King To Run For Re-election

Washington 14th District State Senator Curtis King has announced he will seek another term.  In a prepared statement King said he wants to find a stable source for transportation funding, and deal with education and mental health issues.  King ran unopposed for re-election in 2008 and 2012. To date, no potential challengers have publicly expressed interest in running against him this year.  King is chairman of the Senate Transportation Committee, a position that in recent years has boosted his profile in state politics as lawmakers, the Governor’s Office and business interests have worked to increase funding for roads in the face of falling gas tax revenue.  Last year the Legislature passed a $16.1 billion transportation package that included a gas tax increase of 11.9 cents phased in over two years.
