Other Candidates
Morales is facing a crowded field in District 2, including Chris Peguero, Phyllis Porter, Henry Dennison, Mark Solomon, Omari Tahir-Garrett, and Ari Hoffman. Peguero is a thoughtful progressive who has spent many years working on equity issues at Seattle City Light. He wants to use his knowledge of city government to make progress on homelessness and affordable housing. He believes housing is a human right and wants to increase multi-family housing through the city. He believes the Seattle Police Officer's Guild is the biggest obstacle to reforms and wants to increase implicit bias training for officers.
Porter is a progressive bike and transit advocate who has served on many community organizations, including as a member of Seattle Neighborhood Greenways and as vice president of the Rainier Riders Cycling Club.
On the other side, Mark Solomon founded a security company and has the backing of CASE, the electoral arm of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce. Ari Hoffman is running on a hard-line conservative platform. He regularly demonizes people experiencing homelessness and has repeatedly sought the Seattle Police Department's help to harass his political opponents. Hoffman has no place on the Seattle City Council.
