1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:02,268
Emerging from
this pandemic,

2
00:00:02,369 --> 00:00:04,337
we have an opportunity
to come together

3
00:00:04,437 --> 00:00:06,539
to roll up our sleeves
and build a stronger,

4
00:00:06,639 --> 00:00:08,375
more equitable
Seattle.

5
00:00:08,475 --> 00:00:09,642
I'm Teresa Mosqueda,

6
00:00:09,743 --> 00:00:11,111
and I've dedicated
my career

7
00:00:11,211 --> 00:00:12,345
to building
coalitions

8
00:00:12,445 --> 00:00:13,480
and getting results

9
00:00:13,580 --> 00:00:15,815
by bringing together
diverse perspectives

10
00:00:15,915 --> 00:00:17,650
and passing
progressive policies

11
00:00:17,751 --> 00:00:19,419
that challenge
the status quo.

12
00:00:19,519 --> 00:00:21,554
In my first term here
at Seattle City Council,

13
00:00:21,654 --> 00:00:22,489
with your help,

14
00:00:22,589 --> 00:00:23,957
we passed
progressive policies

15
00:00:24,057 --> 00:00:26,893
to make Seattle more
equitable and just.

16
00:00:26,993 --> 00:00:28,995
I led the coalition
and passed

17
00:00:29,095 --> 00:00:31,731
the JumpStart progressive
revenue proposal

18
00:00:31,831 --> 00:00:34,167
to bring in over
$214 million a year

19
00:00:34,267 --> 00:00:35,668
for investments
in housing

20
00:00:35,769 --> 00:00:36,803
and small businesses,

21
00:00:36,903 --> 00:00:38,471
in equitable
development,

22
00:00:38,571 --> 00:00:40,407
and Green New Deal
priorities.

23
00:00:40,507 --> 00:00:42,142
I passed wage
and leave standards

24
00:00:42,242 --> 00:00:43,410
for app-based
drivers,

25
00:00:43,510 --> 00:00:44,944
made sure that
our hotel workers

26
00:00:45,045 --> 00:00:46,146
had healthcare

27
00:00:46,246 --> 00:00:48,214
and workplace protections
and, during COVID,

28
00:00:48,314 --> 00:00:49,983
made sure that
our grocery workers

29
00:00:50,083 --> 00:00:51,184
had hazard pay.

30
00:00:51,284 --> 00:00:53,086
I led on the Domestic
Workers Bill of Rights

31
00:00:53,186 --> 00:00:54,854
that is now
a national model

32
00:00:54,954 --> 00:00:55,889
for other cities,

33
00:00:55,989 --> 00:00:57,524
and we addressed
the climate crisis

34
00:00:57,624 --> 00:00:59,459
by passing energy-efficiency
standards

35
00:00:59,559 --> 00:01:00,393
for city buildings

36
00:01:00,493 --> 00:01:01,961
and funding more housing

37
00:01:02,062 --> 00:01:03,930
within the city
of Seattle.

38
00:01:04,030 --> 00:01:06,266
In the wake of COVID,
I hope to continue

39
00:01:06,366 --> 00:01:07,901
to do
this important work

40
00:01:08,001 --> 00:01:09,069
with your support.

41
00:01:09,169 --> 00:01:11,137
I hope to return to council
with your vote

42
00:01:11,237 --> 00:01:12,772
and make sure that
we can continue

43
00:01:12,872 --> 00:01:14,741
to invest in workers
and small businesses,

44
00:01:14,841 --> 00:01:15,842
address
environmental crisis,

45
00:01:15,942 --> 00:01:16,943
as well as make sure

46
00:01:17,043 --> 00:01:18,244
that we're addressing
the health

47
00:01:18,344 --> 00:01:20,613
and stability for
all Seattleites.

48
00:01:20,713 --> 00:01:22,449
I will fight for more
affordable housing

49
00:01:22,549 --> 00:01:23,383
across our city,

50
00:01:23,483 --> 00:01:24,651
for police
accountability,

51
00:01:24,751 --> 00:01:25,985
and upstream
investments,

52
00:01:26,086 --> 00:01:27,320
making sure
that we invest

53
00:01:27,420 --> 00:01:28,888
in homeless-prevention
strategies

54
00:01:28,988 --> 00:01:30,990
and ensure that workers
and small businesses

55
00:01:31,091 --> 00:01:32,659
have the support
they need

56
00:01:32,759 --> 00:01:34,994
for a more equitable
Seattle post-COVID.

57
00:01:35,095 --> 00:01:36,362
I hope
you'll join me

58
00:01:36,463 --> 00:01:38,965
and support my campaign
for reelection.

59
00:01:39,065 --> 00:01:40,433
Please join
individuals

60
00:01:40,533 --> 00:01:42,135

61
00:01:42,235 --> 00:01:43,870

including SEIU,
Teamsters, UFCW,

64
00:01:50,009 --> 00:01:52,045
so many environmental
justice groups

66

and folks fighting
for women's rights,

00:01:56,649 --> 00:01:59,119
LGBT rights,
and healthcare justice.

69
00:01:59,219 --> 00:02:01,221
It's been an honor
to serve you.
