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.

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.

Two outstanding progressive leaders are running for King County Executive this year: Girmay Zahilay and Claudia Balducci. Both cite housing, public safety, and transportation as their priorities. Either would serve the county very well and provide strong leadership to help us navigate the challenges of the Trump administration. Building momentum after a strong showing in the primary, Zahilay has earned an impressively broad slate of endorsements, including most of our progressive partner organizations.
Zahilay has an impressive track record of fighting for racial and social justice. He has supported efforts to make government more inclusive and a stronger tool for supporting upward mobility and opportunities for all. Balducci offers extensive, distinguished experience in making government work well for all of us across a range of issues, as well as a passion for solving transportation problems.

He has supported efforts to make government more inclusive and a stronger tool for supporting upward mobility and opportunities for all. Balducci offers extensive, distinguished experience in making government work well for all of us across a range of issues, as well as a passion for solving transportation problems.
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.

King County Councilmember Claudia Balducci has served District 6 (Bellevue and East King County) since 2015. She began her career as a public interest lawyer fighting for women and LGBTQ+ people. She was a neighborhood organizer who went on to serve on the Bellevue City Council, including for a term as mayor. Balducci has served as chair of the county council and serves as vice chair of the Sound Transit Board of Directors, where she successfully advocated for an early opening of the "starter line" in East King County.
In her nearly two decades of public service, Balducci has prioritized progressive solutions to the issues facing our region, including improving transportation options, promoting affordable housing, enhancing community safety, addressing climate action, and supporting arts and culture. Her track record is strong in all of these areas, including an arts levy to invest in science, heritage, arts, and cultural organizations, as well as legislation to keep “forever chemicals” out of our local environment. She was a tenacious advocate for the East Link light rail and the 10-station, 14-mile expansion plan slated for completion in early 2026.
Balducci is running for the executive position with a vision of an inclusive, vibrant, and climate-friendly county where all residents can thrive. She emphasizes her track record of effective leadership at the city and county levels that has delivered results for her communities. As a bus and bike commuter, Balducci is an avid supporter of expanding transit options, particularly light rail and bus routes. Additionally, she is an advocate for transit-oriented housing as a means of improving affordability, as well as cutting red tape to expedite the construction of badly needed housing in our region. Furthermore, she has outlined thoughtful plans to reduce gun violence, expand mental health and addiction treatment services, and youth prevention programs.

Shirly Mittelman is challenging incumbent Jenne Alderks for Bothell City Council, Position 3. Mittelman is a nurse with experience in public schools and at the UW Medical Center.
Mittelman's campaign echoes frequent Republican talking points, emphasizing that she will prioritize solutions over "divisive politics" and "political agendas." Her platform is vague, stating that she will support goals such as community safety and healthy families, without offering specific policies or outlining the ways she would seek to achieve these goals.
The residents of Bothell do not need someone who only offers generic platitudes instead of real progress to benefit the community. We recommend re-electing Jenne Alderks for Bothell City Council, Position 3.

Deputy Mayor Rami Al-Kabra is running for re-election to Bothell City Council, Position 7. Al-Kabra first joined the city council in 2022 and has also served on the boards of Bothell Landmark Preservation and Anti-Racist Communities: Bothell. He is a product management executive and an unwavering community organizer, having helped to organize Bothell’s 2020 March for Black Lives and worked to register eligible local voters in the 2020 election. Al-Kabra became a U.S. citizen in 2006 after he spent three decades as a Palestinian refugee, and he has worked tirelessly to build community here, including as the founder of the Washington Council on Islamic-American Relations chapter and the Islamic Center of Bothell.
In office, Al-Kabra has stuck to his progressive principles as a staunch voice for sustainability, equity, and affordability. He has already worked to bring climate-friendly, affordable housing to the area and promote green city planning so that Bothell can remain a safe environment for our community for generations to come.
His re-election campaign continues to prioritize progressive solutions. Al-Kabra strongly opposes surveillance tools in policing, instead advocating for training in de-escalation and deploying mental health professionals in crises. He remains an advocate for affordable housing initiatives rooted in sustainable infrastructure and greener development. Furthermore, he believes in the power of youth engagement in local politics, proposing a Youth City Council similar to those created in Lynnwood and Auburn.

Mark Swanson is challenging incumbent Rami Al-Kabra for Bothell City Council, Position 7. While his current platform is unknown, Swanson's past campaign in 2023 indicates he is more conservative. In his previous run for city council, he campaigned on an anti-density platform, claiming, "there is no affordable housing crisis." He also said, "I'm not actively campaigning. I'm not going to win.

I doubt I'll manage to get through the primary." Mark Swanson is not a serious candidate in this race.

Jeff Lyon is challenging progressive incumbent Michelle Evans for Woodinville City Council, Position 1. Lyon is a Navy veteran and worked as a Deputy Sheriff in Chesapeake, VA. He has previously worked in the tech and cryptocurrency industries. Recently, he bankrolled the controversial Democratic Woodinville PAC with more than $150,000 of his own money, a previously unheard-of sum for Woodinville politics.
Lyon's Democratic Woodinville PAC caught the attention of the 1st District Democrats and the King County Democrats, both of which rejected any affiliation with the organization. While the PAC positions itself as an advocate for affordable housing and sustainable neighborhoods, it publicly opposes strategies that would support those goals. While they express disdain for developers who "fail to address our community's needs while creating urban sprawl," the PAC opposes downtown developments that would help avoid urban sprawl.
Lyon's conservative agenda has been exposed through his involvement in local neighborhood groups. Lyon explicitly said in private messages, "Woodinville is not and should not boom." He even expressed interest in funding a campaign for Al Taylor, a MAGA-aligned local conservative in favor of bringing DOGE to Washington State.
Lyon has been likened to Elon Musk, and with some good reason. Woodinville voters deserve honest and transparent leadership that serves the public's interests, not a conservative agenda disguised to mislead voters. We recommend Michelle Evans for Woodinville City Council, Position 1.

Rachel Best-Campbell is running for re-election for Woodinville City Council, Position 3. She previously ran a more moderate platform that included expanding public green spaces, reducing traffic congestion, and opposing the Woodinville transfer station. Since joining the council in 2019, she has not been a strong progressive voice and has been particularly disappointing in her approach to climate action.
Of greater concern is that Best-Campbell is endorsed by Democratic Woodinville, a local PAC created by Jeff Lyon. The PAC's mission is "to influence the outcome of City of Woodinville elections, ballot measures, and other local government activities." While the PAC positions itself as an advocate for affordable housing and sustainable neighborhoods, it publicly opposes strategies that would support those goals. On their website, they express disdain for developers who "fail to address our community's needs while creating urban sprawl." Yet, they oppose dense housing developments downtown that would help avoid urban sprawl. Rachel Best-Campbell and the entire Democratic Woodinville slate would be an obstacle to progress for the city.

Jaren Hanson is running for Woodinville City Council, Position 7. He is a former police officer who currently serves in the Army Reserve.
Hanson is running a vague campaign prioritizing balanced development, preserving Woodinville, strong schools, and public safety. While he says he would support education initiatives for children's success and ensuring public safety, but does not detail further the policies he would support, if elected. He is also recommended by the King County GOP as the "best choice" in this race, indicating a more conservative lean.
We recommend re-electing James Randolph for Woodinville City Council, Position 7.
