Daniel Norton...Standing Tall for Seattle's Future. "Norton Wants to Give Power to the People," Seattle Press , 3-23-99 For more than 20 years as a community activist and Democratic Party leader, Daniel Norton has been standing up for what's right and fighting for what's important to the people of Seattle. Daniel Norton is the only candidate in the race for Seattle City Council Position #1 who has a long record of fighting downtown corporate welfare while developing innovative ideas to improve Seattle's neighborhoods, transportation, and quality of life. When the billionaire owners of Seattle's sports teams demanded hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars to build new stadiums, Norton helped organize a grassroots civic watchdog group to fight these powerful interests. Daniel Norton will fight the Mariners latest plan to stick taxpayers with cost overruns at the new ballpark. When Nordstrom in a backroom deal demanded $78 million from the taxpayers for a parking garage and to open Pine Street to automobiles, Daniel Norton joined forces with Peter Steinbrueck and Nick Licata to co-found Friends of Westlake Park to fight the special interests. Daniel Norton will demand accountability to the taxpayers first when the city embarks on public-private partnerships. Daniel Norton is running for City Council to give ordinary citizens and our neighborhoods a progressive voice. On the Council, Daniel Norton will fight for: Transportation: Make public transportation more inexpensive, convenient and practical; expand discounted bus passes. Affordable Housing: Increase the stock of affordable housing for Seattle's working families while preserving existing low-cost housing; enact a renters bill of rights. City Services: Ensure all neighborhoods receive the same degree of basic services regardless of geography or economic conditions. Daniel Norton is endorsed by a broad cross-section of Seattle leaders including Governor Mike Lowry, Councilmembers Nick Licata and Peter Steinbrueck, King County Councilmember Maggie Fimia, Clint Pehrson, Camille Monzon, Larry Kenney, Eddie Rye Jr., Jeanne Legault, Janice Van Cleve, and Ron Lewis. Daniel Norton, 51, is an educator at Seattle Central Community College and lives in Greenwood. He has served as Chair of the King County Democrats and the 36th District Democrats, held leadership positions in peace and social justice organizations, and has private-sector experience. He is married to Andrea Heatherly and has three children and one granddaughter. Daniel Norton...Leadership Experience Integrity. |
