-It's been a great honor to serve the residents
of King County the past 7 1/2 years
on the Seattle Port Commission.
I'm running for a third term
to continue my environmental leadership,
advancing a just and inclusive transition
to a clean energy economy that generates living wage careers.
My service is guided by a triple bottom line --
commerce, community, and climate.
I'm committed to expanding environmental
and economic justice,
especially for near-port communities
as well as small, women, and minority-owned businesses.
My experience is needed to exercise public policy direction
over a growing airport,
home port for Alaskan cruise ships and fishing fleet,
marinas, parks, and a marine cargo alliance
with the Port of Tacoma.
The port generates 121,000 jobs,
which is key to ongoing COVID recovery efforts.
The airport and seaport have won awards for customer service
even while undergoing major construction.
But port activities also impact communities and the climate.
That's why I'm leading initiatives
to electrify airport and seaport operations
and to use alternative fuels for trucks, ships and planes.
I'm also committed to ensuring the protection
and restoration of parks, bicycle safety,
and cleanup of the Duwamish River.
During my next term,
I'll continue reducing the port's carbon footprint
with unprecedented levels of state and federal funding
for clean energy projects,
inspire youth to pursue port-related jobs
by promoting innovation, apprenticeships and internships,
and expand partnerships with tribes
and the Seattle Aquarium for projects ranging
from kelp to killer whales and eco-tourism.
With your support, I'll continue to champion port policies
rooted in fiscal responsibility, ecological integrity,
and I respectfully ask for your vote.
And I'm proudly endorsed by Governor Inslee,
Attorney General Ferguson, Lands Commissioner Franz,
Seattle Mayor Harrell, County Executive Constantine,
County Councilmember Balducci,
Washington Conservation Action,
King County Democrats, labor unions and business leaders,
and many others.
