These committees prepare statements either in favor of or in opposition to the ballot measure. These statements are published in the local voters’ pamphlet, and help voters make informed decisions.

The following measures have appointed pro committees, but no one has come forward yet to join a con committee:

Auburn School District No. 408, Proposition No. 1
South King Fire, Proposition No. 1
Valley Regional Fire Authority, Proposition No. 1
