With just a few races still to be determined, it’s interesting to see the impact of NMTA’s Political Action Committee. Here’s a quick overview of the $22,000 and 48 races where we made financial contributions:
-Protecting our allies: NMTA is excited to have our friends re-elected to the Senate and House of Representatives, including (boater) Rep. Judy Clibborn (Mercer Island), Rep. Troy Kelley (Lakewood) and Sens. Tim Sheldon (Mason Country) and Derek Kilmer (Gig Harbor)
-Playing in open seats: We targeted several key open seats where the incumbents retired. In particular, we welcome Sens-elect Doug Ericksen (Blaine) and Rep.-elect Ann Rivers (Lewis County).
-Smiting our opponents: Thanks to your contributions, Election Day was very good to our industry. Specifically, we replaced foes with leaders who have an affinity to our issues. This partial list includes freshly-minted members Sens.-elect Joe Fain (Kent), Michael Baumgartner (Spokane) and Andy Hill (Kirkland).
If the current results hold, NMTA would have an 86% win-rate in the Senate and an 80%win-rate in the House. Additionally, the income tax initiative that would severely impact our members was soundly defeated.
The next leg of work here is in the hands of NMTA’s Government Affairs Committee, which meets on the first Thursday of every month at 10:00 am at NMTA’s office. As members, you are always welcome to attend.
