SLIDE 1: Text on search bar image reads: Democracy Vouchers, why should I care?

SLIDE 2: The democracy voucher program was created in an effort to make City of Seattle elections more equitable and to reduce the influence of large donors in politics by giving small donors more access & leverage. People who cannot afford to donate to campaigns can now give a publicly funded contribution to the candidates of their choice.

SLIDE 3: In 2021, the positions for mayor, city attorney, and two city council at large city wide positions will be on the ballot. These people can determine the city budget, public funding, and future legislation and statutes. The decisions made in these positions matter to the API community, as well as communities we are in solidarity with.

SLIDE 4: Money is a significant factor in campaign success. When a campaign receives more funding, it can spend more money on outreach, resources and staff time. Candidates with more engagement are more successful than those with fewer donations and less engagement.

SLIDE 5: You’re going to receive them anyway, so use them! If you’re registered to vote and your address is in the city of Seattle, you will automatically be mailed 4 twenty-five dollar democracy vouchers in february 9th. Support the candidates who you want to represent you with no extra cost on your part.

SLIDE 6: The democracy voucher program is publicly funded via taxes. Properties affected include commercial, businesses and residential properties. The democracy voucher program costs the average homeowner about 8 dollars per year.
