Income Tax Initiative Update!! Everybody hates the Income tax
-As we mentioned earlier we gathered 92,780 signatures in the first week
-But the make up of those signers is interesting.
-We ran a voter ID model on all the signers so far
And the model tells us
49.64% are Dems/Indep
50.24% are Republican
-However, 27,655 of those 92K signers have never signed even one of our other initiatives in any prior year
- The party make of new signers is as follows:
Republican 36.49%
Independent 33.21%
Democrat 30.29%
64% of those who have never signed an initiative but did sign IP26-645 to stop the income tax , so far, are either Democrat or Independent.
This is not a partisan issue
-People understand the tax is coming for them.
-They don’t trust Olympia to spend the money wisely, and
-they seem to be really pissed about the unconstitutional approach taken by Jamie Pedersen and Bob Ferguson
Make your voice heard join us and help us beat the state record of 699K signatures

The King County Regional Homelessness Authority (KCRHA) is officially being dissolved.
All it took was:
❌$533 Million dollars in taxpayer funds
❌$44 Million in the red
❌$13 Million simply gone, unaccounted for
❌5 CEO's
❌5 years of continued failures
❌A registered sex offender board member nominee
❌Missed payments to service providers
❌A $12 BILLION request for funds
❌Accusations of retaliation against staff
And finally...
❌A nearly 50% increase in homelessness
