Lynnwoods Josh Binda allegedly stated false information in voters pamphlet

Lynnwood City Councilmember Josh Binda seeks reelection to his Position 3 seat, facing allegations of misrepresenting his educational qualifications in the voters pamphlet. He claimed to have a bachelor’s degree in business management from Western Governor’s University, yet enrollment records indicate he has not graduated. Binda provided proof of completed courses and intends to apply for graduation after the November 4 election. Further scrutiny reveals no record of his attendance at the University of Washington, where he claimed to have studied business and political science. His campaign website also featured a misleading endorsement from a labor union, which he later corrected.

Binda characterized the accusations as false and stated that Lynnwood Times has previously attempted to spread misinformation about him. He maintains that he has evidence of his educational credentials and prefers to focus on community issues rather than engage with the allegations. The outcome of this election could impact local governance and community trust in elected officials.
