Olympia Voter-Owned Elections
Informational/Organizing Meeting
7pm, Wednesday July 2
Traditions Cafe
300 5th Ave SW Olympia

Adopting a system of "Voter-Owned Elections" will:

  • Eliminate financial barriers to running for local office for persons demonstrating community support
  • Expand voters' choice of candidates
  • Allow candidates to focus on public issues instead of fundraising
  • Discourage excessive campaign spending
With the recent passage of the "Local Option" bill, public financing of local elections is possible once again in Washington State! Talk has started in the Olympia area of bringing "Voter-Owned Elections" here.

Join Us This July On The First THURSDAY Rather Than Friday!

We don't want to steal you away from your BBQ on the 4th, so we decided to move it up a day.
So, join is on Thursday evening for some cool downtown evening shopping and dining.

• einmaleins and Chris Hyde invite you to discover the amazing world of knives.
Pocket Knives we’ve had since we were Kids, Kitchen Knives we care about since the Food Network and we might even be able to distinguish between a Santuko and a Chefs Knife.
But, what is a Mushroom Knife? Or what are the benefits of carbon steel over stainless…?
Get answers to this and experience more at einmaleins.
As usual we will provide the obligatory refreshments and will have some band-aids ready - just in case.
