Endorsement for Seattle City Council Position 6 - Nick Licata
I voted for Jessie Israel during the primary. Back then, I decided I liked both candidates and what they had to offer, and I figured a vote for Israel would guarantee I got to hear more from each of them.
After the primary, it seemed like Israel continued to go negative on Licata, touting his record of being a “No Vote” against the rest of the council. This didn’t seem to be based on any statistical record of Licata’s, and I also didn’t really care.
By failing to show me what she was able to offer, she lost my interest.
Licata, on the other hand, has been on the side of increased police accountability (while also offering better services), been a nightlife advocate, and created a study to see if we could avoid building another Jail here in Seattle (we shouldn’t). Keep him in.
