It’s a necessity.” Read full endorsement here.

 

“During a time when Seattle needs strong leadership, Harrell stands out from a crowded field as the right person at the right time. Harrell’s unique perspective of equity, inclusion, job growth and common-sense policies is a combination for meaningful progress that voters should not overlook.” Read full endorsement here.
