My name is Paul Felipe Glumaz.
I was born in Mexico
and have lived in Seattle for 41 years.
I am running for Seattle City Council Position 8
in order to stop the transformation
of the city that I love
into an impoverished, crime-ridden,
and drug-infested slum.
I'm doing this because no other candidate
has come forward to say what must be said
or to exhibit the personal courage
and commitment to do what is needed to be done.
The primary cause of this transformation
of Seattle is a combination
of wrong policies and gross mismanagement
by the current city council.
This includes the defunding of law enforcement
and enabling nonprofits
to promote a growing
billion dollar a year
homeless industrial complex,
replete with safe injection sites
and free drugs.
My first priority is to restore to Seattle
a fully-funded public safety system.
This includes creating the conditions
where the homeless are forced off the streets
into emergency transitional shelters.
From there, the individual problems
of the homeless person can be defined
and that person can be forwarded
to substance abuse treatment,
psychological care, or work counseling.
The future of the Seattle area
rests on building an advanced
21st-century science and technology
manufacturing hub for the world.
Unfortunately, Seattle's future
has been severely jeopardized
by the current city council.
If you want a future for Seattle,
vote Paul Felipe Glumaz, Position 8.
