When we threw the City Council Spectacular last week, we wanted to give the candidates a chance to tell us why they are running. So we did. And we recorded their reason for running. And we put it on “the internet” (which is where you are now).
And so, the Bus is proud to present, in reverse alphabetical order (let’s mix things up, eh?), the candidates for Seattle City Council, and why they’re running for office:
Robert Sondheim
Thanks to Joshua Guerci for the video work!
Wow, that’s a lot of hot candidate action. They all sort of sound the same, except maybe Mike O’Brien, who seemed to be pretty on it.
Hello – NONE of them spoke to the Bus audience. Why should young people in particular vote for these people?
Thank you Bus for interviewing them. I was hoping I’d get a better idea of who I’d support. You definitely gave them the opportunity, but none of them really grabbed my attention.
I agree with asiangoddez. They all look the same, talk the same…BORING. Where’s the passion? Where’s the natural leadership?
oh, and where are all the ladies? How come we got only men running?
We’ve got two great women, Jessie and Sally. Don’t count them out!
This is cool. I haven’t heard anything from these people before. It’s def a bunch of old white dudes but now i know which old white dudes. Points for me.
Not too late for you (under 35, lady, ________ fill in blank) to you to run. How about Mollie Cho Ripp? – she’s effing awesome.
Is it to late to put your name into the hat? I’ve got a solution to our Counties Homeless issue….
