-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.
