New Jersey Likes These Clean Elections--How About WA?

Borrowed in its entirety from Public Campaign Action Fund:

"Things are looking very good for the New Jersey Clean Elections pilot program.  A high rate of participation in the three eligible districts (15 of 20 candidates have opted in), coupled with good press coverage, support from the governor, and positive feedback from the candidates signals the potential to not only continue the pilot program, but expand it to more districts and eventually take Clean Elections statewide. "With the positive results already being achieved by this year's program, what once was thought of as a lofty goal is coming closer to becoming a historic reality," said leading supporter Assembly Speaker Joseph Roberts Jr. (D). A lot of props should go to our [PCAF] state partner, New Jersey Citizen Action, on making this system so successful."

I wonder if there are three Legislative Districts whose incumbents would volunteer to give up fundraising, except for $5 apiece from a few scores of voters in the qualifying round.  Any takers?
