Ready. Set. Vote! King Conservation District (KCD) is holding its annual Board Supervisor election from January 23, through February 13, 2024. Three candidates are vying for the position: Brittney Bush Bollay, Aaron Ellig, and Erik Goheen. Candidate statements can be found at www.kingcd.org/elections.
Like the last four years, the King Conservation District election will primarily rely on electronic ballot access. Voters may return ballots electronically through the online ballot access system or reach out to KCD with alternate options for requesting physical ballots. Democracy Live operates the online ballot access portal and King County Elections will tabulate all ballots and report all results.
KCD is a special purpose district committed to helping people engage in stewardship and conservation of natural resources, serving over two million people in 34 cities and unincorporated King County (excluding the cities of Enumclaw, Federal Way, Milton, Pacific, and Skykomish).
KCD assists private residents with forestry management, streamside and shoreline restoration, farm conservation planning, and other environmental efforts. It works with cities and community organizations to support community gardens, urban forest canopy, and local food systems. KCD is funded primarily by a per-parcel assessment fee.
An all-volunteer, five-member Board of Supervisors is responsible for overseeing KCD operations, budget, and setting policy. Voters elect three supervisors, and the Washington State Conservation Commission appoints two supervisors. Supervisors serve three-year terms.
