A just, equitable, and thriving Seattle
is possible, but we must come together
with a common purpose to make it a reality.
City Hall politicians have tried and failed
to address the crises our city faces,
especially on homelessness.
We need new leadership with a fresh perspective
but also a proven track record
of delivering real results.
I'm Jessyn Farrell, the only candidate
with the proven ability to bridge divides
and build the coalitions needed
to tackle our toughest problems.
As executive director of the nonprofit
Transportation Choices Coalition,
I helped transform mass transit
in the Puget Sound region.
As a state legislator, I worked to improve
people's lives by leading and passing
landmark paid family leave,
creating more affordable housing,
and securing billions for light rail expansion,
all while dealing with
a Republican-controlled Senate.
Governor Inslee chose me to lead
the state's COVID Economic Recovery Task Force
for a reason.
I know how to solve problems.
Under my leadership, we secured $50 million
for small businesses
left out of federal pandemic relief.
As a single mom with three kids in public schools,
I understand the urgent need
to better support working families.
I'll make sure every kid in every neighborhood
has safe parks, streets, and sidewalks
and is free from the threat of gun violence.
I'll prioritize adding all types of housing,
including services, ensuring people can access
the mental and health treatments they need
and get help finding work.
I'll build 70,000 more affordable homes
and get the city back on track
delivering basic services.
I'm proud to be endorsed
by progressive elected officials,
small-business owners, and community leaders.
I'm a born-and-raised Seattleite,
attended Shoreline Public Schools,
and went on to the UW
and then to law school.
If you, like me, are tired of excuses
and empty promises and want a leader
who will hit the ground running,
stop the infighting, and deliver results,
then I hope you will vote for me
to be your next mayor.
