-My name is John Lisbin,
and I'm running for
Seattle City Council District 6
to empower our neighborhoods,
engage all voices,
and bring accountability
back to Council.
On the campaign trail,
I've heard repeatedly
that residents do not feel
as though their current
City Council hears their concerns.
If elected, I'll bring
thoughtful, pragmatic solutions
to tackle the growth-related
issues facing Seattle today.
Our city is expanding rapidly,
yet the City Council
is not managing this growth
in a balanced way.
That's why I co-founded
Seattle Fair Growth,
whose mission is to maintain
Seattle's livability
during this time of rapid growth.
I'm the only candidate in the race
who has worked to appeal the MHA
and called for the City Council
to include the unique needs
of each neighborhood
development plans.
Housing developers must pay to offset
the costs of infrastructure,
parks, and roads.
Seattle residents deserve a voice
in shaping the changes
to their communities,
and policies must ensure
Seattle is livable for all.
The city's response
to homelessness hasn't worked.
People shouldn't be living in the streets,
especially when Seattle's economy
is booming as never before.
As an entrepreneur
and former small-business owner,
I understand that investments now
will save money later.
We need proven solutions
for homelessness
like the Housing First model
and disrupting the cycle of homelessness
before it starts
through rental vouchers,
transitional housing,
job training,
and domestic-violence support programs.
Every day, we see the evidence
that what the Council is doing
isn't working.
The time for action is now,
and I'm prepared to roll up my sleeves
and get to work.
My name is Jon Lisbin,
and I would be honored
to earn your vote
for Seattle City Council
District 6.
