Seattle and King County can’t solve our biggest challenges alone. Real progress requires partnership.

That’s why Erika Evans and I will team up to build safer neighborhoods, support people in crisis, and stand up for workers. But before we can get to work, we need you.

Return before Tuesday!

MLK Labor has joined more than two dozen unions in endorsing our guy, @girmayzahilay.bsky.social, for King County Executive.

We're voting for Girmay because he will always fight for working families.

As you cast your ballot, remember: Girmay is the only candidate endorsed by Tribal Nations.

If you want an Executive who partners with tribes to grow a strong economy, create good jobs, protect our environment, and deliver solutions to homelessness and behavioral health, Girmay is your choice.

Make your plans to join the No Kings Oct 18 Mass Rally & March at Seattle Center at noon (or come at 11 for less crowded busses and to talk with various coalition organizations), because there's a great list of speakers you won't want to miss!

As Executive, I will protect civil rights in every county program and contract, fund LGBTQIA+ health and housing services, safeguard access to gender-affirming care, strengthen hate-crime reporting and victim support, and partner with community organizations so everyone can live openly and safely.

Councilmember Girmay Zahilay @girmayzahilay.bsky.social · 17d

That matters right now. Across the country, LGBTQIA+ people are facing real attacks on their rights, health care, and safety. County leadership must stand up, not stand by.

I’m proud to share this: I am the only candidate for King County Executive endorsed by LGBTQIA+ organizations, including Seattle Gay News, Washington Stonewall Democrats, and The Queer Agenda Washington.
