We, the undersigned, support the enactment of Top Two Nonpartisan Primaries. Closed primaries serve the interests of the parties – not the people. Primary elections--which are taxpayer funded--should be open to all voters. Top Two Nonpartisan Primaries – which are now used in California and Washington – allow all voters to vote in the primaries for whichever candidate they want. Top Two Nonpartisan primaries put the power where it belongs—with the voters, not the political parties—and would help move politics in a positive direction.
