SEATTLE — Councilmember Dan Strauss has confirmed he will seek re-election to the Seattle city council.
Strauss announced his plans to seek a second term on Wednesday.
The incumbent councilmember represents District 6, which includes northwest Seattle neighborhoods such as Ballard, Greenlake and Magnolia.
“During the past four years, we’ve been hit with a pandemic, an exploding homelessness population, a racial reckoning over policing practices, increasing crime rates, and a shortage of housing,” Strauss said in a news release. “I’ve worked hard to help improve Northwest Seattle, and I have an ambitious plan to tackle Seattle’s problems.”
All seven district positions will appear on the ballot this November. Strauss is one of three incumbent councilmembers seeking re-election, along with Tammy Morales, who represents District 2, and Andrew Lewis, who represents District 7.
Strauss says he plans to kick off his campaign with a listening tour in Magnolia, an area of the city which was just added to his district last fall.
