Vote today: King Conservation District
If you live in King County, please take time today to vote for good environmental stewardship and cast your ballot for Mark Sollitto.
Mark is running as a write-in candidate for a position on the board of the King Conservation District. He has been endorsed by Democratic King County council members Dow Constantine and Larry Phillips.
If you are used to receiving your mail-in ballot to remind you of an election, this one may come as a surprise since you must visit a polling place in order to participate (listed below).
The King Conservation District elects a board member every year at this time in order to fill one of three elected spots.
This agency guides and assists landowners in how to best manage their natural resources, therefore board members should have a strong conservation ethic.
From the KCD website:
Registered voters who reside in King County are eligible to vote with the exception of a few cities not falling within the district’s boundaries: Federal Way, Enumclaw, Skykomish, Milton and Pacific.
In a little-publicized election like this one, a write-in candidate has a good chance of winning if his supporters turn out.
In the 2008 election for this position, only a hundred and ninety six people voted, which means a few people controlled the outcome of that race.
Let’s make sure a true conservationist wins this post this year.

Dow has this to say about Mark:
Mark Sollitto has an excellent record of public service in our community and has long championed the conservation goals that I firmly believe in. While chairing the Snohomish Salmon Recovery Forum, Mark directed the development of a salmon recovery plan that has become a model for watersheds throughout Puget Sound.King County Council Member Larry Phillips has also endorsed Mark:
My friend Mark Sollitto is running as a write-in candidate against an anti CAO, Cedar County property rights activist. Mark brings a proven record of over 30 years of consensus-based, conservation-minded results - he helped protect the 90,000 acre Snoqualmie Forest, Preston Mill, Rock Creek, East Sammamish Trail, Meadowbrook Farm and Cougar Mountain.Due to a technical error, Mark is running as a write-in candidate, so jot down his name for future reference.
