I-25 program
The Downtown Seattle Republican Club is hosting a panel discussion this Thursday evening about I-25, the King County initiative to elect the Elections Director.
Panelists include Secretary of State Sam Reed and State Auditor Brian Sonntag, State Rep. Doug Ericksen, King County Councilman Reagan Dunn, elected Auditors Kim Wyman (Thurston County) and Vicky Dalton (Spokane County), Paul Guppy of the Washington Policy Center and Citizens Elections Oversight Committee, and King County Elections Director-nominee Sherril Huff. Phil Bevis is the moderator.
Some of the panelists have already endorsed I-25. In recent years, the King County Elections Office hasn't always made an effort to reach out to a broad range of civic groups. Huff is to be commended for appearing on the panel.
Details of the event are here.

1. This is absurd. Why not elect the coroner, the public health head, the sherrif (err we do thtas stupid thing now).
2. could someone provide any of the links to watch this via web???
3. you misspelled EricksEn's name.
4. Ask Ms. Huff why she only turned over 2 e-mails in response to your records request.
And ask her precisely WHY you received an e-mail she sent from someone else's response....but not hers.
What else is she hiding?
This is precisely why we need an elected Auditor.
The Elected Auditor can at least be voted out if they pull crap like not responding honestly & completely to a legitimate records request.
As a Sims Appointee, she has no accountability to the voters.
PERIOD.
5. It's a start, I doubt Logan would have showed up for this if he was still in his Director position.
6. Is KC the only county in WA that doesn't elect it's auditor? Mine (Clark) is elected...it should be a consistent practice with every county. Maybe this is why balloting discrepancies exist to such an extent in KC.
