-Hello, everyone. My name is Cathy Moore.
I'm excited to be running to represent
District 5 on the Seattle City Council.
We are a district of dynamic and diverse communities
and small businesses with unique mobility,
safety, and affordability challenges
deserving a strong, experienced leader in City Hall.
I'm a lifelong Seattleite, family business owner,
and mother of three Seattle Public School graduates.
I spent most of my career in the criminal legal system,
most recently as a twice-elected King County Superior
Court judge, and before that as a public defender,
family law attorney, and chair of
the Seattle Human Rights Commission.
In these roles, I have worked on all sides of the complex
health and safety issues facing our communities.
I'm particularly proud of the work I've done
to reform our criminal legal system,
addressing racial bias and disproportionality.
That proven track record of helping vulnerable neighbors,
enacting improved equity and accountability,
and improving public safety is what's needed now
to get measurable results across our communities.
A decade ago, Seattle voters approved
districts to improve on the ground services,
while setting citywide priorities and policies
consistent with our progressive values.
From this lens, I will be a tireless advocate
to get District 5's fair share of investments,
and make progress on citywide issues of safety,
affordability, and opportunity.
I'm proud of my proven record of progressive leadership,
deep roots in our neighborhoods,
and the unique perspectives and experiences
I'll bring to this office.
With your vote and support,
I know we can make progress.
Together, we can get good things done for our neighborhoods
and families, and build the Seattle future
we all deserve.
Thank you.
