Election 2009: West Seattle events tonight and tomorrow

TONIGHT: Our area’s largest political group, the 34th District Democrats, meets for the last time before the November election (more like an Oct.-Nov. election since voting begins later this week – ballots are to be mailed by the county today). 7 pm at The Hall at Fauntleroy, with speakers scheduled to include King County Council chair/County Executive candidate Dow Constantine and Seattle Port Commission candidate Max Vekich. Agenda details here.

TOMORROW: The West Seattle Candidates’ Forum — citywide candidates for mayor and council, answering West Seattle-geared questions — is Thursday night, 7 pm, Youngstown Arts Center. Here’s our previous report on the plan for the night. And there’s another event at the same time on the other side of the peninsula – Approve Referendum 71 supporters are rallying for an evening of dessert, drinks and fun at The Hall at Fauntleroy, 7 pm Thursday.

What else is going on, you ask? Check the frequently updated West Seattle-wide WSB Events calendar page!

Nice…
.
Dow can make it to a political group-grope, but can’t make it a King County Budget meeting last night in Renton, to hear the concerns from rural King County residents about the budget.
.
Guess he has his priorities set.
.
That is why I’m not voting for him this time.

E-WR

bwt – this is going to be the first time that I haven’t voted for Dow

Dow actually will not be attending tonight but we will be talking with our members about the importance of electing him. Not voting for Dow? Good bye public transportation. Good bye reproductive rights. Good bye fair waged jobs. Good bye public safety. Good bye public health. Good bye KC Ferry District. Good bye competent leadership.
Hello four years of hell and one GIANT leap backwards.
