About Sarah Perry

Sarah Perry was a politician.

Sarah Perry is an American politician elected to the King County Council in 2022. Before running for office, Perry worked at various nonprofits and nongovernmental organizations, including Eastside Housing and Seattle University.

King County Council 2021 election In her fifth reelection bid, Republican incumbent Kathy Lambert faced two challengers, Perry and lawyer Joe Cohen. Perry focused her campaign on targeted urban growth while protecting farmlands, greater access to public transit, and economic support for small businesses.

During the general election, Lambert sent an election mailer to constituents, which portrayed Perry as a marionette controlled by councilmember Girmay Zahilay and accused her of "bringing radical Seattle policies to the Eastside." The mailer was condemned as racist and many of Lambert's supporters and donors withdrew their support, such as the Seattle Mariners who announced they donated $1,000 to Perry after condemning the mailer. Lambert at first defended the mailer saying the mailer was meant to highlight the differences between her and Perry, but then apologized saying, "This message is certainly not what was intended."

Perry defeated Lambert 55.81% to 43.86% in the November general election.
