I'm a Seattle native and I ran for city council in 2011 in order to make my hometown a better place. To me that means creating more vibrant neighborhoods, implementing better transit and establishing economic policies that would make Seattle a more dynamic city. Those ideas influenced public debate during the campaign and helped earn about 40 percent of the vote on Election Day.
In the weeks since, my professional focus has shifted and I plan to spend more time thinking about communications, organizational strategy and policy issues from a more global perspective. I still love my hometown and this blog will give me an outlet when I have something to say. Expect some local politics mixed in with other observations as new opportunities unfold. Please let me know what you think. Thanks for reading!
