In this race, Wilson’s platform emphasizes similar values of accessibility, innovation, and efficiency in the office while working on community issues like housing and immigration.

Incumbent Julie Wise is running for her third term serving as King County Director of Elections. Wise has worked in elections since 2000 and as the county’s director since 2015. During her two terms, she has brought innovative community services to the offices that have advanced civic education and voter participation.
Wise has led progress in the county elections office, instituting the Voter Education Fund (a public-philanthropic partnership), providing prepaid postage on ballots, introducing new language options, and adding 65 new ballot drop-off locations. Her past term included successfully navigating the storm of election misinformation and conspiracy theories about the democratic process. Wise has won numerous awards for her leadership in the office.
Wise’s campaign reflects her continued commitment to reducing barriers to voting, protecting elections from infringement, building community trust in the accuracy of election results, and making sure every vote is counted. Her biggest priorities for a third term are continuing progressive efforts to increase accessibility while investing in security to protect voters and elections offices from intimidation.
Republican Doug Basler is challenging Wise in this race. Basler runs a digital video and marketing services company, and he has previously run for office. His campaign platform dangerously promotes far-right fictions of election fraud that fueled the 2020 criminal conspiracy to overthrow the will of the people. Basler has also previously questioned the integrity of county elections, and even participated in lawsuits aimed at overturning the function of our democratic institutions.
King County voters deserve an elections director who is focused on delivering quality and accurate services rather than someone who wants to overturn our votes and stoke chaos in order to elevate their position and that of their party. Julie Wise deserves re-election for another term as King County Director of Elections to continue bringing strong leadership to the office.Last updated: 2023-10-19Julie Wise

No Recommendation
Scott Mason is a retired Boeing employee and foster parent who is running on a vague platform to cut some funding to our students. He is a conservative though his campaign veers less conspiracy-based than his opponent.
Jimmy Stewart is a Seattle Police Department officer running a far-right campaign to install far-right ideas in our schools. He has the support of a local, conservative political group and neglected to share a voters' guide statement with the public. He has been accused of numerous police violations at the SPD of which The Courier-Herald reported “Stewart has been involved in at least 16 various Office of Police Accountability investigations into policy violations between 2014 and 2021, all of them minor.” If elected, he would bring misinformation, fear-mongering, and MAGA policy to the school board.
There are no good candidates in this race, though Mason is less problematic. Vote for Mason or write in a candidate of your choice for Enumclaw School Board, Director District 1
Scott Mason
There are two conservatives seeking to replace Jennifer Kent in Enumclaw School Board, Director District 4. This race has descended into accusations between the candidates of hacking, PDC violations, and professional misconduct.

He is running on a 0sues facing the district. His ultimate goal is to ensure that all students have access to a safe and rewarding education that prepares them for a wide range of futures.
Vivian Tillman-Cadematori, a retired business owner, is challenging Gamblin in this race. Tillman-Cadematori is an extremely conservative candidate who is running to bring conservative values into our schools. Her top talking point is allowing personal political and religious beliefs to dictate what our students learn.
While there are no progressives in this race, we believe Tyson Gamblin is a better candidate for Enumclaw School Board, Director District 3.

No Good Choices
Ben Stouffer, an electrical construction superintendent, is campaigning on a vague platform that solely focuses on academic results and neglects to identify the issues facing students and teachers that prevent successful outcomes. If elected, he would cut funding from student programs and influence the curriculum with conservative ideas.
Tonya Pettit shares many of Stouffer’s vague platform and conservative ideas for office. Like her opponent, her campaign hyperfocuses on academic results while advocating to cut funding to the programs that help students succeed. She also wants to bring far-right misinformation into our schools.
There are no good choices in this race. Write in a candidate of your choice for Enumclaw School Board, Director District 4.

Valley Regional Fire Authority Proposition 1 provides financing for capital improvements to fire and emergency services in Algona, Auburn, and Pacific.
When a loved one is experiencing a health crisis, the last thing to worry about should be whether or not our firefighters and ambulance services have the funding they need to help. Emergency services require upgraded infrastructure and resources in order to ensure that a strong crisis response is there when we need it most.
Earlier this year, the Board of Governance adopted a resolution to finance the fire authority for capital needs. Now, it is up to voters to approve this plan to raise funds by issuing no more than $96.5 million worth of general obligation bonds to be repaid by the annual levy of excess property taxes. If passed, the proposition outlines destinations for the funding including constructing two new fire stations, rebuilding the headquarters response station, and establishing a logistics and maintenance facility. With this crucial investment, the fire authority can deliver improved, life-saving services to the entire community to keep us all safe.
