This is an unusually crowded primary, with Seattle voters and candidates flooding forums, town halls, blogs and living rooms with new ideas, visions and energy towards solving the challenges facing our city.

Thank you to my husband and children, our campaign team, and our volunteers and supporters for their relentless commitment to making Seattle a better place for everyone. Thank you to the Stranger, the Urbanist and the many voters who expressed their support for our ideas and vision for Seattle.

Seattle’s voters won’t let the future of our city be sunk by status quo thinking and politics as usual. There is too much at stake. We look forward to the next few days of returns from King County elections.

Thank you.
