Restore Voter Choice with King County Initiative 26!

Thank you for visiting Citizens for Independent Government at www.bettercounty.org.
Local government should be about service, elections should be about choice.
CIG's Initiative 26 gives voters both.

King County Initiative 26 would make the offices of King County Executive, King County Assessor, and King County Council Non-partisan. This allows voters to choose between all candidates in the primary without having to "pick-a-party," while making county government accountable to the people, not political parties.

UPDATE:  On Tuesday, April 1, Citizens for Independent Government submitted over 80,000 signatures to the King County Clerk.  Read of press release here.
