Complaint Description File a Formal Complaint - Fletcher Sandbeck Fletcher reported (Sat, 20 Oct at 4:49 PM) The attached flier suggests writing in the name rather than voting for Democrat Connie Fitzpatrick in the 2018 election. It states that various groups including AFT, FUSE, Planned Parenthood, and the AFL-CIO have endorsed Nathan Schlicher.

However, this is not true. I have included captures of web pages from each of those groups which show that they have either endorsed Connie Fitzpatrick or, in the case of AFT, have not endorsed any candidate in the 26th district this year.

What impact does the alleged violation(s) have on the public? It gives the public a deceptive view of the endorsements of several groups. Three of the listed groups have in fact endorsed Connie Fitzpatrick but the flier states that they have instead endorsed a write-in candidate Nathan Schlicher. List of attached evidence or contact information where evidence may be found. Deceptive Flier.pdf - A scan of the flier I received.

Initiative #1631

Vote YES for Jobs and Clean Energy 40 Like Initiative 1631 is our best opportunity to accelerate clean energy solutions and build healthier communities for everyone in Washington.

This initiative will charge our state’s largest corporate polluters a fee that will be used to create local jobs by investing in clean energy, healthy forests, and clean water. I-1631 is essential to pass a clean and healthy Washington on to future generations. It will create 40,000 jobs by investing in water and forestry projects, energy eciency, and clean transportation. These investments are a practical rst step to ensure clean air and clean water for everyone in Washington. These will look dierent in every community, from energy eciency upgrades for our homes and businesses to keeping our forests healthy so they clean our air and investing in cleaner transportation options for more communities.

The oil industry is spending tens of millions of dollars to confuse voters about I-1631 so they can continue polluting for free and raking in record prots. We can't wait any longer to act. Vote YES on I-1631.

Initiative #1634

Vote NO on I-1634 Initiative 1634 would prevent cities and counties in Washington from passing new taxes on sugary beverages. Such taxes are aimed at 27 discouraging people from buying sweetened drinks that have been linked to type 2 diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, and tooth Like decay.

I-1634 is backed primarily by millions of dollars from a handful of big soda companies. It also has support from some labor unions that represent workers whose jobs could be impacted by soda taxes. The campaign’s highly deceptive ads focus on grocery taxes despite the fact that groceries have been exempt from sales taxes since 1977.

Progressive advocates oppose eorts like this to use state laws to prevent localities from taking action that’s right for their communities. In recent years, Republican legislators have sought to use similar legislation to reverse ’s $15 minimum wage and progressive paid sick leave laws in Tacoma and Spokane.

We’re sympathetic to the concerns of union workers in the beverage industry and we agree that our tax system is upside-down and disproportionately hurts low-income families. However, we don’t think that preempting local legislation that taxes sugary drinks is the way to x it.

Don’t be fooled by Big Soda’s misleading ads. Vote NO on I-1634.

Initiative #1639

Vote YES to Reduce Gun Violence 36 Like Initiative 1639 is the most comprehensive gun violence prevention measure put forward in Washington state history. It's a commonsense initiative that will reduce gun violence and keep our schools and communities safe. I-1639 would raise the age to purchase semi-automatic assault ries from 18 to 21 and require enhanced background checks and safety training for purchasing these particularly lethal weapons. It will also incentivize secure storage of all rearms by holding gun owners accountable if a child or other legally prohibited person uses their weapon to harm themselves or someone else.

Someone is killed with a gun in Washington state every 14 hours and more than 200,000 students have experienced gun violence at school since Columbine. Unfortunately, the gun lobby has prevented our elected ocials from acting to prevent it, so we'll do it ourselves. Vote YES on I-1639 to keep our schools and communities safe.

Initiative #940

Vote YES for Police Accountability 33 Like The people of Washington have proudly led the nation on many progressive policy reforms, yet we have the most regressive laws in the country when it comes to police accountability.

We have an opportunity and a responsibility to bring our state’s accountability laws into the 21st century by supporting Initiative 940. This long overdue law would modernize our state’s policing rules, increase law enforcement training, and require ocers to provide rst aid at the scene of a crime. Most importantly, I-940 updates our state’s deadly force laws to remove the “malice” provision that provides near- immunity for law enforcement.

Vote YES on I-940 to rebuild the public’s trust in law enforcement and create a safer state for all of us.

Statewide Advisory Ballot Measure #19

Maintain Funding for Oil Spill Prevention 31 Like A bipartisan group of legislators passed Engrossed Second Substitute Senate Bill 6269 to fund oil spill prevention and cleanup. The legislation directs the Department of Ecology to improve prevention for oil spills in Puget Sound, as well as around oil reneries, railroads, and pipelines. This bill was funded by a $0.05 tax per 42-gallon barrel of oil used by boats and marine terminals.

Because of a initiative the Legislature is required to submit any bill it passes that closes tax loopholes or raises revenue to a non- binding advisory vote. Vote MAINTAINED on Advisory Vote 19.

State Representative, Position #2

Joy Stanford 2 Democrat Like Democrat Joy Stanford is a substitute teacher in the Peninsula School District. As a former health care professional, she cites her work helping underserved and elderly populations gain access to the care they need as part of her political experience. Her campaign is prioritizing infrastructure projects, leveraging her education experience to support students, expanding technical and vocational training, and ensuring health care access for all.

Stanford is challenging Republican Rep. for the 26th Legislative District House Position 2. Rep. Caldier deserves credit for voting for a gun safety bill and for standing up for sexual assault survivors. However, Rep. Caldier has also voted against automatic voter registration, which makes it easier for eligible citizens to vote, and she voted against legislation to expand access to reproductive health care.

Stanford is the best choice in this race.
