Campaign themes
2015
Bagshaw's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[6]
Parks
- Excerpt: "Sally led the effort to address a $267 million backlog in major maintenance needs, and create a stable, dedicated funding source for our community centers, parks, playgrounds, ballfields and open space in every neighborhood."
Transportation
- Excerpt: "One of Sally’s primary objectives for Seattle is to reduce congestion. She was legal counsel to Metro for over a decade, and the University of Washington before that, and brings a comprehensive approach to our regional transportation needs. She advocates for a comprehensive network, providing safe and dedicated spaces for freight, cars, buses, pedestrians, and bicycles."
Neighborhoods
- Excerpt: "Believing that the Department of Neighborhoods is a treasured resource in our city, Sally has supported new energy within the department. In 2012, Department of Neighborhoods launched the People’s Academy of Community Engagement (PACE), a pilot program aimed at emerging leaders throughout the city. PACE has been deemed resounding successes. And, thanks to Sally’s support,our P-Patch Programs continue to multiple in every neighborhood."
Financial Responsibility
- Excerpt: "Sally insists upon safeguarding our public resources. For her primary committees the past five years — Parks and Seattle Public Utilities, she had required strategic plans from each. These plans will hold the City accountable, while giving taxpayers reasonable assurance that state laws, regulations and department policies and procedures are followed."
Income Inequality
- Excerpt: "We have started by helping children get a good start in life with healthy parents who have access to education and well-paying jobs, and universal pre-school for our 3-4 year olds. We will do more for families by adding affordable housing across our city. We have just successfully funded more transit and we are helping those with very low incomes get financial help with their electrical and water utility bills."
