I am proud of the role I played in improving our city, but there is so much more to be done. We need real transportation solutions, including more cost effective above grade light rail, monorail, and improved bus service. We need an honest dialogue on racial issues and how to build trust in our city. We need to continue investments in our neighborhoods. I am proud to have the endorsement of the Alki Foundation, 11th, 34th, 36th, 37th,43rd, and 46th District Democrats; King County Democrats; King County Labor Council, Seattle Police Management Association, Seattle P.I., Washington Conservation Voters, Women's political Caucus and neighbors throughout Seattle.
