The King County Council is seeking approval of Proposition No. 1, which would provide funding for local parks, open spaces, trails, recreation, public pools, zoo operations, and an aquarium capital project. Renewing and replacing the County Parks levy is crucial for protecting thousands of acres of forest, investing in parks of all sizes, and expanding access to recreation and learning for underserved communities.
All children in King County deserve fun and safe places to play, and preserving our open spaces now will help combat climate change as well as protect air and water quality for generations to come. Proposition No. 1: Parks for All will cost the average homeowner less than $8 per month and will ensure King County's parks and other open spaces will continue to thrive. Vote yes on Proposition No. 1.

Incumbent Carol Frazey is a small business owner and former teacher who is running for re-election to the Whatcom County Council. Her platform is focused on developing youth health programs in nutrition, education, and the environment, increasing access to treatment programs to reduce incarceration rates, and supporting affordable housing. She is seeking to implement countywide broadband service, create a water protection plan for Lake Whatcom, and build a carbon-negative economy in the County.
Frazey is running against David Ramirez, Bill LaFreniere, and Brett Bonner. Ramirez, who has been endorsed by the Whatcom County Republicans, is running to support individuals' rights to use, possess, and dispose of private property as they see fit. LaFreniere is running on a variety of conservative viewpoints from fighting unions to increasing mining and other industries, calling the earth's resources "inexhaustible."
In late May, Bonner confessed to sexually harassing a Whatcom County woman online while "blackout drunk." At the time he was the Whatcom County Republican vice chair. The confession came too late to withdraw from the election, but Bonner has thankfully suspended his campaign.
Carol Frazey is by far the best candidate in this race.

Longtime King County Council member and civil rights legend Larry Gossett is running for re-election in District 2. Gossett is a progressive stalwart on the council. Recently, Gossett was the prime sponsor of legislation establishing King County as a sanctuary for immigrants and refugees. He also led the effort to block King County jails from honoring ICE detainer requests.
Gossett began his career by founding the Black Student Union at the University of Washington and joined leaders from other communities of color in a high-profile series of protests for justice and equality in the 1960s and 1970s. He is now running for a seventh term focused on expanding affordable housing, reducing racial disproportionality in the criminal justice system, and improving transit access.
Gossett is a great choice if you're looking for a progressive council member with a demonstrated track record of fighting for civil rights.

Attorney and nonprofit founder Girmay Zahilay is challenging Councilmember Larry Gossett in King County, District 2. Zahilay, who is the child of Ethiopian refugees, is prioritizing making systemic changes to alleviate homelessness, improving access to transit, and tackling environmental justice. He has made it clear he’s not running to criticize Gossett but to carry on his legacy. Zahilay supports a housing first approach to homelessness and wants to create a central authority to coordinate the response across agencies and locations. As the co-founder of Rising Leaders, a group that provides mentorship and leadership development to underserved middle school students, Zahilay believes that a stronger mentorship system in Seattle Public Schools could help alleviate the achievement gap.
Zahilay is a great choice if you’re looking for new leadership on the King County Council.

Incumbent Fred Felleman is an environmental consultant and marine biologist. He is running to retain his seat on the Seattle Port Commission to continue fighting climate change and increasing the port's green energy jobs. He has been a leader on the commission in protecting orcas, publicly opposing the dangerous Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain pipeline, and promoting transparency at the port while advocating for well-paying jobs. The port faced criticism following the Trump Muslim Ban when some protesters on the light rail were forced to skip the airport station.

Lemmon is a theatre supervisor who was inspired to run to encourage voting and is using his campaign to engage the voter base prior to the 2020 election. He has no detailed campaign information available.

Spokane City Council President Ben Stuckart is running for mayor. Stuckart has been a champion for working people and the environment. He led the charge in passing a quality jobs package that encouraged the use of local contractors for city contracts and increased access to family-wage jobs through apprenticeship opportunities. Stuckart has also been a leader on protecting clean air and clean water, paid sick and safe leave, and protecting immigrants in our communities.
Stuckart is running against former news anchor Nadine Woodward, small business owner Jonathan Bingle, West Central Neighborhood Council chairman Kelly Cruz, and firefighter Shawn Poole. Foremost among these is Woodward, a conservative candidate who has posted videos on her campaign page criticizing homeless people at the library. She believes public safety needs to be the first priority of the government and says she prioritizes business owners when it comes to oversight.
Poole wants to increase the number of firefighters and police officers in Spokane and is very critical of our homeless neighbors. Cruz is Chair of the West Central Neighborhood Council as well as Spokane C. O. P. S., a nonprofit dedicated to crime prevention and safety. He wants to increase accountability for the homeless and believes property crime in the community is up because of drug trafficking. Bingle founded Bingle Enterprises in 2010 and has been a pastor at Genesis Church in North Spokane since it was founded in 2017. Bingle wants increased accountability for the homeless, a more business-friendly Spokane, and fewer taxes.
Stuckart is the most progressive choice in this race and will be a great next mayor of Spokane.

Spokane City Councilmember Breean Beggs is a strong champion of smart justice and criminal justice reform. He has a long track record of holding corporations accountable and protecting the rights of low-income residents. Beggs is the former Executive Director of the Center for Justice in Spokane and has recently pushed to increase safety protections for coal and oil trains that run through downtown Spokane. In his time on Spokane City Council, Beggs updated Spokane's Title 18 (Freedom from Discrimination) ordinance, established civilian oversight of police actions, expanded the Multi-Family Tax Exemption to increase opportunities for housing for every income level, and increased funding for traffic-calming projects, including the construction of new sidewalks and paving unpaved streets.
Beggs is facing Councilmember Mike Fagan, Phil Tyler, and Cindy Wendle in this race. Fagan has been the most conservative member of the council and has frequently aligned himself with Tim Eyman. Fagan is skeptical about climate change and the need for vaccines. Wendle is co-owner of Northtown Square and was on the advisory board of the Washington Policy Center, a right-wing think tank. She cites her opposition to the presence of homeless camps as the main reason she is running. Tyler, a campus security officer at Gonzaga, is facing accusations of abuse and harassment from three of his ex-wives and during his time as a corrections officer at the Spokane County Jail. Tyler has denied all allegations.

Adam Aguilera is a progressive teacher and former Secretary/Treasurer of the Evergreen Education Association who led strikes to gain salary increases for teachers last fall. Both he and Perez were finalists for the open Position 2 seat that ultimately went to Erik Paulsen. Aguilera is supporting a slate of policies that includes community partnerships to provide affordable childcare, a housing-first approach to unsheltered residents, developing a new sustainability plan for Vancouver, and encouraging the growth of small and micro-businesses.
Aguilera is facing off against a large field of candidates, including newcomer Mike Pond, a marketing specialist and progressive, and moderate Sarah Fox, a military veteran and urban planner. Conservative pastor and business owner Dorel Singeorzan is running on a pro-business platform that's harshly critical of homeless people in our community. The last candidate in this race is Jeanne Stewart, a conservative with an independent streak who previously served 12 years on the city council before being elected as a Republican to the Clark County Council. She lost to Democrat Temple Lentz in 2018. Stewart was removed from the C-Tran board while serving on the council because of her opposition to expanding light rail and bus service options.
