CAPR General Election Ratings
Most of us have received or soon will receive our ballots for the general election. While the mail in ballot experience is not what many would consider optimal, we face the leap of faith voting experience we survived in 2020. We do know there have been teams of dedicated people working to make this election more representative of what we believe it should be. That said your vote is as important as it has ever been and we encourage all to get their completed ballot in. It is worth noting there is a statewide race of importance, Secretary of State, where CAPR has rated three candidates including the write in candidate Brad Klippert, running against Steve Hobbs, and Julie Anderson. They have been rated respectively according to their records and actions as related to property rights, with Brad Klippert receiving the highest rating among the three.

CAPR Ratings for 2022 Primary Candidates
By Cindy Alia, July 15, 2022
This posting has been updated on July 27th to reflect CAPR's reconsideration of the rating for Chad Magendanz, which has been upgraded and restored to outstanding. This consideration resulted from a review of Chad Magendanz and his history of defending property rights, and his strength on CAPR Property Rights Issues. In addition, Chad's responsiveness to CAPR concerns regarding other foundational bill of rights issues has led us to rate him Outstanding.
You should have gotten your ballot in the mail today! Please be sure to vote in the Primary Election, the two candidates with the most votes will be listed on the General Election come November!

Please do not think if you missed a hearing date or time that you cannot fight a bill, it is never too late to fight. You can always call or email any legislature, including your own or bill sponsors, with your opinion, opposition, or support of a bill. Every voice helps inform our legislators!
1099 Improving the state's climate response through updates to the state's comprehensive planning framework.
CAPR Opposes HB 1838 Protecting, restoring, and maintaining habitat for salmon recovery.
CAPR has provided this testimony and comment on HB 1838 which if appropriately titled would read "Establishing takings and ruining private property rights and farming in Washington State"
Citizens’ Alliance for Property Rights members from both the west and east sides of the state adamantly and absolutely oppose 1838 and its companions in the Senate 5727 and 5665.
The bills should be sidelined and stopped even though the governor has requested them. Explaining all that is wrong with this proposed legislation would take far more than a minute or 2.
House Democrats Ban Representatives and Constituents from the Capitol!
By Cindy Alia 12/1/21
By now you have probably heard in the news about unvaccinated Representatives and Constituents being barred or banned from the capitol which threatens the foundational “separate but equal” concept of our three branches of government through direct representation and through directed citizen involvement in person at the public forum of the capitol. This ban is not law, but has been created as a House Rule by the House Rules Committee. However, in our current governmental 21 month emergency declarative state little notice is paid attention to the differences between law and policy.
