My hope is that over the coming years, we will unite King County voters behind candidates and initiatives that support the well-being of everyone, young and old, as well as the beautiful environment we are so fortunate to enjoy. In the immediate future, we’ll focus on supporting our schools and cities, including the four King County Council races, the race for County Executive, and more than 300 others ranging from school district and port positions to seats focusing on hospital and park administration.”
Beth will be joined on the Board of Officers by:
- Josh Vaughn, 1st Vice Chair
