The SECB has real concerns Michael Maddux might work himself into a quaalude stupor and be found parked on some Laurelhurst lawn muttering about how it all could have gone so well for him in Northeast Seattle’s District 4. (The phrase “our very own Rob Ford” was actually thrown around in our meetings.) The dude tends to act first and think later.
But if that happens—we hope it won’t—it’ll at least be interesting. You know what would be worse? Another four years of Jean Godden. While the city outside her office burns in a garbage fire of rent hikes, hate crimes, and racist cops, Jean Godden is napping at her desk until the mayor calls and asks her to do his bidding. Sure, Godden talks a lot about gender pay equity, but she’s not getting shit done on that issue. Meanwhile, she’s flat-out ignoring other pressing issues. Godden couldn’t even bring herself to list housing affordability on the “Issues” page of her campaign website. NEXT, PLEASE.
Michael Maddux will be the anti-Godden.
