We’re almost there—we’re almost to the races you care about. President. Governor. Congress. Light rail. But first we gotta vote on Thing 1 and Thing 2.
King County Charter Amendment No. 1 would change the charter in a way that removes partisan labels (“Democrat,” “Republican,” “Mars Colonial Administration Party,” etc.) from the office of King County prosecutor. Our current King County prosecutor, Dan Satterberg, is pretty much a Republican in name only. (Show pitch: In Transprosecutor, Dan Satterberg plays an elected official who governs as a liberal D but identifies as an asshole R.) Removing the party labels from the office could lead Satterberg and his successors to be more independent and bold—for example, it could help them come out more strongly for stuff like Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion and safe consumption sites.
