From today's SeattlePI, Seattle City Council District 5 might have its first named candidate, Rev. Sandy Brown.
I wonder if he will call himself a political Independent.
He also might want to walk off the I-594 current controversy.
Pastor, gun safety advocate likely to run for Seattle City Council
The Rev. Sandy Brown, who recently stepped down as senior minister at Seattle First United Methodist Church, is "strongly leaning toward" running for the Seattle City Council in next year's new district based elections.JOSHUA TRUJILLO / SEATTLEPI.COM
as the campaign for Initiative 594 is officially launched at First United Methodist Church in Seattle. If passed by voters, the initiative will expand background checks to all gun sales.
Brown would run from District 5 at the far north end of the Emerald City.
"I'm being encouraged by friends to run and I've arranged my employment to make it happen," Brown said in answering a Facebook query. "I live in District 5 and am excited about the possibility of representing my district on the Council."
Brown is walking before making a final decision to run.
He has just finished hiking from Florence to Rome in Italy, research for a guidebook on the Way of St. Francis. He expects to be home from the Eternal City and make a decision soon after Labor Day.
