Seattle and King County can’t solve our biggest challenges alone. Real progress requires partnership. That’s why Erika Evans and I will team up to build safer neighborhoods, support people in crisis, and stand up for workers. But before we can get to work, we need you. Return before Tuesday!

Today's column: "You may not have heard of the Working Families Party, but of the five Seattle citywide candidates endorsed by them, at least four won their Nov. 4 general election races: Eddie Lin, Erika Evans, Dionne Foster and Alexis Mercedes Rinck."

I chatted with Erika Evans a few days ago to discuss her vision for the Seattle City Attorney's office.

Eddie Lin, Erika Evans, Dionne Foster and Alexis Mercedes Rinck were among the candidates whose campaigns were boosted by the progressive Working Families Party.

Erika Evans will begin her term as elected city attorney of Seattle on Jan. 1.

Hey #Seattle, I’m running for re-election next year! And I’m kicking off my campaign with a really fun book party 🤓📚! There will be cozy reading time! Erika Evans and I are going to talk about our plans! You can donate a kid’s book!RSVP TODAY! : secure.actblue.com/donate/12.8....

In the past fifty years of Seattle elections, the 2025 Dream Team are now the top four vote-getters of any general election campaign. The number of people who voted for that slate is greater than the total population of Skagit County.

The Rinck, Evans, and Foster campaigns are now officially ranked 2nd, 9th, and 13th, respectively, in total votes received in general elections in Seattle going back to 1973. AMR now holds the top two spots. And counting is far from done.

Seattle, together we rise.

Thank you to everyone who came through for our general campaign kickoff! Big thanks to @nickbrownnow.bsky.social @jayapal.house.gov We're going to get this done in November because we're fighters—for our values, our rights, and for justice here in Seattle. Let's go, Team!

Join @jayapal.house.gov and @nickbrownnow.bsky.social and many others to support Seattle’s next City Attorney @electerikaevans.bsky.social this Saturday from 12:30-2 pm at a Cap Hill wine shop (address provided with RSVP)!

We are deeply honored to have all four King County Councilmembers who represent parts of Seattle endorsing this campaign.

President Trump is sending troops to intimidate communities in the PNW. Seattle deserves a City Attorney who will stand up to authoritarianism—not call it "an emotional response”. As your next City Attorney, I will always fight for our rights and our city with courage and urgency. #Seattle

‪Honored to have the sole endorsement of visionary, trailblazing Councilmember Alexis Mercedes Rinck. Thank you, @alexis4seattle.bsky.social

We are honored to have the sole endorsement of Washington State Attorney General Nick Brown. His leadership and commitment to justice inspire my own work. Together, we'll fight back against hate, stand up to Trump-era attacks on our rights, and keep our communities safe for all people.

The numbers are clear: Seattleites want a change in the City Attorney's Office. We need an experienced public servant who will defend our communities, and l have a plan to do just that.
