STATEMENT

The people of Seattle and District 4 need bold leadership on big questions like affordable housing, housing the homeless, and climate justice. I hope to provide that leadership as your next Seattle City Councilmember from District 4.

 

My time as outreach director for the Seattle Office of Arts & Cultural Affairs’ multimillion dollar renovation of King Street Station taught me that listening and collaboration need to be at the heart of our politics. If elected, I would establish a constituent services office in District 4 and hold regular town halls to hear from the working families, students, renters, neighborhood groups, and vulnerable populations in my District.

 

Seattle is my home of 27 years. I believe our city’s prosperity should benefit us all. By listening to our neighbors and building coalitions, we can forge a fair city, where renters aren’t priced out, and homeowners aren’t stressed out by rising property taxes. An accountable city, where big developers and corporations don’t run roughshod over our neighborhoods and tax code.

 

We can have a caring city, where the homeless get connected to supportive housing and mental health services, and young people don’t have to choose between textbooks and food. We can have an inclusive city, where there is enough housing for those here, and for those on the way.

 

A vote for Shaun Scott is a vote for this vision.
