Claudia Balducci for KC Exec

From honoring Japanese history with NW Asian Weekly, to joining powerful conversations at the Central Area Neighborhood District Council Community Forum, to filming new content and knocking doors with Eastside Urbanism and Seattle Subway, our movement is showing up everywhere across King County.

History is in the making! I have spent my career delivering results that improve lives—expanding affordable housing, strengthening public transit, and ensuring government works for everyone.

I have spent decades navigating these challenges, using my experience to turn ambitious transit visions into reality. I understand the hurdles and know how to deliver projects that connect our neighborhoods.

ENDORSED! 🙌 Mike Millman – Mayor of Woodinville

Public safety is at the heart of strong communities, and our campaign has earned the trust of more local mayors, first responders, and safety community advocates than any other candidate and we’ll keep leading the way on safety all across King County.

I made this a priority when I was Mayor of Bellevue and partnered with other cities to create a regional approach to permanent supportive housing.

We must scale this across King County. The results speak for themselves, and I’m committed to continuing this work.

SOLE Endorsed!!!! 🙌 🌽 Washington Farm Bureau

By supporting sustainable growth and investing in vibrant rural communities, we can strengthen the future of agriculture and ensure that our farmers, ranchers, and families continue to flourish for generations to come.

This Sunday, we’re hitting the doors for with an incredible host - Eastside Urbanism! This is an incredible opportunity to join this movement and help make it seen and heard.

We are proud to have earned the trust of more local King County Mayors, first responders, transportation and housing advocates than any other candidate and will continue to be the leading Democratic voice on safety, housing, and transportation.

What a week!

From candidate forums in Skyway, debates on KUOW & FOX 13, meeting neighbors at Issaquah Salmon Days, to Seattle Democrats’ Pancakes for Progress and canvassing alongside Councilmember Stuart. I'm hearing and seeing enthusiasm in our communities for progress that delivers results.

Experience matters. Results matter. King County can’t wait. ⏰

We don't have time for on the job training. Our endorsements and achievements over the past 20+ years show we’re ready for the job. King County manages a $10 billion annual budget and I’ve already delivered results you can see.

A county is only as strong as its care 💛

No one in King County should go hungry, get sick without care, or be forced to sleep without a roof. As federal decisions ripple down and impact us locally, we need strong leadership that will stand up and protect our most vulnerable neighbors.

🚪💙 When we show up together, we win together.

Every conversation is building momentum as we remind our neighbors what’s at stake this November.

We have been on the move across King County 🙌

Week after week, we’re meeting people where they are and sharing our vision for a county that stays safe, affordable, and connected for every resident.

What’s happening federally is impacting us right here in King County. We don’t need more talk: we need action, experience, and results.

For over 20 years, I’ve dedicated my career to this work. By partnering with neighbors, advocates, and leaders we’ve proven that real progress is possible.

King County doesn’t need a performance. We need results. 💪

With challenges ahead and opportunities in front of us, now is the time to be grounded in reality and motivated by service. Progress doesn’t just happen, it takes local government that works for the people.

From galas to grassroots, we were in every corner of the county. Here are some highlights!

I am proud to be the leading Democratic voice on safety, housing, and transportation, earning the trust of more first responders, transportation/housing advocates and local Mayors than any other candidate.

Stories shape the way we see the world 🎨📚

What an honor to speak at the opening ceremony of the Jaipur Literature Festival here at the Seattle Asian Arts Museum, alongside Pulitzer finalist and New York Times’ ten best books of 2023 author John Vaillant.

King County should move together 🚆🚎

Had an awesome time last night with friends from Subway Seattle and The Urbanist. No matter how you move, by bus, bike, car, or on foot, getting around should be simple, safe, and accessible for everyone.

Our campaign built by and for working families ✊

Union members and labor are at the heart of our communities and represent the workers that make our county services possible. I am proud of the support this campaign has received and stand committed to lifting up workers in King County.

Safety in Little Saigon can’t wait ⚠️

Safety is not negotiable. Every neighbor deserves to walk the streets, shop, work, and gather in peace, without fear. With real community investment, Little Saigon can remain not just resilient, but a vibrant and thriving heart of King County’s future.

No family should have to live in fear in King County 💛

This week I sat down for a powerful conversation about what’s at stake for our immigrant and refugee communities.

There is no grey area here. In this discussion, both Girmay and I agree that we must stand together.
