AMR - Alexis Mercedes Rinck

The LGBTQ Commission had the honor of receiving a proclamation on Trans Day of Remembrance from Councilmember Alexis Mercedes Rinck. We remember those we've lost and we stand firm in the fight for safety, dignity, and justice for transgender individuals in our community.

Thanks @publicola.com.web.brid.gy for this coverage. Proud to advance a budget amendment tomorrow that lays the groundwork for a Continuum of Care Contingency Fund, in partnership with @councilmember-amr.bsky.social! Full article: publicola.com/2025/11/17/f...

To give credit where credit is due @kcook2720.bsky.social filmed these clips with me! I edited though. ✨

They most certainly did!!

Thank you!! 💜 I have the best team and I appreciate all the guidance and support from brilliant folks across the city as we’ve navigated our first year!

Thank you, Noah!! 💜

When you ask voters to choose between corporate profits and protecting our neighbors – it’s not even close. This year, Seattle voters chose the tax corporations to fund social housing (63%) and to pass the Seattle Shield Initiative to protect our neighbors (71%). Let’s keep it going!

We are pleased to start our #2025APPAM experience with Policy on the Rocks: Local Governance in a Shifting Political Landscape, with @jsandfort.bsky.social Angela Birney, @alexis4seattle.bsky.social and Christine Rolfes. Thank you to our cohosts, @uwevansschool.bsky.social!

Baristas are on strike. So guess what? Starbucks doesn’t get a dime.

We stand with the workers — not the billionaire brewing union busting on the side. #NoContractNoCoffee

Okay, that's pretty good 😂

Congratulations to Mayor-Elect Katie Wilson! @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social

I’m looking forward to working together in building a city that is affordable, safe, and thriving for working families!

Let the page refreshing begin.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

The Rinck, Evans, and Foster campaigns are now officially ranked 2nd, 9th, and 13th, respectively, in total votes received in general elections in Seattle going back to 1973. AMR now holds the top two spots. And counting is far from done.

I’m going to put in an inquiry on this. I have a lot of questions about how enforcement is currently being conducted.

I met a celebrity this week. IYKYK.

Congratulations to our new county executive @girmayzahilay.bsky.social ! Let’s get to work!

Thank you!!

"To my colleagues on Council, those I worked with and those I disagreed with: I open my hand to you to work in collaboration... but let me be clear that I will not compromise on our values" is the kind of thing you say when you win over 78% of the vote. @alexis4seattle.bsky.social

This one is for the scrapbook.

Thank you for this analysis, Charlotte!! This is wild to see!

The Seattle Shield Initiative is a big win for small businesses in Seattle. Thank you to our favorite council member @alexis4seattle.bsky.social for giving our struggling small businesses some relief and making large corporations pay their fair share.

Right now, the city Council is hosting a public hearing on the budget. Check out our op-ed in Publicola to learn more about what we’re pushing for.
