King County Executive Constantine Announces 2021 Re-Election Bid

SEATTLE — Dow Constantine, the King County Executive since 2009, will seek re-election next year when he will continue to focus on a number of social and economic issues facing the region as the ongoing coronavirus pandemic continues in the midst of challenges that Constantine characterizes as unprecedented.

Constantine is expected to officially announce he will again seek the office at a Zoom event Monday night. In a news release Monday, Constantine said will continue to focus on community health and safety, housing and homelessness along with a number of other vital concerns facing King County on both a short-term and long-term basis, including improving improved public transportation service around the region and fighting systemic racism.

Constantine will continue to do so, he said, amid the pandemic as the wait for implementation of a vaccine continues at a time when positive cases of the virus continues to surge both around Washington and the United States.

“We will use this unprecedented moment to rebuild and create a fairer, more just society,” Constantine said in the news release.
