Brian’s Message to Washington voters: I am truly grateful for the strong support from voters across the state. To receive more votes than any other candidate is humbling and means a lot to me. It reflects the trust and confidence that citizens have placed in me and the work of our Office. I take that trust very seriously, and I will continue to ensure that your government is accountable to you. I define accountability as a government that is open, accessible, responsive and responsible and a government that listens to people and tells them the truth. Thanks again for your support. I look forward to continue to serve you.
Brian on Seattle magazine's list of Most Influential People Seattle magazine has named Brian as one of its Most Influential People of 2008. In its October issue, the magazine said its list reflected a variety of people who are "changing the landscape" and who are at the heart of conversations in Seattle and throughout the Puget Sound region. It the marked the fifth year Seattle magazine has compiled the list. Brian's selection was based on his "fearless" approach to holding government agencies accountability to citizens of Washington state, magazine editors said. It cited his Office's audits of the state Department of Transportation and the Port of Seattle. According to the magazine, "with Sonntag's continuing efforts, cronyism had better move to another state."
