-Hello,
I'm Tammy Morales,
3
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:09,576
running for
city council in District 2.
4
00:00:09,609 --> 00:00:11,811
Seattle is at a
crossroads this election.
5
00:00:11,845 --> 00:00:13,613
Will we allow corporate
special interests
6
00:00:13,646 --> 00:00:15,115
to dictate local policy
7
00:00:15,148 --> 00:00:16,149
or will we shift power
8
00:00:16,182 --> 00:00:17,650
to the people
of our city?
9
00:00:17,684 --> 00:00:19,386
I'm a
community organizer,
10
00:00:19,419 --> 00:00:20,387
a long-time budget
11
00:00:20,420 --> 00:00:21,421
and policy analyst,
12
00:00:21,454 --> 00:00:22,455
and a mom
with two kids
13
00:00:22,489 --> 00:00:24,190
in Seattle
public schools.
14
00:00:24,224 --> 00:00:25,225
I've spent my career
15
00:00:25,258 --> 00:00:26,860
building
healthy neighborhoods
16
00:00:26,893 --> 00:00:28,061
with greater
food security,
17
00:00:28,094 --> 00:00:30,196
better housing,
and stronger protections
18
00:00:30,230 --> 00:00:31,798
for working people.
19
00:00:31,831 --> 00:00:33,500
I did this work
in coalition with many
20
00:00:33,533 --> 00:00:35,335
of our community organizations,
21
00:00:35,368 --> 00:00:37,604
joining to find
solutions and advocate
22
00:00:37,637 --> 00:00:39,472
for our district
priorities.
23
00:00:39,506 --> 00:00:41,975
That's how I lead,
by joining with neighbors
24
00:00:42,008 --> 00:00:44,611
and those most impacted
to advance equity
25
00:00:44,644 --> 00:00:46,446
and shared prosperity.
26
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:47,647
I'm running
to build power
27
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:49,115
for the people
of District 2
28
00:00:49,149 --> 00:00:51,718
so we all feel safe,
we all thrive,
29
00:00:51,751 --> 00:00:52,852
and so
we make decisions
30
00:00:52,886 --> 00:00:54,187
that are good
for all of us,
31
00:00:54,220 --> 00:00:55,955
not just
the most privileged.
32
00:00:55,989 --> 00:00:57,690
We know that
cities must lead the way
33
00:00:57,724 --> 00:00:59,492
in protecting
our communities.
34
00:00:59,526 --> 00:01:00,727
I'll work
to create a city
35
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:01,828
where we can live
without fear
36
00:01:01,861 --> 00:01:03,496
of displacement
by building
37
00:01:03,530 --> 00:01:05,465
more housing to serve
low-income families,
38
00:01:05,498 --> 00:01:06,933
seniors,
and to support
39
00:01:06,966 --> 00:01:09,235
the transition
out of homelessness.
40
00:01:09,269 --> 00:01:10,737
I'll invest
in our young people,
41
00:01:10,770 --> 00:01:12,605
from those needing
more childcare options
42
00:01:12,639 --> 00:01:13,973
to students who
are transitioning to
43
00:01:14,007 --> 00:01:15,075
college or to union
44
00:01:15,108 --> 00:01:16,810
apprenticeship
programs.
45
00:01:16,843 --> 00:01:19,145
Together, we can
transition to
green building
46
00:01:19,179 --> 00:01:21,281
and better
transportation choices
47
00:01:21,314 --> 00:01:23,650
so we end our
reliance on fossil fuel,
48
00:01:23,683 --> 00:01:25,218
because we can't
call it an investment
49
00:01:25,251 --> 00:01:26,920
if it destroys
the planet.
50
00:01:26,953 --> 00:01:29,622
And we must fix our
upside-down tax structure.
51
00:01:29,656 --> 00:01:31,057
I'll work to find
the right mix
52
00:01:31,091 --> 00:01:32,425
of progressive revenue
53
00:01:32,459 --> 00:01:34,260
so we can stop
funding the city
54
00:01:34,294 --> 00:01:36,629
on the backs of our
low-income neighbors.
55
00:01:36,663 --> 00:01:37,997
For Seattle to thrive,
56
00:01:38,031 --> 00:01:40,700
we need wealthy
corporations to
pay their fair share.
57
00:01:40,733 --> 00:01:43,369
I'm proud to have
the endorsement of
grocery, healthcare,
58
00:01:43,403 --> 00:01:44,871
and warehouse workers
59
00:01:44,904 --> 00:01:47,006
who know my
commitment to
working families.
60
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:48,208
I've been endorsed by
61

and the Sierra Club.

I'm Tammy Morales,
69
00:02:02,122 --> 00:02:04,457

you vote so together,
70
00:02:04,491 --> 00:02:06,826
we can build power
for our community.
