-Hi, I'm Sarah Perry,
your King County Council member representing District 3,
and I'm running for reelection
to continue fighting for your priorities
on the King County Council.
In my first term, I've held over 700 meetings
and received thousands of responses
to an annual district wide survey
to learn what matters most to you.
I've listened,
and I've delivered over $275 million in local investments
on your priorities with roads, bridges,
safe communities and the environment
as your stated top priorities.
I've worked hard to expand access
to safe and reliable transit,
secure federal funding for the new East Rail Bike Trail,
prepare for light rail expansion,
and support funding for Snoqualmie Valley Transit.
I've also successfully increased investments
in our sheriff's deputies
for more patrols throughout unincorporated areas.
I prioritized our clean water, healthy habitats and open spaces
and fought for our district's fair share of investments
in extreme weather and emergency preparedness.
Committed to developing housing of all types
for all income levels,
I've created zoning incentives to build more housing units,
as well as dedicated more than $166 million
for affordable and supportive housing.
As a mom and former small business owner,
I understand the financial pressures we face and
the need to remove unnecessary barriers to success for all.
I've been a champion for our urban and rural economies,
as well as supporting small businesses and farms
at every opportunity.
I'm grateful to have earned the endorsement of over 200 elected
and local leaders, including the Snoqualmie Indian Tribe,
Congresswoman Schrier, Governor Ferguson,
nine local mayors, Washington Conservation Action,
Planned Parenthood Advocates Alliance,
the Affordable Housing Council,
Local Democrats and many more seen at electsarahperry.org.
I'm Sarah Perry,
and I would be honored to earn your vote to ensure
that all of our families can thrive now and into the future.
Thank you.
-Hi, I'm council member Rob Wotton,
and I'm running for the King County Council
because we deserve real leadership
that puts people first.
I'm in this race for entrepreneurs
who create jobs, for the small business owners
who build our roads and homes,
for the farmers who preserve our land and feed our families,
for the young parents raising the next generation of doers,
for the teachers who inspire our kids,
and the first responders and healthcare professionals
who keep us safe and well,
and for the seniors who deserve to age with dignity
in the communities they love.
Our communities are special.
This isn't Seattle. We're made up of tight-knit towns
with grit, heart, and pride.
And we deserve leadership that sees us,
hears us, and fights for us.
For over a decade, I've done just that.
I've brought together housing experts,
community leaders and advocates to tackle our housing crisis,
because I want my kids and yours to have the choice to live here.
As a banker, I've stood beside small business owners
through their hardest days.
During COVID, I helped secure over $3 million in aid
to help keep their doors open.
Then I built snowvalleyjobs.com,
connecting over 50,000 job seekers with 150 employers,
because I believe in keeping jobs local.
As public safety chair
in one of the safest cities in Washington,
I know what it takes to protect our neighborhoods.
Public safety must be our top priority,
not a bargaining chip for higher taxes.
Those who commit crimes should do time, get the help they need,
and we must keep our communities safe.
I'll bring accountability to the council,
how they spend your money.
Together, we can build a stronger,
safer and more affordable King County.
I'll fight for the services we deserve
and ensure every community across our district thrives.
I'm Rob Wotton. I lead by listening, by showing up
and by delivering real results.
I'd be honored to earn your vote.
