Who to Vote For?
Update : I had it wrong so let's be clear. The Seattle School districts up for election are 1(currently held by Peaslee),2 (currently held by Carr). 3 (currently held by Martin-Morris), and 6 (currently held by McLaren). End of update In discussions with friends and neighbors, I find two kinds of voters. The "I got my ballot, filled it out and mailed it already" and the "I'm waiting until the last minute" voter. I'm somewhere in-between. I'm going to give you my picks for School Board but also throw out some picks for City Council as I think the make-up of the City Council could have a large affect on Seattle Schools (given the aggressive nature of Mayor Murray on this issue). Note: in the primary you only vote for a School Board candidate if your district is up for election this year. However, after the primary, in the General election, you WILL be voting for four candidates.
