WSU Foley Institute to Co-Host Panel Debate on Washington's Three 2026 Ballot Initiatives
PULLMAN, Wash. — Washington State University's Foley Institute announced on Oct. 12 that it will co-sponsor a panel debate with Braver Angels on Washington's three 2026 general election ballot initiatives, giving voters a structured pro-and-con exchange before the Nov. 3 election.
The three measures are: Initiative IL26-001, on parents' rights regarding their children in public schools; Initiative IP26-645, on state and local taxes, which would repeal the 9.9% surcharge on annual individual income above $1 million; and Initiative IL26-638, on eligibility to participate in K-12 school athletics.
Panelists are chosen by the authors of the for-and-against arguments in the state's official voters' pamphlet. Braver Angels debates declare no winner; the structured format is designed to make each measure's content clear to voters. The debate will be held as an online webinar, and attendees can submit questions when registering and during the event.
