Seattle City Council Pos #4
 | David Bloom http://www.bloomforcouncil.org |
Candidate Statement:
We have to make Seattle more affordable. For too long, politicians in this city have ignored the will of the people with wrongheaded and costly projects:
The most expensive option for replacing the viaduct, with huge possible cost overruns
$50 million for a street car for South Lake Union with few riders
A $300 million fix for Mercer Street without improving traffic flow
A possible $200 million for a new city jail while we are closing schools.
My priorities:
Make a serious commitment to protecting and increasing our supply of affordable housing
Develop a regional transportation plan that connects our neighborhoods with more bus routes
Replace the expensive redo of Mercer and redirect our resources to rebuilding our neighborhood infrastructure
Create a City initiative to increase living wage jobs
Protect neighborhood trees, watersheds, and open space
I have worked for 30 years as a social justice advocate in Seattle to make sure all voices are heard. As Deputy Director of the Church Council of Greater Seattle, I led an urban program committed to building and preserving low-income housing, providing shelter for those who are homeless, working for social change, and advocating for human rights. I co-founded the Downtown Emergency Service Center, Common Ground, the Seattle Displacement Coalition, and the Interfaith Task Force on Homelessness. I have also served as an organizer and board member for Real Change. Recently, I have taken my experience to the classroom as adjunct faculty at Antioch University-Seattle, teaching courses on community organizing, homelessness, and spirituality & social action.
My endorsements:
The 11th, 36th, 37th, 43rd, and 46th District Democrats, The King County Democrats, Metropolitan Democratic Club, UFCW Local 21, SEIU Local 6, ILWU Local 52, I.A.T.S.E. Local 15, Inland Boatman's Union, SEAMEC, Seattle Gay News, Publicola, United African Public Affairs Committee of Washington State, King County Councilmember Larry Gossett, Seattle Councilmember Nick Licata, Former Councilmember Peter Steinbrueck, Former Seattle City Councilmember Dolores Sibonga, State House Speaker Frank Chopp, State Representatives Bob Hasegawa, Zack Hudgins, Eric Pettigrew, Sharon Tomiko Santos...and many others.
We have a progressive tradition in Seattle and strong sense of community in our neighborhoods. We need to keep that character alive and well in the 21st Century.
I will work with you to keep our progressive values, strengthen our neighborhoods, and refocus our priorities on essential city government services. I ask for your vote.

Vital Neighborhoods...

Sally will follow through on city commitments to fund parks, protect streams and open spaces, and clean Puget Sound.
Safe Streets...
Sally will push for more foot patrols to reduce crime, and work closely with former colleagues at the County to wisely use our public resources.
