AG Brown 39 county prosecutors and more than 250 municipal attorneys offering the office’s assistance in protecting the rights of Washingtonians to organize politically through the initiative and referendum process.

“We should not tolerate illegal actions that threaten to disrupt Washington’s democratic process. Threats, intimidation, and violence have no place in our political process. In signature gathering cases, like other criminal cases, the AG’s office can’t bring a case without a referral from a local prosecutor. This letter is a reminder that we are here to help and assist local prosecutors in these cases.” -AG Brown
