Future 42 is the public-facing arm of Project 42, a Washington state civic organization named for the 42nd state. It promotes citizen engagement through legislative scorecards, candidate recruitment, grassroots mobilization, and issue campaigns focused on lower taxes, public safety, limited government, and policies that help residents and businesses thrive. Local chapters work to turn frustration into constructive action and hold lawmakers accountable.
