I look forward to an exciting primary election cycle! There's just one problem. I can't vote in the primary. Let's hope the new Council makes funding the balance of #Initiative83 a priority for FY27. #YESon83 #letmevote #letusvote #letindependentsvote
My husband (D) and I (unaffiliated) rec'd a 4-page Community Update 2025 mailer from @cmbrookepinto.bsky.social today. It looks phenomenal. I'd vote for her. π³οΈ #YESon83 π
As a former marcomm professional, kudos to her team for choosing a great data firm. It's tough to get this right. Great work! π
Okie dokie! I have a TON of old #YESon83 campaign posters. We can use the reverse side to create new posters. π
What a shame that the amendment @cmbrookepinto.bsky.social just offered to implement the semi-open primaries component of Initiative 83 did not pass. 73% of voters made their will known. Shame on those who voted no! #letindependentsvote #YESon83
On July 14, the Council voted to fund ranked choice voting. π We're halfway there. The DC Council must fully fund Initiative 83. Semi-open primaries will let DC's 84,000 independents vote in our taxpayer-funded primaries. Write or call your CMs this week. Demand their YES vote on July 28. #YESon83
Dear @councilofdc.bsky.social . Fund Initiative 83 or risk crashing the integrity of future elections in Washington DC. Donβt rig the next election by eliminating hard fought for election reforms approved by a super majority. #Yeson83 #fund83 #RankedChoice
I sure hope so. One thing we learned during the signature collection process for the #YESon83 campaign is that, when folks move in the District, a lot of them fail to update their addresses with the Board of Elections. π¬ The ability to vote at any precinct in town can be both a blessing and a curse.
Implementing Initiative 83 will cost just .007% of the FY26 budget. That is a rounding error. $1.5 million for the first 4 fiscal years, most of which equals initial, start-up costs. #YESon83
Here's the data ... we won with 72.81% of the vote. I believe we can safely call that a landslide!! We earned supermajority support across all wards in the city! #YESon83
Thanks to everyone who voted #YESon83 here in Washington, DC to let independents vote in primaries and implement ranked choice voting! We did it.
I hope this floats your boat. That's me! Voting on my own ballot initiative. #flipyourballot vote #YESon83 π
