A 26-year FBI veteran is exactly the kind of candidate I hoped to attract when I helped create this office.

At a time of sky-high costs, strained public trust, and continuing reports of financial misuse, King County taxpayers deserve a watchdog with the experience and authority to conduct rigorous oversight, pursue independent investigations, and ensure meaningful accountability. I’m glad taxpayers will now have someone of this caliber looking out for them.

The council voted Tuesday to appoint Stuart Robinson as the county’s first inspector general and head of a new division in the Office of Public Complaints.

Today, the King County Council voted to approve a new sales tax without direct voter approval. I voted no.

Families across King County are being squeezed by the high costs of housing, groceries, and fuel. At the same time, the county has had to take repeated steps to address waste and fraud in its own spending. Before asking King County families to once again pay more, we ought to get our own house in order.

September is National Recovery Month. It’s a time to help more people achieve and sustain recovery by celebrating the recovery community and the service providers who make their journeys possible.

Thank you to everyone who joined us in the Council Chambers to celebrate, and a special shoutout to community hero Johnny Ohta, recipient of this year’s Recovery Champion Award!

Voters deserve better. Americans are asking government at all levels to earn back their trust. King County should lead the way by answering the call.

Learn how in my op-ed below.

The county is on a path to becoming a nation-wide example of prioritizing taxpayers. We must continue that momentum.

It was great to see everyone at the I Love Cedar River Town Hall. I appreciated hearing directly from so many of you about how we can continue protecting communities while making long-term investments in flood safety and resilience. Thank you to all for a great discussion on flooding, recovery, and the future of our river.

It was an honor to present the 2026 King County Recovery Champion Award to Johnny Ohta, a youth substance use disorder professional at Ryther.

Johnny is more than a professional - he is a critical lifeline for young people who are struggling, and he refuses to give up on them. As someone who has walked my own road of recovery and relied on people like Johnny along the way, I know how much it matters to have someone who believes in you and stays by your side. For decades, Johnny has changed lives across King County, and I can think of no one more deserving of this award than him.
