TUESDAY: Seattle City Council District 1 candidates side by side in West Seattle again

General-election voting starts in just a week and a half, as soon as your ballot arrives. If you haven’t yet settled on a candidate in the Seattle City Council District 1 race, you can see the contenders side by side again in West Seattle tomorrow night. At 7 pm Tuesday (October 10th), Rob Saka and Maren Costa will be back in the spacious Walmesley Center at Our Lady of Guadalupe (same place we had our forum two weeks ago), this time for a forum presented by the Westside Interfaith Network and the League of Women Voters. West Seattle broadcaster/journalist Brian Callanan will moderate. All are welcome. The venue is on the northeast corner of 35th and Myrtle.

The “root causes” logic of some is utopian and deeply unethical. The city needs a pragmatic politics that makes things livable for most people now while also addressing issues of justice that improve life for the poor and working class. The current Council has been unwilling to do that.Mayor Harrell endorsement – “Rob Saka embodies the spirit and dedication required to serve the diverse and dynamic District One community,” stated Mayor Harrell. “As a father and a devoted community member, Rob deeply understands the unique challenges and opportunities that our city faces, from addressing the homelessness crisis with compassion and care to improving both staffing and accountability at SPD. ..In these trying times, our city requires leaders who are grounded, thoughtful, and responsive to the needs of our residents. Rob Saka will bring a needed, common-sense approach to problem-solving essential for the revitalization and forward momentum of Seattle. I am confident that he will serve our city with integrity, passion, and a deep sense of responsibility.”

Sorry, comment time is over.
