#TheDayWithTrae - Claudia Balducci, a King County Executive candidate, recently appeared on "The Day with Trae" to discuss her background and platform as she gears up for the upcoming election in November. Her public service career spans from neighborhood advocacy to the Bellevue City Council, where she served as mayor, and now her third term on the King County Council. With over 25 years of experience working for King County, including leading the Department of Adult and Juvenile Detention, Balducci is motivated by a desire to improve lives through effective public service.

Balducci's top priorities are housing, transportation, and public safety. She aims to ensure affordable housing and complete the high-capacity transit system to foster inclusive communities. In public safety, she advocates for a comprehensive approach combining prevention, human services investment, and accountability for violent crime, noting that 86% of funding goes to addressing offenses while only 14% supports crime survivors.

To address King County's diverse needs, Balducci holds Saturday morning coffees and engages with community groups. Campaigning on her ability to deliver from concept to implementation, she committed to incorporating the voices of public safety advocates and crime survivors into her administration.
