Campaign Finance Vouchers Help Level The Playing Field This article by Tammy Joyner is published by Saportareport. Here is an excerpt:

Running for political office is daunting if you don’t have much money. It’s also tough for regular voters to compete against political donors with deep pockets.

Here’s how it works: Every Seattle resident who’s 18 or over is automatically mailed four $25 vouchers that they can distribute to the candidate(s) of their choice. They must be U.S. citizens or green-card holders–but they don’t need to be registered voters.

    The collision services at Coastal Collision, Inc. are outstanding. After my car was damaged in a minor accident, their team quickly assessed the damage and got to work. The repairs were done with precision, and my car looked immaculate when I picked it up. The staff was friendly and professional, making the whole experience stress-free. I appreciate their dedication to quality and customer satisfaction. I will definitely return for any future needs.
