3. Planned Parenthood organizer and former field director for 2012's gay marriage law, Halei Watkins, announced her candidacy for North Seattle's new city council District 5 seat this morning.
District 5 includes Maple Leaf, Lake City, Broadview, and Watkins' neighborhood, Northgate. No City Council members currently live in the 5th, under Seattle's brand new districted system.
"I'm running because I believe that Seattle is quickly becoming the tale of two cities: one city for the wealthy and one for the rest of us. Like many Seattleites, my husband and I wonder if we will be able to afford to continue to live here, to raise a family here, to grow here," Watkins said in a press statement.
Watkins husband Jaret is a grocery worker and member of UFCW Local 21, the leftiest union in town.
