A Seattle Built for Everyone

As a life-long Seattleite, I’ve seen the city change dramatically through the tech boom, recessions, and the increasing challenges facing our communities. As someone raised in New Holly, a Running Start alumni, and a Husky Promise recipient, I recognize that my future today wouldn’t have been possible without access to key social services and safety nets that make the American Dream possible. Over the past two decades, these services have eroded in quality making my story less likely for the future generations that are here today.

My story is a Seattle story; with political turmoil and conflict at the national and global level, Seattleites are relying more and more on the safety and security of local government to protect their human rights, families, cultures, and way of life. Our city needs to represent the people that live here and I hope to make that happen.
