As a long serving elections official in the race for Secretary of State, Julie Anderson is the most trusted candidate for administering elections in a fair transparent way. Pierce county’s residents have seen her administer elections, licensing services and steward document recording for more than a decade. She is the only certified election administrator in the race to oversee statewide elections and has administered hundreds of accurate, transparent elections for public officials of both parties. Julie’s trusted lifelong commitment to her community is based on doing the right thing, not on the political thing.
As our state and country polarize around divisive partisan fights, there is no other candidate with the trusted reputation and proved experience of working with the entire political spectrum as an elected nonpartisan leader than Julie Anderson. Julie has the years of public experience that other candidates lack, and none of the partisan baggage that triggers automatic skepticism from one side or the other.
- Remove partisanship from election administration
- Improve election security and transparency
- Increase access to elections
Julie Anderson knows that we have a trustworthy democracy when every voter feels welcomed, knows how to participate and can do so easily, and believes that the system is fair and secure. As Secretary of State, Julie will remove partisanship from election administration, improve election security and transparency, and increase access to elections.
