CAPR's blog

Posted 7/8/25 by Cindy Alia

From time to time a guest writer will be asked to provide an article for a blog post for the CAPR website.

CAPR does not endorse candidates, but we do rate them based on their opinions, records, and ability to offer pragmatic solutions to benefit life, liberty, and property rights.

This article is written by Logan Evans, candidate for Kent City Council, position 6.  I wanted to know what Logan thinks about private property rights and Logan kindly provided this description:

Hello All King Co. CAPR members,

We are in a critical time.  With the current climate, I think there is no better time than the present to re-invigorate this chapter, and really take things to the mat in things we need to challenge and make people aware of.  One of the top priorities we need to challenge is specifically property taxes.  For those that are not aware, property tax appeals/petitions must be postmarked by July 1^st of the assessment year, or within 60 days after the date of the value change notice.  Here is the website to look up your specific property tax appeal deadlines https://blue.kingcounty.gov/assessor/eappeals/RPLookup.aspx

The call for administrative law reform:

Washington State Statutes Reveal the Need for Administrative Law Reform in a hypothetical situation of a Ban on Gender Affirming Care as Determined in the Supreme Court’s 6-3 decision in United States v. Skrmetti, as well as in Current Statute in Washington State which Allow for Gender Affirming Care.

The Supreme Court’s 6-3 decision in United States v. Skrmetti (June 18, 2025) upheld Tennessee’s Senate Bill 1, which bans puberty blockers and hormone therapy for minors to treat gender dysphoria, while allowing these treatments for other medical conditions. Tennessee defended the law as protecting minors from unproven treatments with risks like fertility loss.

Where should justice stand?  Should it take a back seat to so called expediancy of administrative adjudication?  Where should the people carry the weight of decision making in any adjudication?

This open letter to acting King County Executive Shannon Braddock is to the point for the citizens of King County!

Dear Executive Shannon Braddock, 

I am writing as a deeply concerned Washington State resident and business owner in King County to formally object to your recent announcement that King County will be filing suit against the Trump administration over alleged unlawful conditions attached to previously approved federal grant funding.

With the passage into law, and Ferguson's signature, HB 1858 along with HB 1696 has created a costly special interests program with yet to be proven results.  Never let a good idea go to waste takes on new overtones.  The Covenant Homeownership Program has not yet yielded results, but has taken a lot of revenue from the pockets of Washingtonians.
