The Municipal League of King County’s mission is to promote government that is open, effective and accountable, and to improve the caliber of public officials and the quality of public decisions.

Description:
Our key programs include:

• Candidate Evaluation Committee (CEC). We train citizens to conduct what are basically extensive job interviews with candidates and then rate their capacity to serve. The program involves 75 or more volunteers throughout King County and the results reach tens of thousands of voters.
  
  
• Ballot Measures. Citizens come together on our Ballot Issues Committee to review issues facing voters and make recommendations based on the contribution to good government. The committee hears from all sides before presenting a synopsis of the arguments and the rationale for our position -- all of which is distributed via our Web site and local media.
  
  
• Monitoring Local Government. In concert with our sister organization, the Municipal League Foundation, we monitor a range of issues at the local level. In 2008, we’re conducting studies on governance of the Port of Seattle, land-use policy and transportation issues such as regional planning and transit in King County.
