Election 2015: Who’s filed for what so far, with one day to go

One day remains in the official 2015 candidate-filing season – so by this time tomorrow, the field will be more or less set for this fall’s elections. Here’s the list of who’s filed for what so far; in offices of West Seattle note, District 8 County Councilmember Joe McDermott has filed for re-election and has no opponent at this point; in the District 1 (West Seattle/South Park) City Council race, six candidates have filed so far – Pavel Goberman, Chas Redmond, Arturo Robles, Phillip Tavel, Shannon Braddock, and Lisa Herbold; we know Amanda Kay Helmick, who’s been collecting signatures in lieu of the four-digit filing fee, plans to file tomorrow, so that means a field of at least 7 in this race. We’ll update tomorrow. (Side note: As we write this, we’re at South Seattle College‘s Georgetown Campus to cover the forum for at-large Council Positions 8 and 9 and School Board Position 6 – the WS/SP seat in which Marty McLaren and Leslie Harris are the two filers so far – coverage including video, coming up later.)

    Just curious. Why isn’t Lisa Herbold’s name printed in bold face as are the names of the other candidates listed in this post?

      It’s our style to boldface names on first reference but we don’t do it as we write them, we write something in its entirety and then go back to add code touches like that, links, etc., and I apparently missed it – I wrote this very quickly while getting set up to record the Georgetown forum (story to come). Fixing; thanks for pointing it out.

Sorry, comment time is over.
