-Hi. I'm Alex Hudson.
I'm a strong progressive, and an urbanist
with a proven track record of finding common ground,
solving problems, and delivering results.
Across issues like housing affordability,
expanding transit, reforming enforcement systems,
and improving neighborhoods,
I've created lasting, positive changes.
For nearly five years,
I led First Hill's Neighborhood Association,
where we increased affordable housing,
built safer transportation, better parks,
and improved livability.
Until recently,
I led Transportation Choices Coalition,
where I secured transformative investments,
including expanded light rail and bus service,
making transit free for young people, and increasing equity.
Our district is beautiful and vibrant.
We share progressive values, and we lead with compassion.
But things are off track.
Too many people are falling through the cracks.
We have work to do to address complicated problems
like homelessness, public safety, and affordability.
But with fresh ideas and urgency,
we can build more housing, care for the vulnerable,
and keep everyone safe.
We can be a great city that works.
From my deep community involvement,
I understand our challenges, and how to make progress.
I'm developing extensive policy agendas
on housing and homelessness,
transit and transportation, public safety,
and revitalizing our neighborhoods
and business districts.
I walk the talk.
In 2015, I was named
one of Seattle's most influential people
by Seattle Magazine.
I serve on the board of a nonprofit
affordable housing developer
and the Freeway Park Association.
I'm proud to be endorsed by organized labor,
progressive organizations, and community leaders.
We need a representative committed to listening
to residents' services,
who will problem solve issues
and increase our quality of life.
My experience and track record of success show
I can hit the ground running to get Seattle back on track.
It would be an honor to serve our district,
and I ask for your support.
