Nelson is all about bringing accountability back to city hall. COURTESY OF THE NELSON CAMPAIGN
Fremont Brewing co-owner Sara Nelson considers herself a progressive small business owner, and she thinks Seattle is missing that small-business voice on its city council. If elected, her main priority will be Seattle s economic recovery. Sponsored Tickets $15-$250. Aphrodesia delivery menu, incredible auction items, live streamed performances.
That s the basic pitch driving her run for Seattle City Council Position 9, the citywide position vacated by Council President Lorena Gonzalez, who is running for Mayor.
Nelson, who has a background as a city council aide, is vying for the seat along with master s student Claire Grant, Gonzalez s chief of staff Brianna Thomas, and activist and lawyer Nikkita Oliver.
