Learn More about: Governor Christopher Bhang
My name is Chris Bhang (he/him). I am a proud Japanese and Korean American and current governor at-large. I am a public servant and work for King County Metro, leading civil rights programming for all its 6,000 employees and millions of customers and riders.  And like many of you, I am a zealous advocate who swore an oath to support the constitutions of the State of Washington and these United States.
During these unprecedented times, the unconstitutional attacks on our profession must be unequivocally condemned as plainly un-American and dangerous. I am proud to have joined with the other governors to defend the rule of law and to lead with the courage to say that diversity, equity, and inclusion are values that we will not abandon.
As a practiced leader in civil rights, I will continue to work collaboratively and creatively on the Board of Governors towards equitable and legally defeasible outcomes for historically underrepresented and disenfranchised communities.
I would be honored to continue serving on the Board of Governors into 2026, and I hope to hear from many of you with the comments, concerns, questions, and ideas you may have for moving this important work forward. Thank you.
