The Municipal League of King County released its ratings of candidates in King County legislative and judicial races Tuesday. The Municipal League is a nonpartisan volunteer group dedicated to keeping government open and effective.
Ratings ranged from "Not Qualified" to "Outstanding" with "Adequate", "Good", and "Very Good" between them. Most candidates received at least a "Good" rating, with just under ten percent of all 85 candidates reviewed achieving the level of "Outstanding".
Within Seattle's highly contested Democratic races, 46th Legislative District's Gerry Pollet and Scott White both received the rating of "Good". In LD36, Reuven Carlyle was rated "Excellent" and party nominee John Burbank was considered "Good".
Full list of ratings are found here.
