Darcy Burner and Ruth Kagi light up the June Meeting
 Darcy Burner, candidate for the 8th Congressional District spoke passionately about her campaign to unseat Republican Dave Reichert, who has voted to support the Bush Administration 93% of the time on issues ranging from privatizing national parks to reducing veteran's benefits. We, in turn, collected $1,795 to help her campaign, even though we are are not in the 8th District. State Rep. Ruth Kagi (D-32) described her bill, recently enacted into law, creating the new Washington State Department of Early Learning. We also heard about the "Transit Now" bus plan proposed by County Executive Ron Sims for the November ballot. And Sharon Henderson and Michael Taylor (pictured above, right) stepped up to become Precinct Committee Officers. See more news, minutes and photos on the June Meeting Minutes page. Updated June 5th

 Sophie Gringer and Armenian Veterns
Last year longtime 34th PCO and member Jeff Gringer was accepted into the United States Department of State as a foreign service officer. He's been posted to Armenia, but remains a 34th District member. He also plans to start teaching Armenians about how local politics work in the United States. And recently his daughter - and 34th member - Sophie posed with local Armenian military veterans - a photo sent to us just in time for Memorial Day!
