Other Candidates
Juarez is facing a large number of candidates in this crowded field: John Lombard, Tayla Mahoney, Mark Mendez, Alex Tsimerman, and Ann Davison Sattler.
Environmental consultant John Lombard served as co-chair of the North District Council in 2016. He would allow more authorized homeless encampments to reduce the number of unauthorized camps, including city-sanctioned industrial, “FEMA-style” tent shelters and vehicle camps. He also wants to fully staff the Seattle Police Department while ensuring that we meet our constitutional obligation to avoid excessive force and racial profiling.
Tayla Mahoney is an electrical administrator and attorney running to empower law enforcement and increase transparency on the council.
Alex Tsimerman is best known for verbally abusing city council members at public hearings. He has no place in elected office.
Mark Mendez has served as the co-chair of the North District Council, on the board of Lake City Neighborhood Alliance, and on the board of Meadowbrook Community Care, and in 2017, he served on the City of Seattle’s Community Involvement Commission (CIC), which was created to help the city implement equitable strategies. Mendez is taking a housing-first policy when it comes to homelessness, including offering wraparound services and homelessness prevention policies. He wants to see more resources going to underserved Lake City, Bitter Lake, and Aurora-Licton, more career training programs for youth, and solarization for the district.
Ann Davison Sattler is a former Seattle Sonics employee who supports a rapid response to the homelessness crisis by immediately implementing "FEMA-style" tents with access to specialized medical care, as well as daytime access to shelters, safe places to store homeless people's items, same-day access to detox centers and transportation to get there. She is supported by the conservative anti-homeless group Speak Out Seattle.
Juarez is the best choice in this race.
