I spoke with Councilmember Balducci, who was incredibly gracious and extended a helping hand to work together for the people of King County. I’m grateful for her service and partnership as we move forward.

Now, the work begins, expanding affordable housing, improving public safety, strengthening mental health and recovery systems, and keeping our region moving.

Thank you so much to everyone who believed in what we were building. This win belongs to you.

From Shoreline to Seattle to Federal Way, from Vashon to Snoqualmie, and everywhere in between, I’ve listened to your hopes and frustrations. Together, we built one of the broadest, most diverse coalitions in King County history.
