Your City. Your Candidate.
As you look through this pamphlet, you may notice that many of the words thrown around by the career politicians start losing their meaning. Leadership. Vision. Experience. While Scott Kennedy has all these qualities, he urges voters to focus on who the candidates are, rather than what they say. Do they have the character to keep your needs a priority? Do they really have the drive and passion to lead and inspire the city?
Scott is a bright, honest, hard-working local businessman who has always been active in his community, and is running because of his love of Seattle, and concern that city control has been slowly drifting in favor of the wealthy few. He
believes restoring that balance is vital to our quality of life, and can only be accomplished by a passionate, honest citizen.
At 34, Scott has swiftly become the most promising young candidate to challenge the establishment. Calling himself the only "truly independent Democrat", he has contributed more money to his own campaign than any other candidate, and has written extensively about what he will do to tackle the list of challenges this city faces.
When the average hard-working family must earn 2.8 times their current salary to buy a house, and high rents are driving people from their homes, affordable housing is clearly at the top of that list. When economically devastating
traffic congestion is rated second worse in the country, votes for building a monorail are ignored, and millions of tax dollars are wasted in leaderless exploratory sub-committees, transportation is also a top priority.
When planting city trees takes precedent over protecting our streams, lakes and greenbelts, and bloated development projects push urban sprawl further into our forests, our environmental health becomes a critical issue. And when
a city refuses to empower independent civilian review boards for its police, schools, and other branches of government, the lack of accountability becomes dangerously irresponsible.
"I represent the best long-term interests of citizens. And I mean all citizens. But don't take my word for it... come visit me personally, and buy a Kennedy For Mayor Coffee to support my campaign."
Come see Scott work, eat and sleep on the roof of his headquarters starting Sunday 9/16, and see for yourself that this candidate has nothing to hide. (Denny exit off I-5 south, corner of Denny & Stewart downtown Seattle).
Vote Kennedy September 18th.
