Our campaign is calling on the city to implement *immediate* safety improvements on Rainier. There have been 1,500 injury and fatality crashes on this street over the last decade. This is unacceptable. South Seattle deserves safe streets.

Corporate interests have consistently opposed social housing in Seattle. I not only helped campaign and voted for Prop 1A, but I will continue to fight for the full implementation of social housing in Seattle as a member of the City Council. #GiveAFack

One of the reasons Katie is running for mayor is that she wants housing to be affordable for all of our residents.
Housing costs have doubled since Bruce Harrell first took office.
Social housing is one important part of that puzzle.
