Dear Precinct Committee Officer:
Congratulations on your election as a Democratic Precinct Committee Officer (PCO) for the 2015-2016 term and thank you for signing on to the most important position in the Democratic Party. Two of your first opportunities will be to elect the leadership of the King County Democratic Central Committee (KCDCC) and of your own Legislative District organization.
The King County re-organization meeting will be on:
Saturday, December 6, 2014
King County Democratic Central Committee Reorganization
8:30 am registration — 9:00 am call to order
Aerospace Machinists Union Hall

Your district, the 11th Legislative District will be having its reorganization meeting on:
Tuesday, January 20, 2015
7:00 PM call to orderRenton Carpenters Hall
231 Burnett Avenue North, Renton, WA
The proposed agenda and rules for the KCDCC reorganization are posted on our website, as are the proposed agenda and rules for the individual LD reorganization meetings.
Each of the District meetings will be convened by either the new King County Chair or his/her designated appointee, who will preside until the election of your next District chair, provide for the sign-in of your district’s PCOs, and make any necessary customizations to your meeting agenda (since not every District has the same set of officers to elect).
Re-organizations are a great opportunity to meet and greet other PCOs, Party members and leaders, and our elected officials. Aside from the usual cascade of local elections, the upcoming term will see elections for all of our state-wide offices and an open US Presidential caucus. We will need to hit the ground running.
Let’s Build, Let’s Grow, Let’s WIN
Yours in service,
Karl de Jong
KCDCC Chair

Dear 11th LD,
On Tuesday, we are entertaining the endorsement of City of Seattle ballot measure Proposition 1 Numbers 1A and 1B – regarding Pre-K instruction/programs.
In this post, you’ll find information from King County elections (below) and from each campaign (attached). I’m sending this to you in advance of our meeting so that you may take time to educate yourself on both propositions.
We will break the measure into its two parts: the first to decide if we support either measure should be enacted into law; the second to decide which one(s), if either, we support.
We will hear from both sides, have the opportunity for members to speak for and against each proposal, and then vote. 2/3 of those present and voting will be required to pass. If neither Prop 1A or Prop 1B receives 2/3, we will entertain a dual endorsement. If the dual does not receive 2/3, we will not take a position on the measure.
INFORMATION from King County Elections
Simple Majority as to the first question; if first question is approved, then the option with the most votes as to second question (Seattle City Charter, article IV)
Proposition 1A (submitted by Initiative Petition No. 107) and Proposition 1B (alternative proposed by the City Council and Mayor) concern early learning programs and providers of such services for children.
Proposition 1A (Initiative 107) would establish a $15 minimum wage for childcare workers (phased in over three years for employers with under 250 employees); seek to reduce childcare costs to 10% or less of family income; prohibit violent felons from providing professional childcare; require enhanced training and certification through a training institute; create a workforce board and establish a fund to help providers meet standards; and hire an organization to facilitate communication between the City and childcare workers.
As an alternative, the Seattle City Council and Mayor have proposed Proposition 1B (Ordinance 124509), which would fund the four-year initial phase of a City early learning program with the goal of developing a widely-available, affordable, licensed, and voluntary preschool option.
The Ordinance requires support, training and certification for teachers.
The program uses research-based strategies, includes evaluation of results, and provides tuition support. This proposition authorizes regular property taxes above RCW 84.55 limits, allowing additional 2015 collection of up to $14,566,630 (approximately 11¢ per $1,000 assessed value), totaling $58,266,518 over four years.
