  • Rep. Jim McDermott has represented the 7th District since 1989 and is a champion of progressive values. McDermott is a member of the Progressive Caucus and serves on the House Ways and Means Committee. A physician by trade, he specializes in health care issues, particularly regarding the international fight against AIDS, his sponsorship of a bill to provide a single payer health care system, and women’s health. He has also been a vocal advocate fighting for working families who have been hurt by Wall Street, as well as fighting for alternative energy, and an official end to the war in Iraq.

    McDermott faces two challengers, neither of whom are compelling: Independent West Seattle lawyer Doug McQuaid, who lost badly in Seattle's mayoral primary in 2013, and perennial candidate GoodSpaceGuy. McDermott deserves your vote.

  • VOTE YES

    Vote YES For Parks!

  • Seattle Proposition 1 would provide stable, dedicated funding to maintain and operate Seattle’s parks and community centers. It establishes a new parks district that would replace the expiring parks levy and would cost a typical homeowner about $4 a month. Seattle has a great parks system that we have neglected for many years that has led to a $267 million maintenance backlog. Unanimously approved by the City Council, Proposition 1 would provide stable, dedicated funding to address leaky roofs, aging boilers, and critical electrical upgrades. It will also restore staffing at community and senior centers. Accountability and oversight is provided through the City Council. Our parks system is one of our greatest democratic institutions, bringing together people from all walks of life and all races and ethnicities to share in the beauty of nature and the benefits of recreation. We should protect this legacy for future generations.

    Some progressives have expressed concerns about the details of this measure. We think former Mayor Mike McGinn did a good job of acknowledging concerns about Prop 1 while explaining why he is voting yes: http://www.seattlemet.com/news-and-profiles/publicola/articles/why-i-m-voting-for-parks-even-though-the-opponents-have-a-point-july-2014
