In its rush to replace Sally Clark, Seattle City Council members met in a closed-door session Friday to talk about the 43 applicants for the job. Thenâoutside of that secret meeting, according to Council President Tim Burgessâcouncil members told Burgess who they supported.
Here's the eight finalists that shook out of that process, and who on the council voted for whom, according to Burgess:
Jan Drago (Supported by: Jean Godden, Bruce Harrell, Tom Rasmussen); Noel Frame (Supported by: Sally Bagshaw, Burgess, Godden, Nick Licata, Rasmussen, Mike OâBrien); Sharon Lee (Supported by: Harrell, Rasmussen, Kshama Sawant); Sharon Maeda (Supported by: Harrell, OâBrien, Licata, Sawant); David Moseley (Supported by: Bagshaw, Burgess, Godden, Rasmussen); John Okamoto (Supported by: Bagshaw, Burgess, Godden, Harrell, Licata, OâBrien, Rasmussen); Sheley Secrest (Supported by: Harrell, OâBrien, Sawant); Alec Stephens (Supported by: Burgess, Harrell, OâBrien).
