Howard Schultz Skips Another Election

February 22, 2019 · 7:00 am ET · Leave a Comment

“Even after facing public criticism over his spotty voting record, Howard Schultz failed to vote in this month’s Seattle school-levy election,” the Seattle Times reports.

“King County Elections records show a postage-paid ballot for the Feb. 12 special election was mailed to the billionaire former Starbucks CEO and potential presidential candidate on Jan. 23, but never returned.”

“The no-show was in line with Schultz’s pattern of ignoring many elections over the decades, even while urging increased civic and political involvement by Americans.”
