Thank you to Indivisible Eastside and the Take Action Network for the following action:
There is a national coalition that is gathering support to thank our election heroes on April 12th, who have diligently continued this important work during a time with intense political rhetoric around election integrity. Watch this video to hear from election officials about some of the difficulties they have faced recently: https://www.facebook.com/DFADCoalition/videos/3195954570652491
Across the nation there have been threats to election workers, and attempts to spread lies about the integrity of elections. See the 2021 Election Report (below) for information on the extraordinary work King County Elections did this past year. If you feel inspired, please send a personal Thank You card to King County Elections.
Write to the King County Election Director Julie Wise at:
919 SW Grady Way, Renton, WA 98057
Or Email: [email protected]
Use this sample script or share your own personal sentiment. It’s best to keep wording non-partisan:
“Dear Director Julie Wise and King County Election Staff Heroes,
Our elections are the foundation of our democracy, and your hard work administering them so often goes unacknowledged. I’m writing to thank you for this important work you do, particularly during this time when our elections are under such intense scrutiny. The professionalism and dedication of the staff to this work in King County makes me proud to be a resident of this county.
Thank you so much for your dedication to this important work. You truly are our HEROES!
Sincerely,

King County Voter”
