the fair chance amendment
the october 11th ballot
When you go vote, you’ll see a long list: Sheriff, Clerk of Criminal Court, Assessor, Mayor, City Council…
And then—all the way at the bottom—you’ll see the Fair Chance Amendment, the only amendment on the ballot this year.
It’s last on the ballot — many voters never make it all the way down. Don’t stop short.
It’s the only amendment — and it’s about protecting people from lifelong punishment.
It’s about fairness — because everyone deserves the chance to live, work, and thrive without being defined forever by a past conviction.

Sheriff (#1-6)
Clerk - Criminal District Court (#7-9)

“I haven’t been in trouble in 37 years and this came along… there’s places that are just not gonna hire you. It’s not gonna stop me because people who know me and see me know I’m a good person but the system’s not right.”
