-My name is Jorge Barón,
and I'm running to serve you on the King County Council
because I believe that together we can build a stronger,
more just future for everyone in King County.
As an immigrant who arrived in the United States from Colombia
at the age of 13
and who was bullied for not speaking English,
and as the proud parent of a trans daughter,
I understand the importance of confronting injustice.
For the past 15 years as the executive director
of the Northwest Immigrant Rights Project,
I have been at the forefront of the fight for immigrant rights
and working to serve marginalized communities.
My track record reflects a proven ability
to tackle complex challenges and build coalitions.
From successfully halting deportations
in the aftermath of the Trump travel ban
to serving on the state task force on
the use of deadly force in policing,
I have consistently made a tangible impact
by working alongside diverse communities
to develop solutions.
Now I aim to bring the same commitment to equity and justice
to the King County Council.
My vision for King County is rooted in integrity and service.
I will invest in preventative, community-based
and data-driven approaches to improve public safety,
climate resilience initiatives,
universally affordable child care,
expanded behavioral health services,
and a robust and sustainable transportation system.
I am determined to develop affordable
and dignified housing for all
and lead on comprehensive strategies
to support our unhoused neighbors.
To realize this vision, I will work urgently
with our state legislative partners
to establish progressive revenue sources that are crucial
for funding necessary investments in the future.
With my understanding of the challenges
faced by diverse communities in King County,
I will be a strong advocate for equitable policies
that address the needs of all residents.
Collaboration will be critical to our success as we strive
to ensure that Martin Luther King Junior County
is a welcoming and prosperous place for everyone.
I am grateful to be endorsed by Washington Conservation Action
and a coalition of local Democrats,
labor unions, business and community leaders,
including Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal,
Representative Liz Berry and others.

It would be an honor to earn your vote
and continue serving our community.

and I am running for
King County Council position number 4.
I am a managing Assistant Attorney General,
