My definition of public safety includes housing people. I hope to earn the support of voters who share that value. The backbone of my career as a poverty law and legal aid attorney has been fighting to keep people housed. Ballots are due August 5. #seattle #waelex

Priorities matter. I will lead the city’s law firm with a much different set than Ann Davison. #waelex #seattle

Here's my theory of the case: the City Attorney runs the law firm that represents the people of Seattle. You deserve a city attorney with a clear, bold vision for how to make your life better.

Seattle has a housing problem. Let’s fix it. It won’t be easy but if we can give Joseph a heart transplant, I am confident we can house him. Also, our systems don’t work as well. Also, they’re about to be gutted by the BBB. Seattle, we have work to do. #seattle

I don’t share much personal content and this topic doesn’t really come up in the field. But Seattle voters deserve to know what my principles are and what I stand for. #seattle #seattlepolitics #seattleelections

How can the City Attorney help improve Seattle’s housing crisis? Glad you asked. Let’s start with protecting our social housing developer.

Seattle voters have been asking for common sense police accountability measures for years. Instead, they have a police department that ignores ordinances passed by the City Council.

Think of it like this: the City Attorney is the boss of the law firm that represents the City of Seattle.

As I've been on the campaign trail, what I've heard from folks is that they want diversion. They want to avoid forcing people into the criminal legal system. They want therapeutic courts. They want to make sure we have a system that helps folks disengage. That's what I'll do if elected. #Seattle

Non-violent protest requires preparation, practice, and discipline. It’s not passive. It’s not easy. And it sometimes means breaking the law or being mistreated by the police. I’m Rory O’Sullivan. I’m running for Seattle City Attorney. I won’t prosecute peaceful protesters.

If Rory O’Sullivan is elected Seattle City Attorney, he will remove the affidavit of Judge Pooja Vaddadi that current attorney Ann Davidson put in place. Have a question you’d like Rory to answer about his campaign, the role of the City Attorney, or the state of Seattle, share it below.

What role does the Seattle Police Department play in the homelessness crisis and what should that role look like? From my chat with Seattle mayoral candidate Joe Molloy. #seattle

Honored to receive an endorsement from @seiu6.bsky.social, which unites 10,000 janitors, security officers, and airport workers in Washington. These are the workers who keep Seattle and Washington moving. I look forward to doing everything I can as City Attorney to protect & fight for their rights.

Keeping Seattle safe includes protecting workers from wage theft and employer retaliation. Enforcing worker protection laws puts money back in the pockets of vulnerable people. These aren’t tough concepts to grasp…except if you’re our current City Attorney, I guess.
Din Tai Fung settles over wage theft law violations Between 2019 and 2021, Seattle filed 11 labor standards cases. Since Ann Davidson was sworn in, it’s filed two. Wage theft hurts everyone!

How can the Seattle city attorney use their power to address homelessness? I recently spoke with Joe Molloy. Joe lost his housing in 2024 and is now running for Mayor to confront the crisis head-on. We discussed a wide range of topics related to homelessness and what we could do if elected.

We don’t use SWAT teams to enforce parking tickets, but that’s what ICE is doing. They’re sending militarized tactical units to enforce civil immigration violations. Tell Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell and City Attorney Anne Davidson to make sure SPD abides by the Keep Washington Working Act.

“Trump is attacking the very foundations of our democracy, disappearing people, disregarding direct court orders, using the office of the presidency to line his pockets and get fancy claims.” As Seattle City Attorney I will use all legal strategies to ensure we protect our immigrant communities.

The best practices for crowd control are well known and can be accessed in numerous reports from entities like the Center for Policing Equity and from our own Attorney General’s Office. Police should be in contact with protest organizers. Peaceful protest, whether or not authorized by a permit, should not be disrupted by police. Officers should be prepared to engage in verbal de-escalation and tactical positioning, and they must have patience. Crowd dispersal orders must be lawful, audible, specific, and allow time to comply.

A comprehensive after-action report would answer many of the obvious questions that come out of the events from May 24th. Were the police in contact with organizers for both Mayday USA and with Refuse Fascism and the other organizations that were involved in the counter protests? Why did the police line up to protect the Mayday USA event, rather than presenting a more neutral posture?
