Reorganizing for 2027-2028

Every two years after the November election the King County Democrats reorganize. Our newly elected Precinct Committee Officers take office on December 1, 2026. We will meet online on Sunday, December 13 to elect KCD’s officers for the 2027-2028 term. The welcome and PCO swearing-in by King County Executive Girmay Zahilay start at 12:30 PM, and the reorganization, chaired by Councilmember Claudia Balducci, starts at 1:00 PM. Register for the Zoom meeting.

Offices up for election: County Chair; First Vice-Chair; Vice-Chair for Communications; Vice-Chair for Outreach; Vice-Chair for Fundraising; Secretary; Treasurer; and two State Committee Members who represent King County at the Washington State Democratic Central Committee.

Run for office. We want a leadership team that reflects the whole county. Come to the officer interest meeting on Thursday, November 19 at 6:30 PM (register). Nominations open November 19 at noon. File with a candidate statement by December 7 at 11:59 PM to appear on the website and candidate slide deck. Our bylaws require gender balance among the Chair and vice-chairs and between the two State Committee Members.

Meet the candidates. Candidates are presented at the PCO meeting on Tuesday, December 8 at 7:00 PM (register), the candidate forum on Thursday, December 10 at 6:30 PM (register), and a second reorg training on Saturday, December 12 at 11:00 AM (register).

Who votes. PCOs elected in 2026 vote at the reorganization meeting. Each receives a welcome letter with a voting code and must attend online to vote. Join at noon and plan for at least 3 hours.

What’s next. Legislative district organizations hold their reorganization meetings in January. Not a PCO? Become one in your open precinct. Apply here starting in February 2027.

The meeting rules, agenda and nominees will be posted on this page as they’re finalized.
