King County Council Pos #9
 | Beverly Harison Tonda http://beverlyharisontonda.com/ |
Candidate Statement:
I've lived in King County for 50 years, and am second generation Washingtonian. Richard Harison, my ancestor, was the first Attorney General for the state of New York appointed by George Washington. I believe, and I think Richard would agree, that The People have the responsibility to work with their government and at times question it. I serve on the Greater Maple Valley Unincorporated Area Council a long-time voice in our community. I'm concerned for our environment; believe that private property rights must be a priority, and King County should be consistent in how it interprets and applies the codes. My work history includes conflict mediation; I train financial leaders across this great nation, and have the skill set to balance a budget. I volunteer, and have brought issues like Ravensdale Park to the attention of our current leaders. I engage in interfaith dialog, and am a leader in diversity initiatives. I didn't grow up in an affluent family, and like Dr. King I believe that you have to work hard and put your dreams into action when you know you're the right person for the job.

Candidate Statement:
It has been an honor to represent you on the King County Council since 2005.
In my first term, I have opposed unnecessary tax increases and fought for fiscal responsibility and spending priorities. I am proud to have protected public safety, strengthened property rights, increased transparency in taxation and protected thousands of acres of open space.
There is still much to do. King County faces another $50 million deficit in 2010. Others want to raise your taxes to cover this deficit, but I oppose new taxes during this recession because our families are burdened enough. In this economy, King County needs to encourage economic growth that will provide local jobs, not reach for more taxes from you.
Over the next four years, I will strive to reform King County's finances, protect public safety services and improve our quality of life by finding solutions to local problems.
All eight mayors in District 9 have endorsed me and I am rated "Outstanding" by the King County Municipal League. In their endorsement, The Seattle Times describes me as "a cool head...with a sturdy commitment to public safety and a willingness to challenge council groupthink."
I work for you and would appreciate your vote.
