Washingtonians are independent thinkers who are difficult to put into a box. I grew up in this area full of natural beauty and feel lucky to have attended our great schools with inspired teachers who taught me the value of a good education and of democracy. I love living here, and as a citizen of Clark County I take pride in my responsibility to vote for the choices that will both preserve and nurture my unique home. When I place my vote I want it to count, and that is why I want the option of ranked-choice voting available for all Washingtonians.
