Davida Haygood is a community leader, mentor, organizer, and educator who is running for Puyallup City Council, District 2, Position 2. Haygood has served with a number of local organizations, namely the Two-Way Racial Healing Project, the City of Puyallup Design Review & Historic Preservation board, and the Collaboration for Effective Educator Development, Accountability, and Reform (CEEDAR). She works as a professor and interim director of education at Pierce College.
If elected, Haygood wants to draw on her leadership background to focus on anti-racism and social justice, equitable economic advancement, voter registration, Indigenous self-determination, and environmental justice. She hopes to work closely with the Puyallup Tribal Council on community issues and environmental stewardship. With her extensive and meaningful community involvement, Haygood is committed to the values of inclusion and reconciliation in Puyallup.
There has been discussion of Haygood's eligibility to run based on her two-year residency less than a mile outside of Puyallup city limits. Haygood stated that attorneys have advised her that she does meet the qualifications since she has lived for twelve years within city limits and temporarily rented for only those two years, while continuing to work in and send her kids to school in the city. The Pierce County Elections committee confirmed that she lived in-district during the time of her filing and that any challenges to her eligibility would occur after the general election.
While we continue to monitor any developments on this issue, we still recommend Haygood because of her progressive values and commitment to the community.
