I have a rock-solid pro-environmental record on land use issues at the county-- protecting our environment and critical areas, preventing sprawl, maintaining the urban growth boundary, etc. I have worked to find common ground with the local organization on issues like appropriately funding our permitting department to reduce permit delays, and streamlining the online permit application process. Page 4: ALL CANDIDATES: Candidate Background and Free Response Q16 Please describe your background (education, employment, community and civic activity, labor union affiliation etc.) I've been immersed in the South King County community my entire life, growing up here and now representing my community on the County Council. I’m the son of a father with a disability and the brother of someone who has been criminal-justice involved and who has overcome addiction. I came out of the closet the year I first ran for office making history as the first out LGBT legislator outside Seattle in the history of our state. After serving the 33rd District in the Legislature for 12 years, where I was a leader of a progressive caucus, my community elected me to the County Council 7 years ago, where I’m completing my 2nd term. I am working in the community every day, listening, collaborating and centering my work in communities of color and immigrant and refugee communities…building authentic relationships and delivering results. I’ve served on boards of many local community nonprofits, and participated in countless organizing campaigns in South King County—including helping lead the $15 minimum wage effort in SeaTac. I’m a former Chair of the 33rd District Democrats and have a BA in Environmental Science & Biology and a Graduate Certificate in Energy Policy. Q17 Please describe your history of involvement (if any), with particular emphasis on the last five years, in local, regional, and/or state politics. As Chair of the 33rd District Democrats, later as a State Legislator, and now as County Councilmember, I’ve been extremely engaged politically in my community in South King County-- working to elect progressives to local office and supporting progressive causes through community organizing and campaign work. In particular, I've tried to use my position of privilege and experience to benefit first time candidates who are underrepresented in government, such as LGBT candidates, female candidates, candidates of color, young candidates, and immigrant/refugee candidates-- not just endorsing, but speaking at events, knocking on doors and raising money. I've also helped fund and personally engaged in collaborative organizing efforts such as South King County Democrats (which hired a full- time organizer) and partnerships with UniteHERE Local 8 and the Conservation Voters to collaborate on SeaTac City Council races. I’ve also worked hard to support a pipeline of new diverse talent through my Youth Advisory Council and previously through UpthePAC —a political action committee I created primarily to support progressive candidates to School Boards and City Councils in South King County. 4 / 15 King County Democrats Candidate Questionnaire 2021 SurveyMonkey Q18 Please describe the progress of your campaign and goals. How do you plan to win? My goal is to build a big diverse grassroots coalition—and I’m proud of the progress we are making. I announced my campaign with early endorsements from more than 50 leaders from communities of color in South King County. The grassroots support continues to grow…including many community activists, local party leaders, progressive religious leaders, leaders in immigrant/refugee communities, small business owners, LGBT community leaders, environmental activists, and local elected officials. The first seven labor unions that have weighed-in have given me their sole endorsement. The Latinx for Upthegrove group is organizing their first event, and a coalition of leaders in the African-American community in South King County are hosting a fundraiser in May. This broad coalition will help communicate to voters my values, record, and our shared vision as a community. I’m relying on leaders from the community to share their stories of how we’ve worked together as a community and share their belief that I’ve been an effective progressive champion for South King County and that we need proven leadership to build on the progress we have made together. I’ve assembled a diverse professional campaign team and have raised more than $150,000 so far—almost entirely from individuals. Q19 What issues do you think deserve more attention from media or elected officials? How would you seek to remedy that through your campaign or when elected? The mental health crisis doesn’t receive the attention it deserves. Mental health needs have increased dramatically during the pandemic. We are massively underfunding mental health at the federal, state, and county level. The intersectionality of this issue with others is clear. Lack of adequate mental health services makes worse existing racial disparities in health care, sometimes is a contributing factor to being unhoused, can create barriers to economic mobility, and can contribute to unnecessary criminal legal consequences due to broken systems of policing. In the campaign, I try to break down stigmas by sharing my personal experiences and that of loved ones. Our campaign message leads with health—given

  • Early Scoping Summary Report
    Early Scoping Summary Report June 2018 Tacoma Dome Link Extension and OMF South Overview Purpose This report describes the early scoping process and summarizes the comments received during the early scoping period from the agencies, tribes, and public. Sound Transit conducted early scoping from April 2 through May 3, 2018. The comments submitted during early scoping are being considered by Sound Transit to identify and develop alternatives for the Tacoma Dome Link Extension and Operations and Maintenance Facility (OMF) South. Early Scoping Process The early scoping notice for the Tacoma Dome Link Extension and OMF South was published in the Washington State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) register on March 28, 2018, with the early scoping comment period beginning on April 2, 2018. Sound Transit also mailed postcards to properties along the corridor, placed print and online advertisements, and posted notices to social media sites. An agency meeting and three community open houses were held during the comment period. Sound Transit asked for comments on: • The route (alignment), stations, potential alternatives, benefits, and impacts for the Tacoma Dome Link Extension • The potential location, benefits, and impacts for an OMF in the south corridor (South King and Pierce counties) • The Purpose and Need statement The representative project from the Sound Transit 3 Plan was used as a starting point for comments on potential alternatives. The representative project route begins at the Federal Way Transit Center, extending south along the west side of Interstate 5 (I-5) through Federal Way and Milton, and along the north side of I-5 through Fife and the reservation of the Puyallup Tribe of Indians to the Tacoma Dome.

  • 12.4.19 Edge Sign on Letter
    December 4, 2019 Bob Pekenpaugh General Manager Edgewater Hotel 2411 Alaskan Way Seattle, WA 98121 Dear Mr. Peckenpaugh, Seattle, King County and the State of Washington have long been proud leaders of advancing the rights of workers in our communities. From raising the minimum wage, to passing a statewide paid family leave program, to protecting hotel workers from injury and harassment, we have shown a deep and ongoing commitment to ensuring that workers are treated with dignity and respect in this region. As a premier downtown hotel, and one located on publicly owned land, we expect the Edgewater to set a leading standard for employers in our city. This is especially important during a time when increasing housing costs are forcing more and more workers out of the city. We support your workers as they seek to settle a contract with wages that more closely meet the increased cost of living in Seattle, secure year-round health care and provide assurances that they will keep their jobs in the event of a sale or transfer of the hotel to a new owner or operator. We believe that the workers, who are the backbone of your hotel’s success, should share in your hotel’s success and prosperity, as evidenced by your 70% increase in revenues since 2010. We are dismayed that you have responded to your workers’ contract campaign by hiring Modern Staffing & Security, a self-proclaimed nationwide “leader in strike staffing and security.” We have received reports from workers at your hotel that guards have been stationed throughout the workplace and break areas in the hotel and that workers and union leaders have been followed and harassed by these guards.
