Launching my campaign for bagel mayor with a strong affordability platform.

I wore this as my Halloween costume 12 years ago. 1) Wild how some things never change 2) I’ve always been like this.
One thing about the Mariners, it was always going to be game 7.

The Council approved my amendment to the supplemental budget which will add $300K in legal defense for our immigrant neighbors!
This funding comes out of underspend from a jail contract. Transferring these funds to this urgent need facing community is a major win!
The Seattle City Council just passed an amendment to the supplemental budget, offered by CM Rinck, adding $300k to legal defense for unaccompanied children facing detention and deportation, taken from underspend from the City's much criticized SCORE jail contract.
The Seattle Shield Initiative has passed unanimously and will be on the Seattle ballot in November.
Tomorrow afternoon Councilmember Hollingsworth and I will be restoring “Hot Rat Summer” in Cal Anderson Park. This mosaic was wrongfully painted over and we are going to fix it.

National Parks, humanitarian aid, and civil rights are actually cool as hell. Thank you, federal workers. Hold the line.
Very proud to announce the Department of Health will now process all requests to change gender designation on birth certificates within three business days. Previously, there was as much as a 10 month wait.
My landlord distributing fire blankets after being hounded by rental inspectors for a year and framing it as a Valentine’s Day present is WILD behavior.
I don't always agree with the @seattletimes-rss.bsky.social editorial board, but agree very strongly on this. Maritime industrial lands and union livelihood should not be sacrificed for CM Nelson's far-fetched campaign year schemes. #Seattle #waleg
