-I'm Teresa Mosqueda,
running for King County Council District 8.
I'm running for the county because it is the place
to be to improve population health,
workforce housing, and invest in child care,
transit, and job-training opportunities.
At Seattle City Council, I've built broad coalitions
and delivered on progressive and transformational change.
I led the efforts on progressive revenue,
affordable housing, community safety investments,
small business supports,
and groundbreaking worker protections
through my now six years in office.
And as your King County Councilmember,
I will work to improve community health,
access to housing and greater shared prosperity
for both workers and small businesses.
I'm committed to addressing the compounding
public health crises of violence,
behavioral health, and substance abuse issues
by increasing support for upstream investments,
increasing support for our public health workforce,
and implementing the new crisis care levy
that I proudly helped craft last year.
I will expedite solutions to fund and grow housing,
to prevent displacement and reduce sprawl.
With reduced car emissions and global warming,
this is not only good for our climate,
it's good for our local economy and individual health.
I will work to create economic opportunity for all
by investing in child care workers
and improved affordability.
I'll invest in transit workers and enhanced accessibility,
and in job training and union apprenticeships for more workers
to have economic security.
I am proudly endorsed by U.S. Rep. Pramila Jayapal,
Attorney General Bob Ferguson,
King County Executive Dow Constantine,
Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell,
and all of the endorsing unions that have endorsed
for King County Council District 8 have endorsed me.
Thanks to the 33rd,
the 11th and the 37th Legislative District Democrats
who have endorsed me,
along with Washington Conservation Action
and Northwest Women's Political Caucus.
Please join us.
