-Hello, I'm Tanya Woo
and I'm running to be your City Council member.
For generations,
my family has lived, worked, and served
in all areas of Seattle.
I grew up in Beacon Hill,
worked at my family business
in the Chinatown International District,
and now live in Rainier Valley.
My story is the story of Seattle.
My deep roots here drive my passion
to make Seattle a city where everyone can thrive.
This election is about choosing a new path forward.
Do we continue with policies
that have left our communities vulnerable,
or do we embrace innovative, compassionate,
and effective solutions?
My commitment to you is clear.
I will fight for a safer, more inclusive Seattle
where every voice is heard
and every resident has the opportunity to succeed.
Public safety is my priority
and it requires balance and innovation.
Every week, I work alongside first responders
and my housed and unhoused neighbors,
practicing a model of alternative policing
that puts community first.
This hands-on experience shapes my vision
for a city that doesn't just respond to crisis,
but actively prevents them
through thoughtful, forward-thinking strategies.
I've led efforts to expand our community safety net
by supporting police where they're needed,
while investing in alternatives like the CARE Team
and proven diversion programs like LEAD.
These initiatives work by addressing root causes.
Housing affordability is another cornerstone of my campaign.
As the only candidate who has built affordable housing,
I've seen firsthand the impact
that safe, accessible housing can have on a community.
I know we can create more affordable housing options
for everyone, from seniors to working families,
so that we can keep our diverse communities together
and allow every Seattleite to build a future.
Over the past year, I've spoken to thousands of people
and Seattle is at a crossroads.
We must move forward with bold leadership.
I'm Tanya Woo and I would be honored to have your vote.
