As most of the ballots have been tallied, it is clear my Council colleague Girmay Zahilay has been elected to be the next King County Executive. I just called and congratulated him on the victory, and wished him all the best as he begins to transition into this important role. The success of King ...County depends on his success as Executive, and as a continuing councilmember I am committed to both.
This was a close race – and I am so proud of the campaign we ran and how many people throughout King County placed their trust in me with their vote. Our message was simple: government has to work! That means delivering on affordable housing, high quality public transit, public safety, and more. It's a message that resonated throughout all corners of King County and one that I’ll continue to work toward every day.
In this moment, I am filled with immense gratitude for you and all of our dedicated supporters.
I want to thank the thousands of individuals who donated, hosted or attended one or more of our dozens of events and fundraisers, knocked doors, made calls, and did countless other small and big things to advance this campaign. I am so grateful and humbled by your support and the confidence you placed in me and our shared vision for King County.
Know that what we accomplished doesn't end here. I am committed to carrying this momentum and work forward. There is so much we will still do together – and I look forward to standing and working with you on what comes next.
With immense gratitude -
Claudia

🏡 Delivering an affordable King County
Everywhere I go, people tell me they love King County — but they’re worried they can’t afford to stay here. I hear that fear and I share it for my own family.
In my current role, I’ve brought together cities, housing providers, ...and employers to increase housing availability and affordability throughout King County, making room for the next generation, allowing hardworking people to afford to live here, and supporting historical communities and longtime residents to stay.
But we know that housing affordability is still a tremendous challenge — that’s why it will be my top priority as County Executive.
I will make sure King County is a housing leader — building homes, trust, and results. I’m ready to do that for all of King County. 🏘️
