We are a non-partisan coalition determined to get representation for every neighborhood in our city.
The City of Kent is exclusively represented by "At-Large" councilmembers. This means that each city councilmember is elected by voters throughout the entire city, rather than individual districts.
Right now, certain neighborhoods have more influence on city elections. Read about it in the Kent Reporter!
We think every neighborhood should have a say in our city!
To make neighborhood representation possible, we need to collect enough signatures to get our initiative on the ballot. Find out about how to help below!
We are now collecting signatures to create voting districts in Kent!
We need 10,572 Kent voters to sign our petition!
We're going door-to-door, hosting events, standing at bus stops and grocery stores and helping people understand our campaign! Can you help?
"Districts would indeed bring more geographic diversity and likely give constituents greater access to their representatives, whether it’s engaging with them at a chance encounter at a neighborhood store, or running across them during an afternoon walk."
