2017

Tsimerman's campaign website included the following themes for 2017:

“	Are we better now than 4 years ago? Stop fascism with idiotic face! I, Alex Tsimerman, speak to you Seattle emerald degenerate super smart freaking idiot, who bring Seattle to number one fascist city in America with Nazi−socialist−Gestapo principle. That always choose dirty garbage rats that drink from fat cat toilet and who make your life miserable and brought us to total collapse. Enough is enough it cannot go forever. No Taxes for first $100 spent on food, dress, everything. We pay $100 billion for taxes. Enough is enough. Give ordinary people a little bit of air for breathing. We are stuck in Seattle between Amazon and illegal immigration and there is only one way to bring the City back to normal life— move 100,000 Amazonian from downtown and 100,000 not legal immigrants from city. We need to guarantee affordable housing for everybody and stop speculation and start taxing 25% for every foreign house buyer. We need to fix our crazy traffic problems, which has totally destroyed our lives and our cars. To stop homeless, I will ask local billionaires to give 1% of their wealth so we can fix this problem once and forever. We need to open Bertha Room in City Hall one time per week for open public conversation and honest candidate forums. This can stop the people from being controlled by Nazi−Socialist−Democrats. Elect me as City Mayor, I will work for free and all management will be only from Seattle and Salary will be no more than average income. For City Mayor we need to elect business people like Alex Tsimerman who can operate a City which has $6 billion, 12,000 employees and 700,000 citizens. StandUP America, StandUP Seattle so we can bring us back to normal life. We have enough money in the system to make life better for everyone without a penny more from the people.	”
—Alex Tsimerman (2017)
