Seattle, we've got to talk.
We live in a gorgeous city,
but unfortunately, our elected leaders
are failing our most vulnerable.
We see it when
we walk through our neighborhoods,
in our parks, and in our downtown streets.
On critical issues like homelessness
and public safety,
city council is making big promises
but delivering few, if any,
measurable results.
It's time for a change,
and I bring the right experience
to make that change happen.
As a former council aide,
I helped pass landmark legislation
to build affordable housing,
increase transit,
and tackled climate change.
As co-founder of Fremont Brewing,
I created a neighborhood business
that's known for taking care of its workers
and giving back to the community.
As your council member,
I'll be a pragmatic progressive,
someone with a plan to get things done,
providing housing for our most vulnerable
while restoring our parks and playgrounds.
And I'll be responsive,
accountable, and transparent.
I have to be blunt with you.
There's a big contrast in this race.
My opponent says that abolishing the police
is the first step in public safety.
I think that's irresponsible.
I strongly support
comprehensive police reform,
but I believe that when you call 911,
you should be able to count on a fast,
effective, and fair response.
That balanced approach has earned me
the support of police reform leaders
like Victoria Beach,
chair of the African American
Community Advisory Council,
and Rev. Harriett Walden,
founder of Mothers for Police Accountability.
I'm also honored to be endorsed
by The Seattle Times,
the Seattle Fire Fighters,
laborers, and Iron Workers unions,
and many more.
I'm in this to solve problems
and rebuild the city we love.
There is hope.
And together we can make Seattle
a place that keeps its promises
to those who need it most.
I'm Sara Nelson, and I ask for your vote.
