How $100 Per Voter Makes Seattle’s Elections More Inclusive — Amy Sundberg (2025)

Source: Original · Readwise highlight

Seattle is poised to continue its experiment in public campaign financing. In early August, voters renewed the city’s democracy vouchers program, which provides each adult Seattle resident with four $25 vouchers they can donate to local candidates of their choice.

• Role: subject
• In the article: The article is about Seattle’s democracy vouchers: voters renewed the levy that funds them, the number of donors rose sharply, and donors now skew younger and lower-income; critics point to low participation and rising outside money.
• Why it matters: The city is the whole subject, as the place running the experiment; the reference is to its politics rather than any site in it.
