Platform
What do you want our government to do? How do you want our community to grow, change and thrive? That’s who we are and what we’re about. Every two years we go through the Caucus Cycle and hear your voices. What comes from that is our Platform, articulating the values we hold, the legislation we wish to see, and the community we wish to help build.

Resolutions
Resolutions procedure
We want to hear from you. What issues affect your life or your quality of life? While the Platform is developed every two years, things come up year round and we need to know about them and take a position. That’s where our Resolutions come in. Any member can draft and submit a Resolution to the Platform and Resolutions Committee.
If you would like to submit a resolution to the King County Democrats, please follow these procedures:
