-Hello, I'm Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell.
Every Seattle child deserves a strong start in life,
safe and healthy schools and a pathway to college or a career.
That's why we're asking you to renew and expand our Families,
Education, Preschool and Promise Levy,
Proposition 1.
Now, with Prop 1,
we'll double support for affordable childcare,
helping 1,400 families
and stabilizing the childcare workforce.
We will ensure that our youngest learners are ready
for kindergarten and future success.
We'll keep kids healthy
with school-based health clinics in 34 schools,
providing medical care,
behavioral-health support
and safe, nurturing after-school and summer programs.
And we'll invest in college and career readiness
by continuing our Seattle Promise,
which is two years of free tuition at Seattle colleges
for every school graduate,
while also expanding pathways to skilled trades
and family-wage jobs.
That's why I'm proud to stand with the entire City Council,
childcare workers, educators, health advocates,
and businesses all united in support of Prop 1.
So please join us in voting yes on Prop 1,
because every child in every neighborhood
deserves the opportunity to thrive.
Thank you.
