Exploratory Campaign
The Commons Party: Washington state's number one alternative party: progress, tradition, ecology.
Reform-minded, advocating a lower voting age & a non-interventionist foreign
policy.
Support Mark Greene for King Co. Director of Elections for competent and honest election administration (general: Nov., 2015). Mark Greene seeks to reform King County elections through predominately hand counts, and when machines are used, having hand recounts in randomly selected precincts to verify the optical scanning machine count and buying voting equipment from reputable American companies only. Mark also seeks to make it easier for candidates of all stripes to run for election.
Our proposal on proportional representation is based solely on voting numbers and nothing else. We would like to see that any candidate for the state legislature who does not win an election, but gets at least 5% of the vote in a primary or general election would be able to sit in an advisory council, in which the chairman & the deputy chairman of the council would get full seats in the legislature (the chairman in the state senate and the deputy chairman in the state house of representatives). This would of course require a constitutional amendment in all the various state constitutions. We also propose a similar advisory council on the federal level, with the chairpersons taking their seats in the Senate and the House of Representatives, respectively, and the requisite amendment to the federal constitution. Local councils could set up their advisory councils based on a similar format as well.
Volunteer petitioners and contributions are needed at this time for party purposes & Mark's Director of Elections campaign: brandnewelections.us. P.O. Box 612, Bellevue, WA 98009
Note: Mark Greene will not run for this office if he is elected U.S. Representative (WA/9th CD) in 2014.
