Postmaster General Confirms Plan to Hold Back Mail Ballots Under Proposed Rule

Link to the article here.

Quote from the article:

>He was asked by Senator Gary Peters of Michigan, the committee’s top Democrat: “If a state refuses to turn their absentee voter list over to the federal government, will the Postal Service still mail their ballots under this proposal rule?”

>“Under our proposed regulation, no,” Mr. Steiner responded.

I'm in the middle of creating a statement about this for my campaign, but thought it prudent to post the story here as well. I'm contacting local groups about whether or not there are any planned actions surrounding this.

Note: There is a comment period for the proposed rule change, it ends July 2nd. If I have a second, I'll throw a link to that as well in the comments.

People’s Town Hall Candidate List Announced - Public Question Submissions Now Open

We're excited to announce the participating candidates for the People's Town Hall on Sunday, July 12 at Spokane Central Library.

The People's Town Hall is a nonpartisan community candidate forum bringing together candidates, community organizations, local media, and residents to discuss issues affecting our region and help voters make informed decisions ahead of the election.

One of the goals of this event is to make sure the discussion reflects the concerns of the community, and public question submissions are now open.

Questions may be submitted by anyone and can be directed toward:

• All candidates
• Congressional candidates
• Legislative candidates
• Specific candidates

Questions submitted by community organizations and members of the public will both be considered as we build the program. Similar questions may be combined, and not every submission will be asked, but every submission helps shape the discussion.

Questions can be submitted through the form below, through the People's Town Hall event listing at SpokanePeoplesCalendar.com, or through the "Help Shape the People's Town Hall - Submit a Question" link at the top of the calendar.

Question Submission Form:
https://tally.so/r/J9GgMR

The event will feature:
• Fourteen participating candidates from congressional and legislative races
• Questions sourced from community organizations and the public
• Live music by When She Dreams
• A live broadcast by KYRS Community Radio
• Food provided by Lilac Mutual Aid
• ASL interpretation
• Childcare

Event Details
Sunday, July 12

Doors Open: 12:00 PM
Live Music: 12:00 PM

Hosted by Spokane People's Calendar and other local organizations in partnership with Spokane Public Library and KYRS Community Radio.

We're committed to making the event as welcoming and accessible as possible. Additional information about food, accessibility, childcare, and other event details will be announced soon.

Whether you're interested in housing, healthcare, wages, democracy, public services, transportation, climate, education, or another issue entirely, we'd love to hear what questions you'd like candidates to address.

We hope you'll join us, submit a question, and help shape the conversation.
