The second Monday in October is an opportunity to honor our Tribal Nations and to give thanks for our blessings with not one, but two holidays.

The latest improvements make it easier for voters to compare candidates, explore independent reporting, evaluate qualifications, and follow campaign fundraising as ballots reach voters across the Evergreen State.

The beloved quiz show host is putting voters’ knowledge to the test in a new ad highlighting 645’s tax giveaway to the wealthy and the loss of funding it would cause to the state's K-12 public schools.

As he struggles to attract donors for his latest tax repeal campaign, Heywood is blaming his political opponents for a reputation built on extreme initiatives, resounding defeats, and disdain for Washington’s values.

Washington’s four-year budget framework requires lawmakers to plan for future tax collections, and repealing an enacted revenue source would have real, devastating consequences for public education, healthcare, and other essential services.

More than 337,000 Washington voters have already returned their ballots, putting early participation ahead of the last two midterms, with Jefferson County leading and King County lagging.

NPI’s newest survey of Washington's 3rd Congressional District finds the Democratic incumbent and her Republican challenger neck and neck once more despite an avalanche of ad spending, with corruption and high prices topping voters’ concerns, and with Donald Trump viewed very unfavorably by a majority of voters.

The Republican councilmember sees a narrow defeat looming for Initiative 645 and blames Microsoft’s neutrality for what he suspects will be an agonizing loss for the right wing. But Brian Heywood’s gamble could deliver something far more consequential: the first vote in nearly one hundred years in favor of an income tax in Washington State.

Premier David Eby’s gamble on a snap election has cost the New Democrats their majority in the Legislative Assembly after a nearly a decade of power, handing British Columbia’s government to Lorne Doerkson’s Conservatives.

New polling affirms that a majority of Washington voters are poised to reject Initiative 645, putting Brian Heywood’s repeal campaign at risk of delivering a historic victory for progressive tax reform. The latest findings echo earlier NPI research and suggest voters could uphold the million dollar earners tax despite the right wing's desperate efforts to portray it as a tax everyone would eventually pay.
