-It's been an honor to serve as your councilmember.
And I'm running again so that, together, we can continue
building a future that includes all of us.
I've got the experience to organize
community-centered approaches and secure investments to match.
We delivered on our values rather than simply profess them.
My office has a proven track record of progressive action.
We committed to investing
in historically underfunded schools,
so we provided mental health funding
for our South End schools.
We said we'd prevent displacement,
so we won tenant protections, monumental worker protections
like paid sick leave for gig workers,
and secured rent control for our small businesses.
I secured permanent funding for community driven development
and for the Green New Deal.
And all of this when times were really difficult.
Let's advance these wins even further.
I envision housing abundance and vibrant small businesses
within reach of all generations,
who can stay rooted in their community.
Children with full stomachs,
single mothers with full wallets,
community networks preventing violence
rather than just reacting to it.
And I've just begun building alternatives
to punishment and incarceration,
especially for our Black and Brown neighbors
who suffer from the paradox of overpolicing
and under-policing.
Let's deepen our investments in care and shared prosperity.
We all deserve to feel safe in our neighborhoods.
And as a mom with two kids in Seattle Public Schools,
it's important to me that all our children are safe,
whether they're walking to school or enjoying the park.
We've only just begun that work
by investing resources in District 2
that we need to improve our community health,
our joy, and safety.
Thank you for getting me here.
I hope to continue serving
the vibrant communities of District 2.
We're proudly endorsed by MLK Labor,
the 37th District Democrats, Progreso Latino,
Working Families Party, Rep. Jayapal,
State Sen. Saldaña, and dozens of others.
I hope to have your support, too.
