Leading to the Ballot
Initiative 1000, the ballot initiative that would allow terminally ill patients the choice to seek life-ending medication, officially qualified for the November ballot Thursday when Secretary of State Sam Reed’s office determined they had turned in more than the required 224,800 valid signatures from voters across the state.
“People all over Washington support death with dignity, and we’re building momentum daily. We’re going to go all the way,” said former governor Booth Gardner.
Gardner, who suffers from Parkinson’s Disease, has been the leading backer and a chief spokesman for the campaign so far.
