Support Clean Energy – Vote Yes on I-1631
Friends,
In this year’s election, we have the opportunity to not only add clean jobs to our state, but to also propel our building stock and infrastructure into the future through an annual fund for clean energy projects that is estimated to reach $1 Billion by 2021. That means $1 Billion each year for conservation, efficiency, electric vehicles, solar and other renewables—the technology and development needed to grow our state in a clean and healthy manner. We urge you to vote yes on this initiative and to publicly endorse I-1631. And if you’d like to go a step further, the Yes on 1631 campaign could use your support to help get this passed:
- Join a door knocking event near you.
- Sign up for phone-banking or to text voters.
- Send an email through Voter Circle to your Washington contacts.
- Make a donation, which keeps the Yes on 1631 ads rolling.
Together we can enable a new and brighter future for efficiency. Thank you for your support!
