Hello fellow King County Young Democrats! Ballots are in the mail, and I hope you all are excited about voting this primary season! Don't forget to check out our endorsements - if a candidate was endorsed, that means they met the approval of over 2/3 of our voting members at our endorsements meeting!
I also hope that you all will join us on at least one of KCYD's canvasses. We're supporting candidates all over King County, from Bothell to Federal Way, because we need to see progressive change happen everywhere, not just Seattle. We're incredibly excited to see Young Democrats running and carrying our progressive values into office, so let's get out and talk to some voters!
Finally, don't forget our first in-person meeting of the year. We are meeting the many Young Democrats who are running for office in South King County. SKC deserves diverse, progressive leadership to match its diverse, progressive population; next week, come meet the faces of youth leadership in South King County and talk about what unique challenges they face.
See you soon,
