To my core campaign team, volunteers, finance committee, donors, door knockers, house hosts, and voters: Thank you. I woke up feeling deeply grateful for all the work you put into this campaign. I appreciate all of you.

Today, we officially won the race for King County Executive.

This is the place that raised me, supported my family, and made my story possible. To now serve as Executive for this region, and to be the first immigrant and first millennial ever elected to the role, is the honor of my lifetime.

Thank you to the 450 people who RSVPd to our election night watch party. I felt so much love in that room.

The results were too close to declare victory, but we are feeling really good. I will have more to say after today’s additional results, but for now, I just want to say thank you so much!

We launched our campaign last December and tonight at 8 PM, polls close and this chapter comes to an end.

No matter what happens, I want to take a moment to share my deepest gratitude. Thank you to everyone who showed up to make our community a better place for all.

Turn those ballots in before 8!

Seattle and King County can’t solve our biggest challenges alone. Real progress requires partnership.

That’s why Erika Evans and I will team up to build safer neighborhoods, support people in crisis, and stand up for workers. But before we can get to work, we need you.

Return before Tuesday!

When I tell people I’m running for King County Executive, most ask, “What’s that?!” So I hit Bellevue Park to find out how many know. Not many!

This role runs housing, transit, public health, criminal justice & more for 2.3M people.

Ballots drop Thurs. Join us Sun 1 PM to rally: bit.ly/girmayrally
