Money shouldn’t decide who runs for office or who gets heard. Vote YES on #Prop1Seattle by August 5.

Seattle’s Democracy Voucher Program has helped reduce the influence of big money in politics. It’s encouraged more women, renters, and candidates of color to run — and win.

Seattle’s Democracy Voucher Program has transformed local elections. Since it launched, small-donor participation has increased fivefold — especially among renters, young people, and communities of color. That’s real progress. Let’s keep it going. Vote YES on #Prop1Seattle by August 5.

Cinthia on why she's voting @yesonprop1seattle.bsky.social: "A typical campaign ten years ago had candidates sitting in their campaign office making cold calls to a rolodex of wealthy donors. Now, we see them out at farmers markets, rallies... talking to us." www.realchangenews.org/news/2025/07...
