Environmental Community Backs Sherril Huff

Seattle, WA. King County Conservation Voters, the local chapter of Washington Conservation Voters, and the Cascade Chapter of the Sierra Club have both endorsed Sherril Huff for King County Elections Director. Both organizations cited Sherril Huff’s extensive experience with successful elections as well as her commitment to pushing for accuracy and innovations to ensure a fair election process.

“As a political organization Washington Conservation Voters is mindful of having sound election systems and processes that encourage voter participation,” said Sudha Nandagopal, a spokesperson for Washington Conservation Voters. “Sherril Huff has unparalleled experience in overseeing elections. We need someone who will continue running smooth elections for King County and push for accuracy and innovations to ensure a fair, open election.”

“The Sierra Club recognizes the important role that the Elections Director plays in ensuring fair King County elections. Sherril Huff knows exactly what it takes to run a high performing elections office,” said Scott Otterson, Political Chair for the Sierra Club Cascade Chapter. “As the county transitions to all-mail voting, it’s critical that Sherril Huff retains her current position and continues to pioneer and push for high standards.”

Both organizations also noted Huff’s implementation of reforms since 2005 as the current King County Elections Director and that she and her team have overseen 21 successful elections and put King County on the leading edge of establishing industry security standards and audits.
