"This is History."

- President Barack Obama, November 7, 2009.

Just over a year ago, we came together and elected Barack Obama as President of the United States. What a year this has been. Just this weekend, the House passed a heath insurance reform plan. Last month, one of our State Representatives, Maralyn Chase was appointed to a White House task-force on climate change. Imagine what can happen in year two of Obama's Presidency for the residents of the 32nd Legislative District.

We are also excited about the election results (King) (Snohomish) from Tuesday. Residents in the district soundly defeated Initiative 1033 and approved R-71. We helped elect Dow Constantine as King County Executive, as well as many of our endorsed candidates.

As a district, we are looking ahead to our next challenges.
The 32nd District will soon encompass a large portion of the City of Kirkland. Next year, we are charged with adopting a new platform - a task that we begin at our District meeting on Wednesday, as we seek to identify our own Democratic values.

We seek to represent every self-identified Democrat in the 32nd District, and want our platform to reflect your values. Please stop by Wednesday evening at the American Legion Hall in Shoreline and tell us why YOU are a Democrat.
