“We are proud to field a slate of endorsed candidates dedicated to advancing equity and progressive values in every city in King County.” said King County Democrats Communications Vice Chair Julia Reed. “Whether you’re voting for city council or cemetery district or U.S. Senate, every election matters, and we want people to vote for representatives that will advance our vision of a more just county.”
The endorsements come on the heels of a successful Summer Organizing Social hosted by the King County Democrats on Sunday, June 23 where dozens of volunteers were trained to canvass for candidates across the county. The King County Democrats will be hosting monthly canvasses in different parts of the county, starting with SeaTac on July 20. The King County Democrats will also be marching with elected officials from across King County in the Seattle Pride Parade, and registering voters on June 29 at Capitol Hill Pridefest.
The King County Democrats are the face and voice of the Democratic Party in King County, working to elect Democratic candidates to office at every level of government and advocating for public policies rooted in Democratic values.
