Transcript is available here ([link removed]) .
They have also submitted their answers to the King County Democrats endorsement questionnaire, which can be found in full here ([link removed]) . This questionnaire includes questions such as:
* We know that there has been a long-standing issue in WA state with ballots of Black and Hispanic/Latine individuals being rejected at a higher rate than White individuals. What policies should be enacted to address this issue and other barriers to voting equity for marginalized communities?
* There are many ways to undermine elections, particularly disinformation campaigns intended to sow distrust in results. What do we need to do to make our voting process more robust against any such actions?
* As Secretary of State what specific steps would you take to encourage voter registration and how much of a priority would you assign to these efforts?
