I’m excited to share that I’m running for re-election to the King County Council! Together, we’ve made real progress — delivering light rail, opening the Eastside’s first permanent shelters, and securing major investments in housing, environmental protection, education, and arts and culture. But we also face serious challenges. We must tackle affordability, confront the climate crisis, and keep our communities safe and connected. I’m running again to keep fighting for: * Affordable housing — so everyone can call East King County home.�� * Reliable, connected transit — finishing what we started while strengthening bus and rail service across the region.�� * Safer communities — with proven approaches that make public spaces, including transit, safe and welcoming.�� * A county government that works — transparent, fiscally responsible, and accountable to you. This work matters deeply to me, and I’m ready to keep delivering for you. Lightbox link for post with description I’m excited to share that I’m running for...
