Statement from King County Executive Dow Constantine

King County Executive
Dow Constantine
This election has been one of the most divisive in our history, and I recognize that many of us are feeling anxious about the future of our democracy, our nation and our world.

Let me be clear: King County will remain steadfast in advancing the values we share — basic American values — of freedom, of personal autonomy, of opportunity and of duty to our nation, world and fellow human beings. 

Today, and every day, we reaffirm our values:
  • Preserving fundamental rights and freedoms.
  • Ensuring that every person can fulfill their potential.
  • Welcoming those who seek refuge from war and tyranny.
  • Fighting to save and restore the planet we share.
For many of us, this is a time to grieve. Let us take that time. And then, together, let us gather our strength and move forward with purpose and unity.

  1. Before we "grieve" about election results perhaps we should grieve about the unfortunate state our city and state is in due to our current leadership at a county and state level

  2. So many weak-minded people that cannot handle reality. It is no wonder the term 'snowflake' was created.
