WHITE CENTER, Wash. - Three-term incumbent King County Executive Dow Constantine has a serious challenger to his re-election bid this year: State Sen. Joe Nguyen is running for the county s top job.
Nguyen, a West Seattle Democrat, made the announcement in a video release Tuesday. Politics should be about people, not careers, and it’s increasingly clear that governments run by transactional politicians do not serve communities, Nguyen said in a news release. Decisions from the top down are easy but they do not solve real and systemic problems. Engaging communities, being mindful of the people you serve, adjusting systems and behaviors to accommodate the people you work for that’s good governing.
