NPI endorses Ron Sims for reelection

We already endorsed him in the primary. Now we make it completely official for the general election with today's endorsement. A snippet:

[Ron] has has a very strong leadership style. He is outspoken and works tirelessly on behalf of residents and taxpayers - which is outstanding. He believes in fiscal discipline and has steered King County through a minefield of revenue problems in previous years.

Ron has shown time and again that he’s committed to progressive values: last year, he ran on a platform of tax reform, including the adoption of a state income tax, which we love to see. Ron has a solid agenda for the next four years: he wants to form a coalition to reclaim Puget Sound, tackle the problematic issue of accessible health care, and protect the environment while expanding transportation options.
