I think one of the most undertold stories is how Katie Wilson has DOUBLED our civilian crisis care response virtually overnight by firing our previous Chief and bringing SPD better in line.

Imagine if the @seattletimes.com and other news outlets were intellectually honest and published, i don't know, charts like this? Seattle is safer than almost all our peer cities, except the other one governed by a Democratic Socialist. Thanks @mayor.seattle.gov and @mayor.nyc.gov!

Big cities w/lower rates are disproportionately in blue states. Higher rates are majority in red. Also, we are kicking ass this year compared to even amazing blue cities (Denver, Boston) and just behind topest tier big cities NYC and SF. Also ahead of Tacoma & Spokane, tied with the 'Couv!

Running behind and just missed a train. Had that sad feeling and then realized I only have to wait five minutes for the next one.

No child should go hungry. Ever. We only face these horrible tradeoffs because billionaires control our tax system. We have to reject the austerity advocated by the rich, who talk of "audits" when budgets are stretched to the breaking point.

In our Seattle Times interview, Will Dreher was asked how he'd close the budget gap. His answers were 100% cuts related. All centrist words--"audits," "take a hard look"--NO taxes offered. Elon Musk claimed DOGE cut 3% from the federal budget (it was way less). Our budget deficit is 5%.

If you blend the total jobs subject to Seattle's taxes on high payrolls, you can see that Seattle is adding jobs quite a bit faster than Bellevue. It's about a 2.7 to 1 ratio.

In the third category, that is mostly corporate HQs, Bellevue grew faster, albeit from a large base. This was pretty much 100% Amazon. But Bellevue was flat to shrinking from all non-Amazon HQs. Seattle's flat total + 10,000 Amazonians to Bellevue means our nonAmazon HQs are growing way faster

In two of the three major categories of relevant jobs-- Information, and Professional, Scientific & Technical Services--Seattle grew spectacularly faster than Bellevue. Seattle grew by 20%. Bellevue shrunk.

“Ron Davis is one of the hardest workers I know. He’s equally at home deep-diving into housing policy and knocking on the doors of actual houses to hear from his neighbors about their lives and concerns. He’s also a dad who cares deeply about making our city affordable for working families…

Proud dad post! My kiddo earned his black belt last weekend! So much dedication and grit! This weekend he shined at the Seattle Middle School Track finals! He won the 400, 800, and his relay team won the 4x 400. His wins put Eckstein over the top, and he got to hoist the trophy at the end.

Beyond excited to be endorsed by the transit workers! These heroes move millions of people every week - our economy and the tempo of our lives depends on them! Let's stand with them - for their safety, pay, benefits, and working conditions, and for building up their workforce for the future!

Honored to receive the endorsement of Charles Douglas, the Executive Director of Common Power. This organization raises up young leaders, mobilizes voters in swing states, and works to make Democratic politics more inclusive & effective (e.g., Mamdani!). So touched by Charles'' personal support.

Thrilled to be endorsed by these three! Mike was the progressive anchor for the Seattle City Council for years, De’Sean leading on County Council, Tukwila Council and Metro (Bus system) for decade, Ryan is the President of the Commission of our massive port system—he’s labor & environment champion.

3. This year, they cut future sales taxes on services (also paid a bit more by the rich, though not as progressive as the other cut), costing billions more, 4. They wouldn't give Sound Transit the long term debt capacity it needs. This leaves us with options like this.

Stunned and honored to be first to receive a union endorsement, even though I’m running against a LONGTIME Democratic incumbent. IBEW 46 represents 6000 electrical workers in King County. It’s time to build our affordable future. Let’s get to work! VoteRonDavis.com

Amazing night celebrating progressive wins in North Seattle. 150 advocates, organizers, funders, volunteers and just voters from every corner of the progressive ecosystem. It was a joy to celebrate and to prep ourselves for the fight ahead to win the D5 seat, where big money will try to stop us.
