2025 Vancouver City and Clark Council Council Scorecards

Future 42 Clark County is a local county project dedicated to advocating for key issues such as public safety, housing affordability, and tax relief. We are a grassroots effort mobilizing Clark County residents to make their voices heard at the local level. We have recently completed our first annual set of local scorecards highlighting key votes taken by Clark County and Vancouver City Councilmembers in 2025. 

This past year in Vancouver, Washington featured a series of consequential City Council decisions on taxes and fees, public safety funding, housing and homelessness programs, regulatory requirements, ethics enforcement, and voter-driven initiatives. Several of these votes — including actions on ballot measures, rental registration rules, police levy support, shelter funding, and downtown parking changes — drew strong public interest and debate about affordability, accountability, and the role of voter input in city policymaking. Taken together, these decisions provide a useful snapshot of how the Council approached governance and local priorities in 2025.

In 2025, the Clark County Council took major actions on housing, taxes, land use, and regional transit, including approving a five-year “housing-first” plan to address homelessness, raising property taxes, funding an agricultural lands study, supporting light rail despite prior voter rejection, and a vote that triggered an Open Public Meetings Act investigation.
