No Good Choices
Republican incumbent and council president Bill Boyce is running unopposed for another term on the Kent City Council in Position 5. Boyce became the first Black city council member when he was first elected in 2011. He is a veteran and worked in HR for Boeing for more than three decades. He also served on the Kent School District Board of Directors for 16 years. Last year, Boyce ran unsuccessfully for a state Senate seat in the 47th Legislative District.
Boyce has no campaign website for this race as of October. However, his website from last year’s legislative race is full of conservative stances such as cutting funding from crucial public services. A pillar of his 2022 campaign was attacking the WA Cares program, which helps all Washingtonians access the long-term care they need.
Boyce is not a progressive choice. Write in a candidate of your choice for Kent City Council, Position 5.
