As a Seattleite for over 22 years, I've seen our city transform over the years in exciting and phenomenal ways. But the last several months have been extremely difficult for all of us. As I talk to everyday voters, they worry about the pandemic's impact on our community, economy, and our businesses. There's a lot of fear and uncertainty about what comes next.
I've worked in the private sector my entire career, and my industry has also been hit especially hard. This is part of the reason I got into this race to begin with, because, like many other people, I've experienced first-hand the pandemic's devastating economic impact on businesses.
COVID has also exposed so many inadequacies when it comes to the social issues that I'm passionate about - the high cost of housing, homelessness, accessible and affordable transportation, access to quality healthcare, funding for education, and protecting our seniors, communities of color, and our struggling small businesses.
These are the issues I worry about and the issues that I will fight for.- Various perspectives enable creative solutions and lead to much better outcomes.
- Dynamic leader who will work hard to encourage innovation, create jobs, and regrow our economy.
- A fierce advocate for pay equality, a robust public transit system, and ensure our seniors can retire with dignity.
