“I filed as a first time candidate four years ago because authentic representation matters. This means having elected leaders who share our community values, show up, listen, and deliver for us.

I am that leader. I showed up, listened, and delivered. I made sure that everyone has access to our Renton City government and our policy and ordinances are community centered.

Public safety was my primary concern then, and it still is. Because of the increase in anti-Asian sentiment and hate, murder of George Floyd and racism being declared as a public health crisis in King County, and increase in hard drugs in public use and mental health illnesses, I learned that there is much work to do for a city that strives to be inclusive and to have public safety for all.

I’m proud of the progress we have made together as a community, but there is more work to do for a multi-cultural and BIPOC majority city like ours. I want to make sure that 1) public safety is for ALL, 2) equitable economic recovery and growth for businesses devastated by the pandemic and workers, and 3) government fiscal responsibility and transparency. I hope to earn your continued support and vote. Let’s continue on this journey together.”

Local Leaders React to Chauvin Guilty Verdict

April 20, 2021

“George Floyd’s life mattered and Black Lives Matter. Guilty verdicts are steps toward justice, but we cannot expect real change without sustained accountability and commitment to meaningful reform. We must continue our work, not just by acknowledging the existence of systemic racism and bias, but by fighting every day to forever eradicate this impediment to health, justice, and equal opportunity for all.” – Renton City Councilmember and candidate for County Council Kim-Khanh Van
