Endorsements - Quick View
I received my ballot weeks ago. I’ve been harassing and tormenting and nagging everyone I know to make sure they fill in their ballots and get them in the mail ASAP.
Yet I’ve yet to fill out my ballots. This wasn’t for laziness, or because I was unsure of which candidate to vote for (save the occasional exception, which I’ll get to below). It was because I so relish the experience, the process, and the last minute details that come out during the election cycle, that I didn’t want to end it prematurely. During the primary, I voted day 1, and then felt like I missed out on all the other pressing issues. I’d meet candidates at local political events, shake their hands, but once I told them I’d already voted, they’d move on to someone else they could flip.
So here, now that there’s only two days left to get the ballot in the mail, I give you my 2009 General Election Endorsements.
I’ll list them in the order I find personally most important, because it’s my blog.
King County Executive - Dow Constantine
Seattle’s Proposition 1: Low-Income Housing Levy - YES!
City of Seattle Council Position 2 - Richard Conlin
City of Seattle Council Position 4 - Sally Bagshaw - kinda
City of Seattle Council Position 6 - Nick Licata
City of Seattle Council Position 8 - Mike O’Brien
City of Seattle Attorney - Pete Holmes
That’s all I got. At least for now.
