I Support Honest Elections Seattle to Fight Citizens United!
The Northwest has led on marriage equality, marijuana legalization, and raising the minimum wage. Now we can lead the nation again by retaking our democracy from big money. Take a stand against Citizens United by endorsing Honest Elections Seattle!
Why is this important?
Initiative-122, Honest Elections Seattle, will amplify the voices of ordinary people and protect Seattle’s government and elections from the corrupting influence of big money. It would implement strong contribution limits and total spending caps for city elections. Honest Elections Seattle also features an innovative public financing system for all city offices – including mayor, city attorney, and at-large and district city council people to restore the power of small donors in elections. Together, these reforms will limit the corrosive impacts of big money in politics and ensure our elections aren’t controlled by a narrow set of wealthy people.
