Benton County Democratic Central Committee

Friend,

Mega-millionaire Brian Heywood is spending big on ads that mislead Washingtonians about I-2109, claiming it would repeal “the backdoor income tax.”

What?

Here’s the truth: I-2109 would repeal the capital gains tax, a tax on extreme Wall Street profits that 99.8% of Washingtonians will never have to pay. This tax provides vital funding for education and childcare in our state – funding we can’t afford to lose.

We’re coming up on our final end-of-month fundraising deadline, and we need your help to fight Heywood’s lies. Chip in now to help us spread the word, defeat I-2109, and preserve our state’s investments in children and families.

We’re only 11 days away from the election. Washingtonians need to know what’s happening: A mega-millionaire is spending millions of dollars to try to overturn our state’s capital gains tax, all so he and his rich friends can avoid paying the taxes they owe.

When Washingtonians hear the truth about I-2109, they’re against it. But if Heywood’s misleading ads reach enough voters, and those voters vote yes, Washington state will lose billions of dollars in funding for schools, childcare, early learning, and more. We can’t afford that.

With the election underway, we need as much grassroots support as we can get. Chip in now so we can defeat I-2109 and preserve essential funding for Washington’s schools and childcare.

Together, we will defeat I-2109 and make sure that mega-millionaires like Brian Heywood pay what they owe.

Thank you for your support,

Samantha Casne
