Alex Hudson completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2023. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Hudson's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- Addressing the housing and homelessness crisis. I will take on the government created housing crisis with urgency and have published dozens of ideas on how to address it head on - upzones throughout the city, permitting and regulatory reforms to make it faster,easier, and cheaper to build housing, supporting social housing, and avoiding gentrification and displacement. My plan gets us on track to allow for 270,000 more homes and to get and keep people inside right away.
- Increasing community well-being and safety through policing alternatives and lasting solutions that address root causes. We need counselors, social workers, shelters, and services, and I’ll ensure we get those long-overdue reforms and alternatives up and running so we can have a truly safe city.
- Building thriving 15-minute neighborhoods connected by great transit. Dense walkable neighborhoods abundant with services and thriving small businesses are climate solutions. Seattle must make zoning changes to allow for more corner stores and support great transit planning and multimodal options. I’ll fight for a Move Seattle Levy renewal that does exactly that.
I am a champion of workers and poor people because I believe in the ongoing fight for a fair economy and to pay it forward to the generations coming next. Both my dad and granddad were Teamsters. Growing up in a union household deeply informed my early political awareness, and underpins my passions, which include:
> Addressing the housing crisis head on and building a city where everyone who wants to can make a life here, and where no one is unsheltered.
> Building thriving 15-minute neighborhoods connected by great transit, which increases equitable access to opportunity, improves public health, and is one of the most powerful solutions to slowing and adapting to climate change.
