Putting Ron Davis in this seat might represent the biggest glow-up for any other district in this election cycle. We’d be trading outgoing Council Member Alex Pedersen–the NIMBYest landlord simp known to man–for an eat-the-rich urbanist with premium policy chops and a fire in his belly to fight for dense housing, anti-rent-gouging policies, transit, progressive revenue, and pedestrian safety. That’s great, because there’s really no other option.
Davis, an entrepreneur, is running against civil engineer Kenneth Wilson and Seattle Office of Arts and Culture Deputy Director Maritza Rivera. Do not take those candidates seriously.
