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.

His re-election campaign continues to prioritize progressive solutions.

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.
