Ann Diamond, one of the nineteen independent candidates endorsed by Unite America (formerly the Centrist Project), has qualified for the November ballot in Washington state. In order to do that, she had to place first or second in the Washington primary held August 7. She received 29% in the State Representative race, 12th district, in central Washington. There is no incumbent. A Republican placed first with 45% of the vote. See this story.
The California Assembly passed AB 1947 on April 30, 2018. It outlaws paying circulators on a per-signature basis. But it has not yet cleared the Senate Appropriations Committee, and it is not on the agenda for that committee’s next meeting, which is on August 13. The California legislature will adjourn at the end of August.
