Thank you for being an active and interested voter.
My name is Kathy Lambert,
and I'm the King County Council member
for District 3, running for reelection.
We are seeing many changes in our communities
as we come out of COVID and deal with
many financial and social issues before us.
It takes somebody with experience
willing to listen to everyone and find solutions
to the many issues before us.
I have been and hope to continue to be that leader
for you and our county.
This position is nonpartisan,
which is critical in a diverse district as ours.
It's about getting the job done,
of providing local and regional services
without political infighting.
I represent the largest of the districts,
with urban, rural, and suburban areas,
so I must always be aware of
and listen to the many voices
to find a common solution
to meet the varied needs.
I'm involved in many important issues.
One is the community courts.
This helps to bring services to people in crisis.
We started this program as a pilot
in my district, and it has spread
to other cities.
On June 2nd, "The Seattle Times" editorial board
described this program by saying it demonstrates
that compassion and accountability
are not mutually exclusive,
but complementary actions
that can help individuals
and communities thrive.
On the Law and Justice Committee,
I am prepared to work on implementing
the new voter-approved rules
for the sheriff's department duties
and to protect our citizens.
I'm also the chair
of the Regional Water Quality Committee,
working on the Clean Water Plan for our county
and planning for adequate wastewater
infrastructure for a growing population.
I was, in 2013, named
the United Way Outstanding
Elected Official of the Year
and, in 2019, was selected to be
"Governing" magazine, Women in Leadership.
I am also enjoying finding so many ways
to bring people together.
I hope that you will look at my webpage,
KathyLambert.com,
and vote for me, Kathy Lambert,
so that I can continue to serve you.
Thank you.
