City Council District 1
Lisa Herbold demands accountability.
When City Hall wanted $1.4 million to bail out the bankrupt PRONTO bike-share company, Lisa said, “NO.” When powerful downtown business interests demanded a Center City Streetcar, already $143 million (100% in 4 years, before breaking ground) over budget, Lisa says “NO, let’s invest that money in real transportation projects.” Government will never have enough money for everything. We must pick the most important things and do them well.
Bold steps to address our housing and homelessness crisis.
Lisa led the Council to pass $29 million for affordable housing, which, if done through the end of our Housing Levy, will dramatically increase our housing stock. We’ve also changed the law to require developers to increase truly affordable housing by 6,000 units. She’s worked with the West Seattle Helpline to help families and seniors pay their utility bills, stay in their homes, and prevent homelessness before it starts.
Lisa works hard for District 1.
No issue is too big or small for Lisa. She’s secured funding for more hours for Colman Pool, to increase bus service to Alki, Admiral, and Highland Park, restore police Community Service Officers, add 112 new police positions, and keep open the Concord Elementary Learning Center. She’s worked with the Port to limit noise and fuel emissions, passed new laws so SPD can better enforce against vehicle exhaust noise at Alki, passed legislation to fix-up derelict buildings in Delridge and South Park, and required enhanced oversight on big construction projects. She’s working with Sound Transit so light rail doesn’t tear apart the West Seattle Junction.
Lisa believes we all must have an opportunity to succeed. From better tenant laws, to Secure Scheduling for workers at large retail and food service establishments, to green jobs and career pathways to ensure everyone has a place to live and work. She’s gone to the mat for small businesses: in Luna Park and Fauntleroy to save parking, in the University District fighting business displacement, in the Central District to fund mitigation for businesses impacted by transportation projects.
Lisa’s the only candidate endorsed by KC, 34th and 11th District Democrats, MLK Labor Council, Alliance for Gun Responsibility, Emily’s List, The Stranger, Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal, KC Councilmember Joe McDermott, State Senator Joe Nguyen, and Councilmember Lorena González.
She’s lived in District 1 for 19 years. Her daughter lives here; her grandchildren attend Sanislo Elementary and Chief Sealth High.
