-Hi, I'm Port of Seattle commissioner Toshiko Hasegawa,
and I'd be honored to have your vote
for my re-election campaign.
I've drawn on six years
as an agency head in the Inslee administration
to promote job creation and operational excellence.
While governments statewide face budget shortfalls,
the Port of Seattle is in excellent financial condition.
We're delivering on $5.3 billion in capital projects,
creating family wage jobs and contracts for local businesses.
Under my leadership,
we've expanded access to careers for underserved communities
through agreements with labor,
formal partnerships with three tribes,
investments in education, apprenticeships,
and the green jobs initiative.
We've improved our contracting processes
and our policies to increase spend
with minority and women owned businesses.
As a mom, I want all of our children
to inherit an even brighter future.
We must act now.
I introduced the Teal New Deal,
my plan to decarbonize maritime
and activate industrial lands to manufacture,
warehouse and transport clean energy.
This coordination promotes sustainability worldwide
while creating generational jobs locally for the next 50 years.
We also remediate contaminated sites
and opened the Duwamish River People's Park,
where juvenile salmon have since returned.
I'll meet federal threats to our economy
by creating opportunities for people to thrive.
Let's ensure communities countywide benefit
from the $929 million economic boom from FIFA 2026.
My approach works.
The economy, environment and equity advance together.
It's our triple bottom line.
I'm honored to represent you,
and I'd be honored to have your vote.
