Two candidates are running to represent Southeast Seattle, including Beacon Hill, the Chinatown-International District, Columbia City, and Rainier Beach.
The District 2 seat was left vacant earlier this year when former City Councilmember Tammy Morales left the role. It’s being temporarily filled by Interim Councilmember Mark Solomon, but he’s going to step aside once voters decide which candidate they want to represent their community.
The current candidates for District 2 are campaigning on platforms that prioritize key issues, like gun violence, housing and homelessness.
We'll dig into the ways they differ so you can make an informed decision when you reach for your ballots.
Guests:
- Adonis Ducksworth, the communications and policy advisor at the Seattle Department of Transportation
- Eddie Lin, an assistant attorney for the Seattle City Attorney’s office
