Citizens in Charge

Last week, I traveled to Pierce County, Washington, to take part in an event entitled “The Fight for Democracy in Pierce County,” which was held at the University of Puget Sound. The forum was set up by folks with No Rigging the System, a group campaigning to defeat three measures on the county ballot this November 3rd.

The three measures would (1) weaken the county’s term limits, (2) move elections to off years when fewer voters turnout, and (3) repeal Ranked Choice Voting (more commonly called Instant Runoff Voting), which I believe offers voters a more meaningful choice. You can see several video snippets of my talk as well as others against these incumbent-protection propositions here.

My opposition to Measures 1, 2 and 3 is strictly personal – please note that Citizens in Charge Foundation and Citizens in Charge take no position on these measures and did not pay for my travel to Washington state.
