Dear Remember Lakewood Supporter,
Because of your support and hard work, ESHJR 4220 passed with over 85% of the vote! When the election results are certified this month, the Lakewood Law Enforcement Memorial Act ("Remember Lakewood" amendment) will formally amend the state Constitution to provide judges the ability to protect the public from violent offenders by the option of denying bail. This is such a historic victory for public safety reform - everyone should be proud to have been a part of this campaign.
So many thank yous are neccessary. State Representatives Mike Hope and Chris Hurst must be recognized for fighting for this legislation in Olympia, without their efforts, ESHJR 4220 would not have made it to the ballot. As state leaders, Governor Gregoire and Attorney General McKenna have been strong, vocal advocates of the measure throughout the entire process. The individuals listed on the left came together to organize a campaign effort that garnered the endorsement of every major public safety organization and nearly all county sheriffs and prosecutors across the state.
Every individual supporter of the amendment did their part informing friends and family and other voters of how important ESHJR 4220 is to public safety and preventing future tragedies. Remember Lakewood has over 1,550 supporters on Facebook and hundreds of individuals expressed their support on rememberlakewood.com.
Most importantly, you got the Lakewood story out to every corner of our state and made a persuasive case for the ESHJR 4220 reform to over 1.5 million voters. Constitutional amendments are rare, and by fighting successfully for 4220, you've made history. In this case, making history means creating a safer future for all Washington families and law enforcement officers.
Be proud of what you've been a part of this year. We plan to organize a celebration at the time the election results are certified - a commemoration of these efforts and of the Lakewood heroes. Keep an eye out for details in the near future.
Thank you again and God bless!
Sincerely,
Reagan
Reagan Dunn
Executive Director
