Future 42 is the public-facing initiative of Project 42, a Washington state-based political advocacy organization that builds local chapters to influence state and county policy through legislative scorecards, candidate recruitment, grassroots mobilization, and issue campaigns promoting free-market and center-right policy goals.
Advocates for lower taxes and reduced regulations, stronger law-and-order/public-safety measures, limited government spending, opposition to carbon pricing/cap-and-invest policies, and resistance to certain labor and tenant protections; focuses on local and state legislative accountability and candidate development.
Primarily funded by private donors and philanthropic contributions; acts as a clearinghouse for donor funds to support affiliated projects and local chapters.
Project 42 (owner/parent initiative), Change Washington (affiliated groups), Dann Mead Smith (co-founder and leader), local chapter directors such as Leslie Lewallen and other county-level organizers; connections to center-right policy networks in Washington state.
