Balducci applauds key investments to benefit Eastside residents in supplemental budget, including housing, meal services, sexual assault survivor resources, gun violence prevention and response, and more
“I’m pleased that this budget includes critical investments in the everyday services that people depend on — providing nutrition and community for seniors in need, sheltering and building independence for homeless families, and supporting survivors of sexual assault. By supporting trusted organizations like Catholic Community Services, Acres of Diamonds, and King County Sexual Assault Resource Center we shore up the basics in a time of high need, focusing our resources on supporting our most vulnerable residents with reliable services.”

Balducci would aim to end traffic deaths with ‘Safe System’ policy in King County
“The cost of doing nothing in the face of skyrocketing traffic death and serious injuries is more suffering, more grief, more loss of human life. This is unacceptable, especially when we have the tools to make our streets safer even when human error occurs. King County has an important role to play in making our transportation system safer and I am proud to introduce this motion to ensure we are doing our part to eradicate serious injury and deaths in King County."
