-Hello, I'm Maya Vengadasalam,
and I'm running for King County Council
to bring responsible leadership and a future focused vision
to District 7.
For over two decades,
I worked alongside individuals and organizations
across the region,
always focused on making a positive impact.
And as an accountant, I understand the importance
of fiscal responsibility and transparency
in managing budgets,
optimizing processes,
and ensuring taxpayer dollars are used efficiently.
These practices are the foundations
of a healthy government.
Serving as a school board director,
president and legislative representative for eight years
taught me that real change happens when we work together.
Government should be about accountability,
accessibility and genuinely serving the people.
That's why I'm focusing on four key priorities.
First, let's talk about transparency and accountability.
Tax dollars need to be spent wisely,
and decisions must be clear and accessible
to everyone they impact.
Second, economic growth is essential
to strengthen communities,
providing support for local businesses,
workforce development and fair opportunities for all.
Third, affordable housing is crucial.
We need effective solutions to reduce homelessness
and ensure everyone has access to safe, stable homes.
And finally, public safety and education.
It's all about building partnerships
to make our neighborhoods safer
and to strengthen lifelong learning
so that our communities can grow stronger together.
My past service in these areas
has earned me multiple recognition and support
from community organizations and leaders,
because leadership isn't about promises, it's about results.
And I'm ready to roll up my sleeves,
work across differences and deliver meaningful progress.
I would be honored to earn your vote.
Thank you.
