Mark Lindquist for Precinct Committee Officer!

My mail-in, King County ballot arrived the other day, and was conspicuously without any candidate for (partisan) Precinct Committee Officer (PCO). No candidate, just a line for write-in. What's a voter to do?

Write in Mark Lindquist, that's what.

Mark is a Colman Triangle stalwart, interested in local politics and neighborhood stabilization. He is active in our community, smart, a Democrat, knows everyone, and he wants the job. Our precint, SEA 37-1854 basically sits within the Colman Triangle boundaries, and has a lot of vacancies on the Precinct Team. Patrick Burns, neighbor on 25th, is currently listed as our PCO, but again, no one is listed on the ballot.

According the the 37th Dems, here's the job description:

Precinct Committee Officers (PCOs) are an integral part of the 37th District’s connection to its members. As PCO, you’ll interact with your neighbors and act as the liaison between them and the district. Not only will you help bring your neighbor’s issues to the district for discussion, but you’ll help with Get Out The Vote (GOTV) efforts and host your local caucus.

I'll be writing in Mark Lindquist for PCO on my primary ballot. Mark will be at Night Out tonight around the neighborhood, as always, over the next couple of weeks if you want to talk with him about why he'd like to be our PCO.

Remember that primary day is August 19, and our polling place is:

OUR LADY OF MOUNT VIRGIN SCHOOL, DOWNSTAIRS AUDITORIUM
2800 S MASSACHUSETTS ST
SEATTLE, WA 98144
