I work hard for District 1.
Added bus service to Alki, Admiral, and Highland Park,
restoring police Community Service Officers,
keeping the Concord Elementary Learning Center open,
and more hours for Colman Pool.
No issue is too big or small.
I've passed laws against exhaust noise at Alki
and legislation to fix derelict buildings
in Delridge and South Park.
I've worked with Sound Transit
so light rail doesn't tear apart the Junction.
I've increased opportunity.
Better laws for renters and workers
and a green jobs career pathway
so everyone has a place to live and work.
I've gone to the mat
for small businesses all over the city --
from Luna Park and Fauntleroy
to the University District
and the Central District.
I insist on accountability.
When City Hall wanted $1.4 million
to bail out the Pronto! bike company, I said no.
Now downtown's demanding
a First Avenue streetcar.
It's $143 million over budget.
I say, let's invest that money
in real transportation infrastructure.
I'm requiring new oversight
on big construction projects.
Government can't do everything.
We must do the important things and do them well.
On addressing our homelessness crisis,
I led passage of a $29 million bond
to boost affordable housing built in 2018.
We're requiring developers,
for the first time, to pay for
affordable housing that's truly affordable.
I've helped families and seniors pay their bills,
stay in their homes,
and prevent homelessness before it starts.
We must have the political will to do more.
I'm endorsed by MLK Labor,
the King County 34th
and 11th District Democrats,
Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal,
King County council member Joe McDermott,
State Senator Joe Nguyen,
and Seattle council member Lorena González.
I've lived in District 1 for 19 years.
My grandchildren attend
Sanislo Elementary and Chief Sealth High.
I hope I've earned your vote.
