King CD Board of Supervisors. King County’s first openly non-binary elected official. I ❤️ urban conservation, farmland preservation, and sustainable land use.
Zoned elections will also help both voters and candidates:
-Running over a smaller area takes less money and time, making it feasible for more people to run.
-Candidates can address issues specific to their communities, & voters can select candidates who meet their area needs.
It was my honor today to sign very important resolutions the Board of Supervisors passed last week: a suite of resolutions laying out the Conservation District’s 2025-29 program of work, and one adopting three new geographical districts for King Conservation District elections.
Our new, zoned election systems will help the District spend 2/3 less money annually on outreach, saving over a hundred thousand dollars each year. That money can go back into the budget to be spent on our real strength and purpose — conservation work!

It's a busy day at KCD, with the Advisory Committee meeting happening NOW, a Board of Supervisors meeting at 5pm, and elections closing at 8pm! (https://t.co/TB5evTTbO8)
I'll be there! Permitting more homes in urban areas helps take the development pressure off of farmland -- in fact, it's the number one farmland preservation issue in King County.
