With your help I made it through the primary for Council Position 7! It was a seven-person race, and as of today I have 25.6 %, which puts me in the top two. While this is fewer primary votes than the incumbent, I’m gathering endorsements from other candidates that will help guarantee a competitive general election and hopefully a win in November. I wish to thank the other candidates for position 7 for an excellent race! Also, thank you to my supporters for the great assistance so far, and thank you to Renton voters for your support. Here are the complete results as posted today at 4:00 PM.

Between the possibility that many of those voted for someone other than KKV, they will hopefully put their vote to you in the GE. Plus, the fact that the GE usually sees a higher count of voters. Go Randy.
Congratulations!
