Adam Smith has accepted documented donations from sectors with material interests in "Washington State 2024 ballot initiatives (I-2117 carbon pricing repeal, I-2109 capital gains tax repeal)" but has no public statement, vote, or hearing record on the topic. Expected position: As the highest-ranking Democratic House member from Washington, Smith would be expected to weigh in on the four major 2024 statewide ballot initiatives that sought to undo core Democratic legislative achievements on climate and tax policy. Evidence of activity on adjacent topics: In the two months before the election, Smith issued multiple statements on foreign policy, defense, and Boeing labor negotiations, but no press release, op-ed, or social media campaign addressing the four ballot initiatives that collectively represented the most significant statewide policy fight of the cycle. Gov. Jay Inslee and other Washington Democrats campaigned heavily against these measures. Primary URL: https://adamsmith.house.gov/media/press-releases Days silent: 65.
