| Angel Bolanos for Seattle City Council
from Bolanos Campaign
Seattle City Council candidate Angel Bolanos gets around. Since filing his candidacy back in January, Bolanos has worked tirelessly to connect with Seattle citizens--ringing doorbells, attending marches and rallies, and visiting a myriad of community events. His mission? To unseat incumbent Jim Compton and become the first Latino immigrant to be elected to City Council.
Bolanos welcomes every opportunity to speak about the issues he feels most passionate about: Living Wages, Police Accountability, and Balanced Neighborhood Revitalization.
"These three issues affect every neighborhood in our community," Bolanos explains. "All over the United States we see examples of how Seattle can become a more livable city. More than 77 cities and counties across the country have living wage ordinances. If Boston, Omaha, and Minneapolis can create legislation that treats workers with dignity, so can Seattle. When we look at our efforts to address police brutality and racial profiling, Seattle's Office of Professional Accountability is toothless compared to the Citizen Police Review Boards found in Las Vegas, San Diego and Pittsburgh. And as for our neighborhoods, we need to pull away from granting every wish and financial break to large corporations and create business opportunities for small local entrepreneurs. Business incubators can provide small, local businesses with the support they need to survive. This has proven successful in Birmingham, Pittsburgh, and Fulton County, Georgia. The time has come for change."
