Thanks for raising the issue, Connie.
Very timely!

King Conservation District elections are under the radar because they don't
appear on a regular ballot.
As a result, few people know about or vote in these elections.

The good news is that there's currently a bill in the state legislature to
get KCD elections on the ballot.
This would not only greatly increase their visibility and accessibility, but
likely improve voter participation in them as well.

You can weigh in virtually to Oppose or Support this bill and/or add
comments at:
https://app.leg.wa.gov/pbc/bill/1910

The bill's hearing is scheduled for Jan 27 at 10 a.m. , so positions and/or
comments should be logged prior to and in time for that.

To reiterate Connie's call, you can also vote online in the KCD Board of
Supervisors election and read candidate's statements at

Subject: [Tweeters] Off topic: King Conservation District voting

Hey tweets, just a heads up that King Conservation District voting for a
board supervisor position is now open and will stay open until Feb. 8. If
you want to make your voice heard with regard to conservation in our county,
you can vote electronically (and read the candidates' statements) at:

https://vote.kingcd.org/app/home

FYI, only about 9500 voters in all of King County voted in the last board
election. We should be doing better. - Connie, Seattle
