There is still so much work ahead — on affordability, housing, transit, public safety, climate resilience, and making sure local government is responsive and effective for the people who rely on it every day. I’m excited and ready to keep doing the work together.

As filing week came to a close, I also learned that I am running unopposed for re-election to the King County Council. It is an honor to serve District 6, and know that I will continue to serve with the commitment, energy, and accountability that this role deserves.

That broad coalition means so much to me because it reflects how I’ve always tried to lead: by bringing people together, doing the hard work, and staying focused on delivering real results for our communities. Thank you to everyone who contributed. I truly do not take it for granted.

Claudia Balducci for King County @claudiaforkc.bsky.social · 15/05/2026

In the room I saw people from every part of KC and every part of my life in public service — labor leaders, housing advocates, transit champions, business owners, arts & culture leaders, parks champions, community partners, friends, neighbors, and people who care deeply about making government work.

Last week’s kickoff was one of those moments that leaves you feeling deeply grateful.

These endorsements reflect what I believe: we get the best results when we work together. I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished—and ready to keep building on it for District 6.

I’m so thankful for the growing coalition supporting this campaign, including labor partners, environmental advocates, and community leaders who care deeply about making progress for our region.

Claudia Balducci for King County @claudiaforkc.bsky.social · 02/04/2026

This project exemplifies how local government can dramatically improve people's lives when we do our job - delivering real connections, real access, and real opportunity. And we did it! My deepest gratitude to all everyone who made this all possible. I'm excited for what we can do together next!

This weekend, Victor, who is now 20, and I stood together and watched that idea become real. I've spent the better part of my professional life working, and sometimes fighting, to make this happen. You could say this train is my "other baby" :)

Claudia Balducci for King County @claudiaforkc.bsky.social · 02/04/2026

From concept to reality - almost 20 years in the making! Light rail across the lake is now here! In 2008, when we started working on this project, our kiddo Victor was little, and light rail across Lake Washington was still just an idea.

Claudia Balducci for King County @claudiaforkc.bsky.social · 18/03/2026

That’s the approach I’ve fought to bring to my time on the Council, working with cities, community partners, and advocates to move solutions forward. There’s more to do, and I’m committed to continuing that work.

Claudia Balducci for King County @claudiaforkc.bsky.social · 18/03/2026

The challenges we’re facing — housing affordability, homelessness, and keeping our region moving — are complex. They require persistence, partnership, and a willingness to stay in the work until we see real results.

Claudia Balducci for King County @claudiaforkc.bsky.social · 18/03/2026

I’m excited to share that I’ve received an early endorsement from @theurbanist.org! In their endorsement, they wrote: “Balducci is the kind of leader we look to in tough times.” I don’t take that lightly. Read the Urbanist’s full endorsement write-up here: www.theurbanist.org/urbanist-ele...

Claudia Balducci for King County @claudiaforkc.bsky.social · 12/03/2026

I’ll keep fighting for the values we share, from protecting reproductive freedom to standing with immigrant communities, and will keep working every day to make sure local government delivers for all our communities.

Thank you to the 48th Legislative District Democrats for your early endorsement and continued support! As a proud lifelong Democrat—and long-time member of the 48th before redistricting—I’m honored by your trust.

Claudia Balducci for King County @claudiaforkc.bsky.social · 27/02/2026

Being your Councilmember means more than casting votes. It means showing up, driving progress, and standing with our community in moments of celebration and reflection. I’ll keep showing up for District 6. #ReElectClaudia

I’m grateful to everyone helping prepare neighborhoods, small businesses, and riders for what comes next. Mark your calendars for March 28th and join me when we finally connect Eastside light rail to Seattle and the rest of our regional transit system!

Claudia Balducci for King County @claudiaforkc.bsky.social · 27/02/2026

I was also excited to see partners out and about educating the public about how to ride transit, specifically, the light rail line opening across Lake Washington next month! I’ve been a proud part of this project from the beginning, and after years of work, this milestone is nearly here.

This year, I visited the Japanese American Legacy Bridge in Bellevue, a project I was proud to champion and which stands as a reminder of what happens when fear overrides our values — and why we must always defend civil rights and one another. nwasianweekly.com/2025/10/clau...

I celebrated Lunar New Year at several events, honoring traditions that strengthen our community. In addition to enjoying cultural performances, great food, and time with family & friends, Lunar New Year is a reminder that our cultural diversity makes our County such a dynamic place to live.

Several events this month reminded me of what public service is really about.

Workers keep our county running, and they deserve leadership that has their back. I’ve partnered with labor to build major infrastructure, protect frontline workers, and create pathways to family-wage jobs. Together, we’ll keep building a King County that works for the people who make it work.

Claudia Balducci for King County @claudiaforkc.bsky.social · 12/02/2026

* Safer communities — with proven approaches that make public spaces, including transit, safe and welcoming.   * A county government that works — transparent, fiscally responsible, and accountable to you. This work matters deeply to me, and I’m ready to keep delivering for you.

Claudia Balducci for King County @claudiaforkc.bsky.social · 12/02/2026

I’m running again to keep fighting for: * Affordable housing — so everyone can call East King County home.   * Reliable, connected transit — finishing what we started while strengthening bus and rail service across the region.

Claudia Balducci for King County @claudiaforkc.bsky.social · 12/02/2026

But we also face serious challenges. We must tackle affordability, confront the climate crisis, and keep our communities safe and connected.

Claudia Balducci for King County @claudiaforkc.bsky.social · 12/02/2026

I’m excited to share that I’m running for re-election to the King County Council! Together, we’ve made real progress — delivering light rail, opening the Eastside’s first permanent shelters, and securing major investments in housing, environmental protection, education, and arts and culture.

Claudia Balducci for King County @claudiaforkc.bsky.social · 08/11/2025

Know that what we accomplished doesn't end here. I am committed to carrying this momentum and work forward. There is so much we will still do together – and I look forward to standing and working with you on what comes next.

Our message was simple: government has to work! That means delivering on affordable housing, high quality public transit, public safety, and more. It's a message that resonated throughout all corners of King County and one that I’ll continue to work toward every day.

With most ballots in, it is clear my colleague Girmay Zahilay has been elected as the next Exec. I called to congratulate and wish him all the best as he begins to transition into this important role. The success of KC depends on his success as Exec, and as a continuing CM I am committed to both.

There’s a reason Mayor Curtis & 18 other mayors across KC endorse Claudia. They’ve seen firsthand that she shows up, does the work, and always puts people over politics. She doesn’t seek the spotlight. She seeks solutions. And that’s the kind of leadership we deserve. Vote Balducci by Nov 4th!
