King County Council Candidate Forum
Join the Vashon Maury Community Council and the Vashon Island Chamber of Commerce for a candidate forum with Teresa Mosqueda and Sofia Aragon, running for King County Council District 8.
The forum will be held on Monday, June 19th from 5.30pm – 7.30pm at the Presbyterian Church, 17708 Vashon Hwy SW. Candidates will have a chance to introduce themselves, moderators will ask questions, and approximately an hour will be allotted for community questions. The meeting will also be available in hybrid format at the link at the sidebar on this page.
Mosqueda and Aragon are running for the King County Council District 8 seat being vacated by Joe McDermott. A primary will be held August 1, and the general election is November 7. A primary will be necessary, as a third candidate, GoodSpaceGuy, has also filed for District 8. That person has not yet returned calls or emails from the coordinator about the forum.
The King County Council oversees many areas of governance directly affecting Islanders and our quality of life. This forum will be a first chance to get to know the candidates and learn more about their approaches to Vashon’s concerns. We encourage all Islanders to attend to learn more about our next elected representative at the County level.
We acknowledge that Monday, June 19th is Juneteenth, a Federal holiday commemorating the emancipation of enslaved African Americans. On this day in particular, we urge citizens to reflect on emancipation, why it was necessary and how it was won, and to embrace the opportunity to engage in civic activism advancing equity and justice for all in our communities.
