This week my colleagues elected me to chair the 2020 King County Council

Earlier this week, my colleagues on the King County Council unanimously elected me to serve as chair of the Council in 2020. I am excited to take on this leadership role. We will need to work at our best together in 2020 because we have a big year ahead of us.

Our county’s booming economy and rapid growth present both opportunities and challenges that affect all of us, regardless of the city or town we live in. The King County Council is ideally situated to act as a leader and convener to work with our partners throughout King County and the Puget Sound and build solutions together. As chair, I will be committed to fiscal stewardship, regional collaboration and quality government at King County in 2020.

I’m honored to be the first woman chair since Councilmember Julia Patterson in 2008 and the first Eastsider serving as chair since Councilmember Louise Miller held the position in 1999. I thank my colleagues on the King County Council for their confidence in selecting me as chair.

As always I will continue to focus on the needs of our District 6 constituents. Please reach out to me and my staff so we can better serve you.

Until next time,

Claudia Balducci
