Ken Smith was the District 2 representative on the Northshore Board of Directors in Washington. Smith won his first term in the seat in the general election on November 3, 2015, and resigned from the board in March 2017 in order to run for the Washington State Senate.[1][2]
Elections
2015
Two of the five seats on the Northshore Board of Directors were up for election in 2015. District 2 incumbent Janet Quinn and District 3 incumbent Dawn McCravey's seats were up for election, but neither incumbent filed to run in this election.[1]
David Cogan, Isaac Parsons and Berta Phillips vied for the open District 3 position. Because more than two candidates filed for the District 3 race, a primary election was held for that seat on August 4, 2015. Cogen and Phillips advanced to the general election, which Cogan won.[1]
John Harley Hammond and Ken Smith also appeared on the general election ballot for the District 2 race.[1] Smith won that race.
