In 2023, Let’s Go Washington collected over 2.6 million signatures to qualify six initiatives for the Nov 2024 Ballot. The signatures represent broad, diverse support, with 57% of the signatures coming from Democrats and Independents.
This was a record setting historic feat (led by the grassroots) that had never been done before!
This helped Republicans take control of the 2024 Legislative Session, despite being the minority party - "The fact that the six common-sense citizen initiatives to the Legislature qualified with broad support across all demographics had a much bigger intimidation effect on the Speaker and the State Majority Leader than anybody expected,” said WAGOP Chair Walsh, the author, sponsor, and legislative force behind all six initiatives.
Then, too much surprise, in March 2024, the state legislature passed three of the initiatives, and all became law on June 5th, 2024:
I-2111 No state income tax
I-2113 Restoring reasonable police pursuit
I-2081 Parental notification
YES, because of Let’s Go WA and your hard work, we now have:
SOLIDIFIED WA STATE AS A NO INCOME TAX STATE!
REASONABLE POLICE PURSUIT!
AFFIRMED THAT PARENTS HAVE THE RIGHT TO KNOW WHAT THEIR CHILDREN ARE BEING TAUGHT IN SCHOOL!
