of State Kim Wyman Welcome to your 2017 General Election Voters’ Pamphlet! This important election features local races and measures that could have a major impact on you and your community. Voter participation data in our state shows many people only vote in the presidential election every four years. But often the decisions made in a non-presidential election year like this are more likely to impact your daily life. Decisions made by local elected officials determine things like the time it takes first responders to get to an emergency, the maintenance of our roads, or the books our kids read in school. This year, voters will elect the officials who make these important decisions – mayors, city council members, school board directors, and fire and port commissioners. Voters will also determine the outcome of local measures and some Washington voters will vote on special legislative elections to fill unexpired terms. For the first time since the late 1980s, there are no initiatives or referenda on the statewide ballot. However, there are various tax advisory votes on the ballot and this pamphlet contains information about these advisory votes. You’ll find several pages inside designed to help you with voting and the election process. Remember, in order to vote in this election you must be registered to vote in our state. If you are not a registered voter and want to vote in this fall’s election, you have until October 30th to register at your county elections office.

  • 2020 State Legislative Elections Update and 2021 Session Context
    2020 State Legislative Elections Update and 2021 Session Context November 12, 2020 By Emily Murphy Strategies Budget Update: While the revenue forecast has improved since the most dire projections this Spring – shrinking the projected revenue shortfall from approximately $9 billion to now $2.7 billion for the 2021- 2023 biennium – by no means are we out of the woods. Due to the pandemic, state revenue collections are expected to fall nearly $4 billion short of the amount needed to sustain existing commitments to schools, health care, child care, and other essential investments for the next three years1. Revenue experts are also quick to note they are not epidemiologists, and there is no precedent in the modern era to account for a global pandemic on the economic forecasts, especially as we experience spikes in new COVID cases in the winter months, and some nations enter more restrictive lockdowns. The Office of Financial Management projects an estimated $2.4 billion in the Budget Stabilization Account (“Rainy Day Fund”) over the next 3 years. In June, the Office of Financial Management directed state agencies to propose 15% cuts as part of their budget reduction exercise, which amounted to nearly $2 billion in proposed cuts and elimination to services impacting hundreds of thousands of Washingtonians, ranging from maternity support, hospice care, nursing homes, higher education, early learning, housing, and many other programs. While state agencies and lawmakers are clear the budget reduction exercise was simply an exercise (cuts take an act of the legislature), it is a testament to the severity of the economic realities facing our state.

    Legislative Building Washington State Legislature Olympia, WA 98504-0600 January 25, 2021 The Honorable Governor Inslee PO Box 40002 Olympia, WA 98504 Dear Governor Inslee, We thank you for your service to our State. For the constituents and citizens of Pierce County, the passage of the Connecting Washington package offered the promise of accomplishing a 40-year dream—the completion of State Route 167. Yet, weeks before a key stage of the project was to go out to bid, you unilaterally decided to freeze it. We are writing to express our extreme disappointment and frustration with what we believe to be a short-sighted decision. We are confident you are fully aware that the Puget Sound Gateway package was the keystone project in Connecting Washington, drawing support for the overall package from over 165 business, labor, agriculture, maritime, and local government organizations from around the state. They all recognized the central importance this project plays in supporting the competitiveness of our ports and their labor partners, growers, shippers, and manufacturers who seek access to the global marketplace. In fact, you led the cutting of the ribbon to start this project. Delaying it threatens the state’s economic recovery, serves as a complete disregard to that coalition of project advocates, and does a disservice to all the working families that will benefit from this project. We are very disappointed in your decision. The last year has highlighted the importance of a well-functioning supply chain. While there has been a reduction in transportation revenue across many categories of funding because of remote work and social distancing, diesel tax revenue has remained relatively stable.

  • General Election November3
    VOTERS’ PAMPHLET Washington State Elections & Cowlitz County General Election November 3 2020 2020 Official Publication Ballots mailed to voters by October 16 (800) 448-4881 | sos.wa.gov 2 A message from Assistant Secretary of State Mark Neary On behalf of the Office of the Secretary of State, I am pleased to present the 2020 General Election Voters’ Pamphlet. We offer this comprehensive guide as a reference to help you find information on the candidates and statewide measures that appear on your ballot. This general election gives you the opportunity to have a say in our government at the local, state, and national levels, and to choose who will serve as our nation’s next president. In order to have your voice heard, you must be registered to vote. Voter registration forms that are mailed or completed online must be received by October 26, and we encourage you to check your registration information today at VoteWA.gov. If you are reading this message after October 26 and you are not registered, have moved since the last time you voted, or did not receive a ballot, you can go to your local elections office or voting center during regular business hours through 8 p.m. on Election Day to register to vote and receive a ballot. Once you have completed your ballot, you can send it via U.S. mail — no postage needed — but remember, all ballots must be postmarked by November 3. A late postmark could disqualify your ballot. The USPS recommends that you mail a week before Election Day.
