Support to the Municipal League of King County

Your support through membership allows us to research candidates and tackle issues. Specifically, your contribution makes the following happen:                                           

• Candidate Evaluation Committee (CEC). We train citizens to conduct what are basically extensive job interviews with candidates and then rate their capacity to serve. The program involves 75 or more volunteers throughout King County and the results reach tens of thousands of voters.
• Ballot Measures. Citizens come together on our Ballot Issues Committee to review issues facing voters and make recommendations based on the contribution to good government. The committee hears from all sides before presenting a synopsis of the arguments and the rationale for our position -- all of which is distributed via our Web site and local media.
• Monitoring Local Government. In concert with our sister organization, the Municipal League Foundation, we monitor a range of issues at the local level. In 2008, we’re conducting studies on governance of the Port of Seattle, land-use policy and transportation issues such as regional planning and transit in King County.

In addition to the important financial support your membership provides, it also entitles you to:

·         Have a copy of the Candidate Evaluation Report mailed to you

·         Receive our quarterly Muni News newsletter

·         Attend our new series of quarterly members' breakfasts

·         Invitation to our annual Civic Awards

·         Be notified of other community forums we host

Your membership 1) provides the financial support necessary to continue the League's work for better government and to communicate its findings, and 2) strengthens the League’s voice by expanding its active membership. We hope that you will continue to be part of the important work of the League.
