Issue Position: Protecting Democracy

Issue Position

Our democracy is under attack both across the world and here at home, and it is the duty of our government to protect access to voting, free and open elections, and a transparent government. We are strongest as a city, as a state, and as a nation when all people have equal opportunity to make their voices heard.

Voter Access
Voting is the most fundamental of rights under our democracy. That's why Noel has proudly worked with her fellow Democrats to pass the Access to Democracy package, a set of legislation aimed at making it easier than ever to register to vote and make your voice heard.

Internet Access & Privacy
In the booming expansion of social media platforms and new technologies, we must stand up to protect the privacy and equitable access of people engaged with these systems. Thanks to House and Senate Democrats, Washington is currently the only state in the entire country that has state-wide, ironclad protections for net neutrality.

Campaign Finance
The presence of money has, for too long, influenced our electoral politics. A corrupt campaign finance system drowns out the voices of everyday people for the voices of the powerful few. We must get corporate money out of politics and re-establish reasonable limits on donations from private businesses, religious organizations and special interest groups.
