As Mayor, I’ve led with action — a billion for housing, safer streets, and standing up to Trump.

Continuing to make progress for you and our city.

During my first term, we’ve made real progress and put our One Seattle approach into action – advancing our shared priorities by uniting the people of our city together around common values. We’ve delivered public safety solutions, kept parks and sidewalks open and accessible while moving people into shelter and housing with services, made historic investments in affordable housing, prioritized a transportation system focused on safety, and passed nation-leading climate legislation. But there is more work to do – this is the time for proven leadership to stand up for our values and keep Seattle moving forward as a city that is welcoming, affordable, and safe.

Keeping residents safe is my highest priority. We’ve made great strides – rebuilding our police department to reduce crime, improve response times, decrease gun violence, and increase police staffing (highest application rate in a decade). Through our new health response unit trained in de-escalation, and targeting drug trafficking, we’re helping people in crisis and removing fentanyl from our streets. We’ll accelerate these strategies to bring peace of mind to every resident.

We’ll continue to take action on affordable housing and homelessness through compassionate solutions that get people indoors and build more housing faster. We’ve dedicated over $1 billion toward affordable housing, cutting red tape to accelerate new housing, doubling housing capacity over the next decades, and reducing unauthorized tent encampments by 80% with record numbers of shelter referrals, placements, and connections to services.

We’ll continue prioritizing a transportation system focused on safety, sidewalks, road infrastructure, bus and light rail; accelerate climate solutions; plant and protect trees; and build the future of Downtown and Seattle Center.

I will continue protecting Seattle– challenging Trump administration efforts to disrupt Seattle’s stance as a welcoming city for immigrants, LGBTQ, and BIPOC communities. I’ll ensure our rights and laws are respected.

I am a Seattle Public Schools and UW graduate, lifelong Seattle resident, and father deeply committed to the diversity and dynamism of our city. Let’s keep working together for a stronger, united Seattle. With your vote I’ll continue to focus on outcomes, make no excuses, and seek bold, transformative change.

Let’s Re-Elect Mayor Bruce Harrell!

“Bruce has been a strong partner to me in fighting the chaos and cruelty of the Trump Administration.”
– Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal

“It is critical that we present a strong, united city and state to combat Trump threats—Bruce is the partner I trust.””
– State Attorney General Nick Brown

“Seattle needs Bruce’s leadership in the fight to protect federal funding from Trump cuts.”
– Governor Bob Ferguson

Bruce is endorsed by the Seattle Times, MLK Labor Council, Seattle Firefighters, transit and housing advocates, diverse and progressive voices, fellow Democratic leaders, and more. A fighter for working families, unions representing more than 360,000 workers endorse Mayor Harrell. Bruce has built a coalition that is fighting for the affordability we need and the rights we must protect. Let’s keep working together for Seattle!

Former mayor, US Transportation Secretary, and advocate for LGBTQ+ rights joins growing list of national Democratic leaders endorsing Harrell: “Mayor Bruce Harrell is delivering the positive change Seattle needs–affordable housing, safer streets, and expanded child care. He is a principled, nationally recognized leader in the fight to protect the rights of marginalized communities, as reflected in his lifelong work for equity and fairness, and rooted in the experience of his own family. I’ve worked closely with him to deliver better infrastructure for the city and region, and have seen firsthand his commitment and effectiveness. I’m proud to support Bruce because he brings people together, turns vision into action, and is building a Seattle where everyone can thrive.”
