SEATTLE — Seattle mayor Bruce Harrell is officially running for re-election.
He registered his re-election campaign on Monday, saying in part, “There is more work to do - this is the time for proven leadership to stand up for our values and keep Seattle moving forward as a city that is welcoming, affordable, and safe.”
If re-elected, Mayor Harrell would be Seattle’s first mayor elected to a second term in two decades.
His campaign plans to build on previous work, with Harrell highlighting numerous endorsements and accomplishments in public safety solutions, an 80% decrease in tent encampments, and affordable housing investments.
Mayor Harrell’s full statement:
“During my first term, we’ve made real progress and put our One Seattle approach into action – advancing our shared priorities by uniting the people of our city together around common values. We’ve delivered public safety solutions, kept parks and sidewalks open and accessible while moving people into shelter and housing with services, made historic investments in affordable housing, prioritized a transportation system focused on safety, and passed nation-leading climate legislation. But there is more work to do – this is the time for proven leadership to stand up for our values and keep Seattle moving forward as a city that is welcoming, affordable, and safe. Today, I registered my re-election campaign and look forward to kicking off this effort early next year.”
Harrell will publicly kick off his re-election campaign early next year, find more at BruceforSeattle.com.
