"The King County Democrats are continuing their vision in 2020  to reach out to underrepresented communities and to build the party and the bench to be more representative of our diverse county. We are thrilled to support candidates that truly reflect and represent their communities," said Shasti Conrad, chair of the King County Democrats.
