  • SBE Legislative Strategy
    LEGISLATIVE SESSION PRIORITIES BACKGROUND SBE Visits to Legislature During the afternoon of January 13, Board members are encouraged to meet with their district legislators. Although SBE staff met with legislators often during session, these meetings have value because a message from a constituent always carries weight. SBE staff will provide the members with folders of information and handouts for the legislators. If you haven’t done so yet, please contact your legislators to schedule a 15 minute meeting to discuss the work of the Board. Your first meeting can begin at 2:00 p.m. Election Results and Committee Membership The 62nd Legislature will convene for 105 days beginning January 10 and will end April 24.The Democrats have retained a majority in the Senate: 27-22 and in the House 56-42, but have a slimmer majority than in the previous Legislature.1 The House has retained Representative Frank Chopp as the Speaker and the Senate has retained Senator Lisa Brown as the Majority leader. The new Senate Ways and Means Chair is Senator Ed Murray and the new House Ways and Means Chair is Representative Ross Hunter. The Education Committees have undergone major changes since last session. Senator Rosemary McAuliffe, 1st Legislative District, is remaining as the Chair of the Senate Early Learning and K-12 Education Committee; however, neither of the past vice chairs was reelected (Senator Oemig and Senator Kauffman) and a few other members retired. The House Education Committee membership has also changed because Representative Dave Quall, 40th Legislative District, who was the long time House Education Committee Chair, has retired and will be replaced by Representative Sharon Tomiko Santos, 37th Legislative District.

  • King County Official Local Voters' Pamphlet
    August 7, 2012 Primary and Special Election King County Official Local Voters’ Pamphlet For more information call 206-296-VOTE (8683) or visit www.kingcounty.gov/elections 2 A letter from the Director Dear King County Voter: The August primary and November general election represent the grand fi nale of our four year election cycle in this Presidential election year. In keeping with the drama and intensity of Presidential year elections, this election cycle, national headlines have focused on stories about what some consider to be safeguards and others deem barriers to voter registration and voting. Registered voter purges, requirements to provide government issued photo identifi cation, redistricting with the appearance of isolating minority communities, and screening requirements for voter registration are examples of programs creating controversy. Naturally, advocacy groups have lined up on both sides of these actions. Department of Justice law suits and Supreme Court rulings have reined in some states to address any semblance of voter discrimination. A prominent issue related to these actions is citizenship, and the fear that non-citizens are taking part in our political process. Citizen concerns about voting rights and voter fraud have increased. Recently, King County’s Election Department has received inquiries about the efforts we take to research the validity of citizenship for voter registration in our county, offering the opportunity to clarify myths about voter fraud. I’ve seen immigrant citizens avoid their legal right to vote due to fears brought with them from their former place of citizenship. Reports and proof of non-citizens illegally invading the ballot box are extremely rare.
