Issue Position: Protecting Taxpayers

Issue Position

Mike has been a state leader in fighting for taxpayers and combatting government waste and fraud. He has returned millions to taxpayers from government waste. He opposes a state income tax and supports state legislation to cap county property tax rates. As The Seattle Times [read the full endorsement editorial here] has said:

"It's rare to hear a Democrat say there is waste and fraud in government. Pellicciotti does, knows where to find it and is credible when he says he'd help pass sharply written laws to root out further fraud. That background makes him a refreshing addition to the Legislature . . .

He opposes an income tax . . . [and] seems to have a genuine concern about the property-tax burden on struggling 30th Legislative District voters. As a result, he said he opposes lifting a cap on property taxes." - The Seattle Times Endorsement, 10/09/16
