Don't forget to vote for Sherril Huff today
Today is Special Election Day in King County. We the people of King County decided, in our infinite wisdom, to hold today's special election when we approved Charter Amendment 1 last November. Charter Amendment 1 (which NPI opposed) created the position of elected director of elections.
In my column this weekend for Reporter Newspapers, I explained why incumbent Sherril Huff is by far the best choice for this position, which is changing from appointed to elected thanks to Charter Amendment 1:

Her resume is strong – highlights include her service as President on the Bremerton City Council, as executive director for the Kitsap Regional Coordinating Council, and as Kitsap County Auditor (for two terms).My entire column is available online at the Reporter's website.
She joined King County Elections in 2005, bringing her extensive expertise to a department in need of reform. Since becoming the chief administrator there, she has implemented hundreds of recommended reforms to strengthen transparency and responsibility, and she is in favor of changing state law to allow for even more comprehensive audits of the department.
Under her leadership, King County Elections has finished moving into a new central facility in Renton, improved ballot security, and is in the process of transitioning to vote by mail only for future elections. In fact, this February special election will be the first vote by mail only election to be conducted countywide. Ballots have already been sent out to poll voters through the United States Postal Service.
None of the other candidates have both Huff’s experience as an elected official and her experience administering elections.
