What the League Thinks

Part of our mission is to offer nonpartisan information regarding Ballot Measures. See our Voter Information page for links to the Ballot Measures as they will appear on the ballot.

The other part of our mission is advocacy. When we all agree to support something we deem important, we as League supporters, agree to speak out on behalf of a ballot measure.


We are currently advocating for the passage of M117. We believe the passage of this measure will improve our elections by offering more diversity than political parties dominating our ballots and limiting our choices.
