Each election cycle, our Affordable Housing Council (AHC) interviews candidates at the city, county, and state levels to determine their degree of support for our industry.

The following candidates have received an AHC endorsement for the 2021 election cycle. 

Ballots will be mailed out Wednesday, July 14 and are due Tuesday, August 3. Your vote in support of AHC-endorsed candidates will go a long way toward affecting the outcome of these critical races. 

For dropbox locations, ballot questions, and more, visit King County Elections or Snohomish County Elections.

We took a break from our Painting a Better Tomorrow® volunteer day at YouthCare to talk to their director of community engagement. YouthCare works to help homeless youth become self-sufficient. This year's Painting a Better Tomorrow was sponsored by Capital Benefit Services.
