Rep. Cindy Ryu is running for re-election in the 32nd Legislative District, House Position 1. Formerly the mayor of Shoreline, Ryu was the first Korean American mayor in the country and the first to serve in the state Legislature. In her position in the House, Ryu has prioritized supporting small businesses, affordable housing, environmental protections, and public schools.
Rep. Ryu is the Chair of the Community Development, Housing & Tribal Affairs Committee. In this role, Ryu has supported the development of tiny homes and upzoning in urban areas, as well as proposing a bill to create "housing opportunity zones" near high-quality transit. She has also advocated for reforms to hold law enforcement officers accountable. Unfortunately, Ryu was one of two Democrats who voted against legislation to exempt menstrual products from unnecessary taxation this March. However, Rep. Ryu also sponsored legislation prohibiting race-based hair discrimination and requiring the dispossession of forfeited firearms, both of which passed the House.
Rep. Ryu is running against Democrat Shirley Sutton. Sutton is a former Lynnwood council member backed by the Persist PAC, a group centering the candidacies of Black women for state Legislature. Sutton championed diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts while on the Council and received the Snohomish County NAACP Carl Gipson Lifetime Achievement Award last year.
Ryu stands apart from her progressive opponent because of her legislative experience and clear policy agenda. She is the best choice in this race and deserves your vote.

In the race for King County Superior Court Position 30, both candidates are highly qualified for the position. However, a formal admonishment from the Commission on Judicial Conduct for Judge Doug North makes us lean towards Ladd.
