Election 2009
Last night in races across the state, voters elected environmental candidates and demonstrated once again that in Washington, being right on the environment matters in elections. In a huge victory, you helped defeat Eyman's I-1033 which would have been devastating for environmental protections. We are also celebrating the election of environmental champion Dow Constantine in the race for King County Executive.
Election Results
Last night in races across the state, voters elected environmental candidates and demonstrated once again that in Washington, being right on the environment matters in elections. In a huge victory, you helped defeat Eyman's I-1033 which would have been devastating for environmental protections. We are also celebrating the election of environmental champion Dow Constantine in the race for King County Executive.
In other local races across the state, voters chose candidates with strong environmental backgrounds. Amber Waldref, a candidate with roots in the environmental community, was elected to the Spokane City Council. Karen Valenzuela, who has a strong record on the environment, will be a new Thurston County Commissioner. Voters also re-elected long time environmental leader Dave Somers in Snohomish County. In addition, voters elected all three of our endorsed candidates in the Port of Seattle races.
Congratulations to all of these environmental champions on their races. We'll have more news as the final results come in as well as updates on our website with information about all of our endorsed candidates.
Thank you for voting and for helping Washington Conservation Voters achieve big environmental wins.
