Election Prep: Port of Seattle Commissioner Position No 2

Once again two candidates, this time theoretically non-partisan:

And the official voter pamphlet here.

These are going to get pretty short, as I am running low on time.

Anyway, from the vote pamphlet alone I was leaning toward Tarleton. I liked what she was saying about making things public, openness, etc. But then I went to her website. It was all about slamming her competitor, and it was very partisan focused for a supposedly non-partisan position. She just lost my vote on that alone. My vote is for:

Bob Edwards

[Edit about 5 minutes later]

Hmmm…. OK. That was a bit flip. I spent a few more minutes reading stuff on both websites. I do like the transparency stuff. And in general I was more attracted to what she was saying policy wise. Bob Edwards site was pretty sparse on future plans as opposed to past things. I will revise this. I’ll go ahead and vote for Tarleton in spite of the bad taste the front page of her website left on me. So my vote is… really this time…

Gael Tarleton
