WA voters should know what’s at stake if I-645 passes. Repealing the Millionaires Tax would mean less funding for public schools, health care, and small businesses. More than half say they would vote no. This Nov., vote NO on I-645.

John Braun wants WA CD-3 voters to see a different kind of Republican. But with Trump’s endorsement, he won’t be different from any other Trump loyalist. As one voter put it: “He’s got Trump’s endorsement. That’s enough to say no for me.” His priorities lie with Trump. Not with Washingtonians.

Not now. Not ever. WA won’t give voters’ private information to the Trump-Vance admin’s flawed SAVE database. WA already has an effective and secure way to maintain its voter rolls. We don’t need a system that has wrongly flagged eligible voters as noncitizens and retains personal data for years.

Health insurance is already expensive. And because of Trump and the WA GOP, it’s going to get more expensive in 2027. Doesn’t matter if you get coverage through work, the ACA, or Medicare. Higher premiums, deductibles, and copay on top of everything that’s already expensive.
