Safe & Healthy
Communities

Public safety is the foundation of a strong, healthy community. In King County, we need safe streets, reliable emergency services, and alternatives like mental health support and crisis response teams and centers. It must be a holistic approach where community members' lived experiences, environment and the arts, and impacted communities are centered in our policies. Real safety means prevention, support, and protection for everyone.

Opportunity
For All

South King County communities of

District 5 deserves opportunities and a strong economy that works for everyone. That means good jobs, fair wages, and making sure our communities get their fair share, so workers and families can afford food, gas, transportation, homes, healthcare, and education without stress. By investing in small businesses and gig workers, workforce training, and smart policies, we can build an economy that lifts everybody up.

Transparency
& Co-Governing

Public trust begins with government transparency. Our South King County communities must have accessible information and opportunities to co-govern. Government works best when everyone has a voice. That means being open about decisions, spending, and policies. It also means working together—leaders listening to the community, making choices with the people to move our shared future forward.

Meet Kim-Khanh:

I was born in Vietnam and raised by a mother who believed my siblings and I deserved a better life, free of violence. At age six, my family fled to a refugee camp in the Philippines, enduring harsh conditions and limited food. Eventually, our hopes were answered, and we resettled in King County with the help of a local non-profit. We worked multiple jobs to make ends meet, and I helped support my family as a tutor and part-time janitor.

I became the first in my family to graduate from college and law school, earning my degrees from the University of Washington and the University of Dayton. Now, as an immigration attorney and Renton City Councilmember for the past 6 years, I focus on inclusion and equity, advocating for workers, vulnerable families, seniors, and small businesses. I also volunteer to support veterans and our community, striving to ensure everyone feels valued and supported.
