Just used my #democracyvouchers! Fun fact, democracy vouchers can now be used online! No need to actually physically mail them in! Go #Seattle!
Pivot table of the candidates running for Seattle Mayor using the Democracy Voucher Program Data found here: https://www.seattle.gov/democracyvoucher/program-data
The count of #democracyvouchers is from a super quick pivot table of the 5/15 data found on the DV program website.
The list of names comes from the City of Seattle website.
Seattle folks - if you haven't used your #democracyvouchers yet, my former co-worker #dionnefoster could use your support! Dionne is running for City Council and I am happy to endorse her candidacy! She knows how to bring people together and get things done.

Having seen the power of Democracy Vouchers firsthand, I was thrilled to be invited to testify in front of the Minnesota Senate today. We need to expand this model to create a more representative, fair, and equitable democracy. #democracyvouchers

A few weeks ago, I had the privilege and pleasure of discussing my new book on #DemocracyVouchers with Paris Jackson on @crosscut.com.web.brid.gy Cascade PBS! Luckily you can’t quite tell how nervous I was
Thank you @PaulKrekorian @CurrenDPriceJr @mhdcd8 for considering studying #DemocracyVouchers w/options for full public funding for #FairElections in Rules! And thanks to @nithyavraman @mhdcd8 @HugoforCD13 for leading on the motion & @LADemVouchers for leading the coalition!
