As we approach the election, political ads and rhetoric increases exponentially. With major policy decisions on the line by way of the ballot initiatives that Washington voters will decide, it’s more important than ever to have access to cool, clear, and fact-based analysis of the issues.
WPC is proud to publish Citizens’ Guides to each of the four ballot initiatives. Each guide breaks down the background, the practical effects, and arguments on both sides of the issues. With high-quality citations and clear language, these are resources that will keep you informed without being bogged down with slogans or misrepresentations.
They can be found on the “Read” tab of our website under “Research” or linked below:
Citizens’ Guide to Initiative 2117 to repeal the Climate Commitment Act
Citizens’ Guide to Initiative 2124 to amend state law, making participation in WA Cares optional
