Hello. I'm Don L. Rivers,
your candidate for Mayor of Seattle.
The condition of our city is critical.
We are in the middle of redefining
our lives in the present
and what it will become in the future.
Seattle citizens are strong,
hardworking, and caring people.
We are devoted to accepting change for the better.
Now is that time.
We must develop bold leaders.
We must listen to each other
and, together, change negatives to positives
for the present and our future.
Yes, we have work to do.
Know this --
homelessness must not exist in Seattle.
I will reconstruct our police department
because Black lives do matter.
We are the city of destiny,
a place where quality lives
will always be developed.
I will pledge to develop
a new stream of revenue.
I will work hard to create new leaders
skilled with the three L's --
the ability to listen, learn, and then lead.
We are a city destined to become culturally competent
of one another's needs, desires to prosper.
We will monitor our environment
and create appropriate change necessary.
We will remember our indigenous tribes
and their desire to work to move forward.
We will find new locations
for our preschool children and their care.
I look forward to developing
our disaster and pandemic readiness program.
I will look forward to working with our youth
and the young adults to develop a program
that will keep dangerous drivers
off our streets and freeways.
I need your vote, your support.
The change is here.
I'm Don L. Rivers. Black lives do matter.
