Hi. My name is Hamdi Mohamed,
and I'm running to be your next
Port of Seattle Commissioner.
As we recover from COVID-19,
we must rethink our port's policies
and promote transparency, accountability,
and public participation.
My father was a trucker,
my mother was a SeaTac airport worker,
and my husband was an airline employee.
I know firsthand how important it is
that working families are protected.
At the King County Executive office,
I advise on the county's $12 billion budget
and manage initiatives that invest millions
into our small businesses, community organizations,
and COVID-19 response.
I have served on multiple boards
and as the regional organizing director
for President Biden's campaign.
I have the skills, relationships, and expertise
in economic development
to achieve real results for communities
in and around the port.
My priorities include reentry programs
for COVID-19 impacted workers,
establishing the first small business recovery task force,
streamlining our operations at our waterfront,
and improving freight mobility
while creating thousands of jobs.
The Port of Seattle's largest revenue stream
is SeaTac Airport,
located in the heart of South King County.
When elected, I will become the first-ever commissioner
living in South King County.
I am prepared to be a strong voice
for cleaner aviation fuels,
sound installation programs,
and tackling ultra-fine particle pollutions with local leaders.
I am the only candidate endorsed
by all 19 King County Democratic Party organizations
and MLK Labor.
I'm endorsed by Congresswoman Jayapal,
Congressman Smith, King County Executive Constantine,
Attorney General Bob Ferguson,
Commissioner of Public Lands Hilary Franz,
300 organizations, business leaders, and more.
Folks are ready for a regional leader
that will make the port's numerous operations
more accessible and transparent.
I hope to earn your vote.
