Bill Eigel:
No more machines; hand count ballots on election day
Require Ballot Counting by Hand: The 2020 election exposed numerous vulnerabilities in the election process, most notably with voting machines that are possibly vulnerable to unscrupulous special interests.
Bill Eigel supports requiring election authorities to hand count ballots on election day and maintain ballots in storage for five years after an election. NO MORE MACHINES controlling our elections.

JB McCuskey:
West Virginia has become most transparent state in America
McCuskey was elected West Virginia State Auditor in 2016 and is currently in the middle of his second term. Under McCuskey's leadership, West Virginia has become the most transparent state in America.
He has put systems into place that allow West Virginians to access real-time data about how their tax dollars are being spent and established a one-of-a-kind platform to track government spending, fraud, and abuse of taxpayer dollars.

Mark Mullet:
Make our permitting process more predictable and timelier
As the chair in the Senate of the State Construction budget, Mark has a front row seat to the challenges of getting a building permit in our state. Mark knows that we have to make our permitting process more predictable and timelier if we are going to
lower the cost of housing. Mark was proud to sponsor SB 5290, the first attempt our state has made to provide financial incentives to local cities and counties that speed up their permit times.

Michael Morgan:
There's an urgent need to protect our democratic principles
Democracy signifies power for the people, yet actions by the Republican-led supermajority General Assembly defy this principle. Voting--a cornerstone of democracy--has been compromised, thereby enabling restrictive practices amounting to
voter suppression. The surge in redistricting cases--74 filed in 27 states--illustrates the widespread challenges and the ongoing battle for fair representation. This situation underscores the urgent need for action to protect our democratic principles.

Mike fought against the federal takeover of elections
The right of Americans to cast their vote in fair and secure elections is essential to the survival of our Republic. Hoosiers must trust that our elections are free from fraud and guarantee that every legal vote is counted accurately.
As Senator, Mike fought against the federal takeover of elections and as Governor he will stand up to preserve and protect our electoral system from radical liberals in Washington, DC.

Bob Ferguson:
Secured the largest campaign finance penalty in history
Bob stood up to dark money and secured the largest campaign finance penalty of any kind in history against the Grocery Manufacturers Association, a group of multinational corporations that opposed
Washington's GMO initiative with a massive dark money campaign. Bob then won an even larger penalty against Facebook for its intentional violations of Washington's campaign finance law.

Make state government open, responsive, and inclusive
Government is there to serve, and listen to, the people. Yet our state government today only seems interested in serving themselves and listening to no one but themselves.
I'm running to make state government what it should be -- open, responsive, and inclusive -- where the power is wielded by you, the citizens.

Phil Lyman:
Seen his best friends killed due to federal overreach
As someone who has seen his best friends killed as a consequence of federal overreach and control of our public lands, it surprises me that our state hasn't done more to control the resources & lands within our borders.At best, we’re the #1 federally
managed colony in the nation. Between the directors of the Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Forest Service, two unelected administrative offices in Washington D.C. have more control over what happens on Utah land than the governor of our state.
None of the major policy decisions coming from Washington that impact Utah's lands suggest the existence of a good faith negotiating partner [seeking] to find consensus. As governor I would assert our coordination rights as a state on every federal land
policy change to ensure that every federal land management decision that hurts Utah is litigated to the full extent of the law. Like Wyoming, I would make sure we have a dedicated fund to ensure that every adverse federal decision is litigated.

Phil Lyman:
Get real about bona fide attacks on our elections
When it comes to our elections, the best course to achieving trust in the system is to have systems that are trustworthy, including risk-limiting measures performed by independent third parties who have access to the necessary data to issue even very
limited assurance to the public. We need to drop the rhetoric surrounding elections and get real about the bona fide attacks that our elections are under. P.S.--Zuckerbucks and the PEW Charitable Foundation will never give us the solution.

Peter Duval:
Voting is just the beginning of active citizenship
No process change or technofix can substitute for citizen participation in democracy. It takes effort, but voting is just the beginning of active citizenship, and citizenship requires education. To many, school has become job training
at the expense of education and democracy in education. "School" needs to continue expanding, innovating, and involving everyone in order for democracy to succeed.

Tradition of open primary voting needs exercise
Open primary voting is a Vermont tradition that needs exercise to be meaningful. With open primaries, the PeterForVermont.Earth fusion campaign seeks write-in votes--"Peter Duval" for Governor--
on all primary ballots. And for voters who care most about our environment, writing in "Peter Duval" for Governor on the Progressive Party ballot is an effective vote to keep Earth front and center in Vermont politics.
