Have you checked your mail today? It’s that special time, every two years, when Seattleites get 100 bucks from the Seattle Ethics and Elections Commission. I’m talking about democracy vouchers!
That money’s not for you, though. It’s for political candidates you want to support in November’s election.
And it’s a big one: Not only is the Mayor up for reelection. So is the City Attorney. There are also 3 seats on the Seattle City Council in contention.
Two of those are citywide positions, currently held by Council President Sara Nelson and brand new council member Alexis Mercedes Rinck. Both of them are seeking reelection.
The third seat is District 2, in southeast Seattle which is held by newly appointed council member Mark Solomon.
These five races are all eligible to receive campaign funding via Democracy Vouchers…
