Q&A: King County executive
Editor's note: Today's online Q&A had been scheduled to include King County Executive Ron Sims, Democrat, and King County Councilman David Irons, Republican. We learned shortly before noon that Irons would not be taking part. Instead, his council office said, he would be in budget meetings.
Democrat King County Executive Ron Sims, seeking his third full term in the Nov. 8 election, is being challenged by Republican King County Councilman David Irons and Green Party candidate Gentry Lange.
Irons is running closer than many observers expected, as the race focuses, in part, on controversies such as Sims' handling of problems at the county elections office.
Sims answered a selection of your questions during an online Q&A. Irons, who was scheduled to participate, canceled.
