In 2004, Laura served as the campaign manager for the successful No on I-892 campaign in Washington State. I-892 would have placed thousands of slot machines in neighborhood locations in exchange for a property tax cut. It was the first time that Washington voters rejected an opportunity to lower their taxes.
