With voting in Seattle’s first city council elections by district starting next month, our news partner The Seattle Times is asking readers:
“What’s the most important issue in your district?”
Seattle City Council elections will be a bit different this year, with voters electing representatives by district for the first time.
The change has drawn a larger and more diverse pool of candidates than in years past, with nearly 50 candidates vying for seven district seats and two at-large positions. The tone of the campaigns is also different as many of the candidates work to appeal to voters on hyperlocal, neighborhood issues.
What is the most important issue in your district? What will you ask a candidate who rings your doorbell or appears at a public forum?
To participate, take the Times’ survey here. You will be asked for your name, email address, phone number and cross streets.
The Times is in the beginning stages of mapping the responses along the lines at right.
There are also questions about identifying specific issues, and what you’d like to see done about them.
