-Hello, I'm Tammy Morales,
running for city council in District 2.
Seattle is at a crossroads this election.
Will we allow corporate special interests
to dictate local policy
or will we shift power
to the people of our city?
I'm a community organizer,
a long-time budget
and policy analyst,
and a mom with two kids
in Seattle public schools.
I've spent my career
building healthy neighborhoods
with greater food security,
better housing, and stronger protections
for working people.
I did this work in coalition with many
of our community organizations,
joining to find solutions and advocate
for our district priorities.
That's how I lead, by joining with neighbors
and those most impacted to advance equity
and shared prosperity.
I'm running to build power
for the people of District 2
so we all feel safe, we all thrive,
and so we make decisions
that are good for all of us,
not just the most privileged.
We know that cities must lead the way
in protecting our communities.
I'll work to create a city
where we can live without fear
of displacement by building
more housing to serve low-income families,
seniors, and to support
the transition out of homelessness.
I'll invest in our young people,
from those needing more childcare options
to students who are transitioning to
college or to union
apprenticeship programs.
Together, we can transition to green building
and better transportation choices
so we end our reliance on fossil fuel,
because we can't call it an investment
if it destroys the planet.
And we must fix our upside-down tax structure.
I'll work to find the right mix
of progressive revenue
so we can stop funding the city
on the backs of our low-income neighbors.
For Seattle to thrive,
we need wealthy corporations to pay their fair share.
I'm proud to have the endorsement of grocery, healthcare,
and warehouse workers
who know my commitment to working families.
I've been endorsed by
Representative Jayapal, State Senator Saldaña,
City Council Members Mosqueda
and González,
and County Council Member Larry Gossett,
as well as the Washington Progressive Caucus,
Latino Caucus, 37th District Democrats,
and the Sierra Club.
I'm Tammy Morales,
and I'm asking for you vote so together,
we can build power for our community.
