Endorsement for Seattle City Council Position 4 - I guess Sally?
I have to admit - I’m torn. I like David Bloom’s attention to the impoverished and needy in this city, a group of people often overlooked by… well everybody. But he’s come out against certain infrastructure developments that pretty much sway how I vote (No on Light Rail to Ballard and West Seattle?!?!?!).
At the same time, Sally Bagshaw seems to be a pretty swell chick, if not somewhat pro-establishment. During the City Council Candidate Survivor, Bagshaw admitted to having sex on a plane, and was charismatic when I met her when I was drunk at a Politico event. (She was quick to tell me she supported defending the rights of Trans people who are incarcerated, which is good, but seemed a bit like pandering.)
I was also a little too in love with Dorsal Plants, the youthful activist who ran against both of them in the primary. Sally came in with over half the votes. Her win may be a foregone conclusion.
I think I’ll fill in the bubble for Sally, but I can’t say I’m doing it with the same conviction I have about the other candidates. You’re on your own.
Here’s two good endorsements of each candidate. You choose.
