Nathe Lawver, the Political Director at Laborers Local 252, is running for Tacoma City Council in District 1. He has served as chair of the Pierce County Human Services Coalition and on the Tacoma Environmental Services Commission, as well as on the boards of the Sweet Hope Foundation, Healthy Tacoma, and United Way. While working at United Food and Commercial Workers Local 367, he helped pass the city's landmark $15 minimum wage and sick leave laws. Lawver's top campaign priorities include affordable housing, updating the city's infrastructure, and working on the city's mental health needs.
Lawver's opponent is John Hines, an instructional facilitator at the Department of Academic Equity and Access for the Tacoma Public School District. Hines states that if elected, he would lead the city "back to the basics" of providing essential services like road work, expanding law enforcement, and "removing blight and increasing security" of neighborhoods.
Lawver has secured an impressive number of endorsements from the progressive community and is the best choice in this race.Last updated: 2023-04-05Nathe Lawver
