Do you all remember the stupid waterfront ideas she pushed and how she fought the tunnel with a preference for traffic spilling into the streets of downtown Seattle? I think that garnered 10% of the vote--likely her campaign team and a few friends from her husband's architecture firm. <br /><br />Moon has NO management experience. The Mayor is the city manager with huge levels of budget and civic responsibility.

Moon's approach to allow insanctioned encampments and RV living around the city is not a direction I support. They are otherwise practically identical on every other issue, other than approach and tone. In my opinion, the attacks on Durkin's tone are the same as what I saw the Bernie supporters to to Hillary. To call Durkin--lesbian mother of two, social and civil rights fighter--a conservative is mind blowing and is what tears the Democratic Party apart, and does not support smart strong women leaders and change agents. <br /><br />Go HighAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-42427074130150500292017-11-03T12:57:57.145-07:002017-11-03T12:57:57.145-07:00Cary Moon has a great education platform, includin...Cary Moon has a great education platform, including proposals to fix the Families and Education Levy: http://www.carymoonformayor.com/2017/09/19/cary-moons-four-part-plan-to-bring-equity-to-education/<br /><br />It was one of the main reasons I voted for her.Robert Cruickshankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06906581839066570472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-20760345246194826902017-11-03T12:54:19.133-07:002017-11-03T12:54:19.133-07:00HP, that mayoral vote is tough.
