Campaign themes
2015
Rushmer's website highlighted the following campaign themes:
| “ | I'm running for Seattle City Council to build lasting coalitions between communities, business owners, and land developers - to provide quality, equitable housing opportunities, adequate, forward thinking parking strategies, and efficient, state of the art public transportation solutions in tandem with increased road capacity.
I'm running to champion West Seattle and South Park public schools and ensure that lack of funding is never a roadblock to the success of our children. I'm running to make sure our community continues to thrive through focused, intelligently managed growth - while keeping the small town feel and remaining the kind of neighborhood where people want to live, plant roots, raise families, and retire. Not only today but for generations to come.[2][3] |
