League of Women Voters offers Council Candidate Forum July 17 (WU-517)

Wondering who to vote for in our upcoming primary? The League of Women Voters can help! Come check it out: meet City Council candidates Kol Medina, Ashley Mathews, and Kevin Fetterly Wednesday, July 17th, 6:30 pm at City Hall.

Founded almost 100 years ago, the League of women voters (LWV) is a non-partisan political organization which does not support or oppose any candidate or political party, but works solely to ensure voters are registered, encouraged, and informed.

Listen here as LWV Kitsap’s Maurie Louis tells us about the League, about the four candidate forums being held in Kitsap County before the August 6 primary, and how you can participate in this vital event or watch after the fact via BKAT-TV.

For more information, visit LWV-Kitsap.org.

Land Acknowledgment

“Every part of this soil is sacred in the estimation of my people. Every hillside, every valley, every plain and grove, has been hallowed by some sad or happy event in days long vanished.” – Chief Seattle 1854

We would like to begin by acknowledging that the land on which we gather is within the ancestral territory of the suq̀ʷabš “People of Clear Salt Water” (Suquamish People). Expert fisherman, canoe builders and basket weavers, the suq̀ʷabš live in harmony with the lands and waterways along Washington’s Central Salish Sea as they have for thousands of years. Here, the suq̀ʷabš live and protect the land and waters of their ancestors.
