Primary Election Issue

VOTE. What if it matters again? 

The Stranger's 2025 Primary Endorsements

Vote Yes on Seattle's Proposition No. 1

We created a first-of-its-kind public funding model for city political campaigns. We need it now more than ever. 

The Stranger Endorses Katie Wilson for Mayor

Seattle has a time-honored tradition of producing one-term mayors. Let’s make Harrell one of them

Vote for Alexis Mercedes Rinck for City Council Position 8

This election has the chance to reshape our city council into a functioning governing body, and we want to see what Rinck can do when she’s not swimming upstream

Vote for Erika Evans for City Attorney

The former assistant US Attorney is our choice to beat Ann Davison, make the City Attorney’s office effective and fair, and protect Seattle from the Trump administration

Vote for Dionne Foster for City Council Position 9

A vote for Sara Nelson is a vote for nihilism. A vote for Foster is a vote for intelligence, compassion, solutions, and a chance for Seattle's future

Vote for Eddie Lin for City Council District 2

He's a wonk with a thirst for progressive revenue and a resume fit for a housing crisis.
