没有建议

Robyn Desimone is running unopposed for Des Moines City Council, Position 7. Desimone is a small business owner who founded the Burien Business Association after seeing the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on small businesses.

Despite campaigning for public safety and community programs, Desimone frequently conflates homelessness and crime, blaming her decision to close her business in Burien on the ongoing housing crisis. Instead of offering concrete solutions to help those experiencing homelessness, she criticized a new low-barrier DESC apartment complex in Burien. There is no evidence that providing people with homes increases crime. In fact, leaving people with no housing options will lead to more people being forced to live in unsafe housing or on the streets.

Robyn Desimone displays a lack of compassion and understanding of those affected by the ongoing housing crisis, scapegoating the unhoused as a way to criminalize homelessness. Unfortunately, there is no progressive candidate in this race. We recommend writing in your own candidate of choice.

Statewide Ballot Measures

Constitutional Amendment #8201

投票 APPROVED

Approve 8201 to grow WA Cares Funding!

网站 Facebook 认可

SJR 8201 will grow Washington’s long-term care fund for aging people and people with disabilities, keeping premiums low, without costing taxpayers a single penny. Also known as the “Allow Investment of Long-Term Services and Supports Trust Fund Amendment," SJR 8201 is a constitutional amendment adding accountability protections to our long-term care fund, requiring that 100% of investment income be used for long-term care.

If passed, SJR 8201 would increase the state’s long-term care fund for vulnerable Washingtonians by at least $67 billion over the next 50 years by allowing the nonpartisan Washington State Investment Board to diversify investments. In the state legislature, 128 legislators voted in favor of the measure, and only 16 were opposed. Additionally, it has the support of groups such as the Washington State Nurses Association, the Washington State Council of Fire Fighters, Planned Parenthood, and the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.

Vote APPROVED on SJR 8201 to protect and grow our state’s independent long-term care fund for aging adults and people with disabilities.

Vote YES to Support Medic One Emergency Medical Services!

Proposition 1 asks voters to renew a six-year property tax to maintain Medic One Emergency Medical Services, which serves more than 2.3 million people and provides lifesaving services every two minutes. The proposed levy rate would cost King County taxpayers $0.25 per $1,000 of property value. For the owner of a median $850,000 home, the levy rate would cost about $212 per year. If passed, the levy will maintain current services, such as 27 Advanced Life Support paramedic units and firefighter and EMT support. Other benefits include modernized tools for 911 dispatchers and responders, as well as expanded access across King County.

Vote YES to King County Proposition 1 to continue to fund lifesaving services across the county.

After 15 years representing the 33rd District in the state House of Representatives, Tina Orwall was appointed in January to replace Senator Karen Keiser, who retired. Before being elected in 2009, she spent 20 years as a professional in the public mental health system, holding a position in Seattle’s Office of Housing, where she worked to connect people to direct services and resources. Orwall is now running unopposed to retain her seat in the state Senate.

During her tenure in Olympia, Orwall has been a strong advocate for survivors of sexual assault. In particular, she has worked to end Washington’s backlog of rape kits and pass legislation to support sex-trafficking victims.

Since her appointment to the Senate, Orwall has continued to be an advocate for mental health and housing initiatives. In January, Orwall sponsored a bill that would not only arrange for social workers in schools but would increase services in high-poverty schools. Additionally, she voted to increase education funding and expand access to special education services.

Tina Orwall has been a compassionate advocate and leader for the district. We are excited to see what she accomplishes in her full term representing the 33rd Legislative District in the Washington state Senate.

其他候选人

Conservative Democrat Kevin Schilling is challenging Rep. Edwin Obras. He shares neither the values nor the priorities of local voters.

Schilling is currently the Mayor of Burien and was a city council member from 2020 to 2024. He currently works as a lobbyist for the state's dental association in Olympia and previously served as the political director to Congressman Derek Kilmer.

Schilling has often sided with corporations and wealthy conservatives on important state and local issues. Schilling recently criticized progressive leaders in Olympia who worked to ensure the wealthy pay what they owe our communities. Last year, Schilling testified against progressive rent stabilization legislation that would have reduced costs for renters and seniors statewide.

While in office, Schilling regularly generated controversy for his hardline stances seeking to criminalize homelessness in Burien. Schilling voted against accepting $1 million and 35 pallet shelters from King County that would have provided an alternative to camping on sidewalks. This decision drew attention to the significant campaign contributions he received from Burien Toyota, which had leased the land the city likely would have used for the pallet shelters.

Schilling also played a leading role in removing Burien Planning Commission Chair Charles Schaefer for his outreach to people experiencing homelessness. He was visibly angry during the hearing, raising his voice and berating Schaefer in a way that was completely unprofessional and inappropriate. This event generated significant backlash, including the resignation of 11 other members of boards and commissions. Schilling's behavior in his official capacity should be a red flag for all voters in the district.

King County Council President Girmay Zahilay has represented District 2 (Central and South Seattle) since his first election in 2019. Raised in Seattle’s public housing by a refugee single mother, he survived on food stamps before making his way through Stanford University to serve in the Obama administration fighting poverty. He is an attorney with experience in both the corporate and public sectors. Zahilay also founded Rising Leaders, a nonprofit that uplifts underserved middle school students to reach their full potential.

On the county council, Zahilay has focused on pressing issues such as community safety, the cost of living, and making investments in local public services. His accomplishments demonstrate a comprehensive and progressive approach to enhancing the quality of life for all county residents. Zahilay led the Food Bank Motion to bring greater food security and affordability to our region, helped efforts to transform Skyway, including greater public transit coverage. He has made public safety a top priority, including leading an effort to establish five crisis care centers that will help our neighbors struggling with addiction and mental illness, writing legislation to reduce gun violence, and creating a program to tackle crime at transit stations.

Zahilay's campaign focuses on a wide range of progressive priorities. His own personal experience with homelessness informs his approach to the issue, prioritizing solutions such as investing in additional shelter beds, zoning reforms, rental assistance programs, and youth-oriented programming to prevent homelessness. He is also a strong supporter of not only protecting but expanding access to reproductive health care, including gender-affirming care. Some of his other priorities include public safety, gun violence prevention, and more. Zahilay's platform is carefully and thoroughly constructed, with well-researched progressive solutions.

Zahilay has earned endorsements from local tribes, two fellow councilmembers, the governor and attorney general, as well as U.S. Representatives Adam Smith and Pramila Jayapal.

Steinmetz worked in the King County Prosecutor's office, as a city prosecutor for the city of Olympia, and as a staff attorney for the Washington state Senate Judiciary Committee. He also directed government relations for the Washington Association for Housing and Services for the Aging, advocating for not-for-profit senior housing.

Steinmetz's re-election campaign is focused on public safety, downtown improvements, and fiscal responsibility. We appreciate that his approach to public safety extends beyond traditional policing to include mental and behavioral health professionals in responding to non-emergency calls. Steinmetz's vision for the downtown area includes more walkable infrastructure that allows for more ability and access to businesses. He is a proponent of the Marina Steps and Redondo Pier projects, as well as an advocate for a passenger ferry service in Des Moines. He expressed his desire for fiscal responsibility in the city's budget; however, he did not detail what that would entail.

Harry Steinmetz is a steady leader who would continue to serve the community well. We recommend re-electing him for another term on the Des Moines City Council in Position 1.

David Denino is challenging incumbent Harry Steinmetz for Des Moines City Council, Position 1. Denino is currently a customs broker working in international trade. He was inspired to run for city council while training for a marathon when he observed problems with the city's infrastructure.

Denino's campaign prioritizes strategic growth, public safety, and a balanced budget. He hopes to use the new light rail station as a catalyst for growth, proposing the Pacific Highway corridor to be used for mixed-use development. His vision includes a revitalized and unified downtown area to boost the city's economy. He is an advocate for a more strategic partnership for public safety that includes law enforcement, service providers, and local businesses. While he recognizes the lack of public trust in policing, we would like to see his vision include more specific ideas for incorporating crisis response services beyond police officers.

In this race, we recommend re-electing Harry Steinmetz due to his ongoing work on the Des Moines City Council.

Des Moines City Council, Position #3

Gene Achziger is running for re-election for Des Moines City Council, Position 3. Achziger is a retired journalist and commissioner for Mount Rainier Pool. He also serves as president of the Des Moines Legacy Foundation.

As of mid-October, Achziger does not have a detailed campaign platform. In his previous run for city council, Achziger emphasized communication and transparency in his King County voters' pamphlet statement.

While Achziger is running unopposed for Des Moines City Council, Position 3, we would like to hear more about what he intends to accomplish in his second term.

Pierre Blosse is running for Des Moines City Council, Position 5. Born in France, Blosse moved to the US at age 10. He has been living in Des Moines since 2019 and currently works as the Vice President of the Des Moines Legacy Foundation.

Blosse is running a mixed campaign, focused on creating a better Des Moines for future generations. He is an advocate for community spaces, such as parks and playgrounds, as well as for maintaining youth center programs. He has set an ambitious goal of making the city carbon neutral by 2050, but it is unclear how he plans to move Des Moines towards this goal. He is opposed to increased taxation, which can make it difficult to maintain essential services and programs. Additionally, Blosse aims to enhance community engagement through more transparent practices, including budget summaries and community outreach before final votes. While his campaign could afford more specific ideas and proposals, Blosse has earned the endorsements of local Democratic affiliates, such as the King County Democrats and the 33rd District Democrats.

While Pierre Blosse is not the most progressive candidate on the ballot this year, we lean towards voting for him for Des Moines City Council, Position 5.

Lloyd Elliott Lytle Jr. is also running for Des Moines City Council, Position 5. Lytle is a science educator and an active community member, serving on the 2023 Citizens Advisory Committee.

Lytle's platform is prioritizing public safety, the environment, and community engagement. He is a proponent of a "mutually respectful relationship" with government and law enforcement and advocated for basic essential services. He also expressed his desire to care for the environment for the sake of community health. Lytle's platform remains vague and lacks detailed policy proposals outlining the specific support he intends to provide if elected. We would like to see his approach to public safety expanded to include more progressive solutions, such as incorporating crisis responders and implementing de-escalation training.

While we appreciate his candidacy and experience with the 2023 Citizens Advisory Committee, Lloyd Elliott Lytle Jr.'s campaign lacks significant detail. It does not have any organizational endorsements as of late September. We lean towards Pierre Blosse for Des Moines City Council, Position 5.

Des Moines City Council, Position #7

Robyn Desimone is running unopposed for Des Moines City Council, Position 7. Desimone is a small business owner who founded the Burien Business Association after seeing the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on small businesses.

Despite campaigning for public safety and community programs, Desimone frequently conflates homelessness and crime, blaming her decision to close her business in Burien on the ongoing housing crisis. Instead of offering concrete solutions to help those experiencing homelessness, she criticized a new low-barrier DESC apartment complex in Burien. There is no evidence that providing people with homes increases crime. In fact, leaving people with no housing options will lead to more people being forced to live in unsafe housing or on the streets.

Robyn Desimone displays a lack of compassion and understanding of those affected by the ongoing housing crisis, scapegoating the unhoused as a way to criminalize homelessness. Unfortunately, there is no progressive candidate in this race. We recommend writing in your own candidate of choice.
