Sad to see big real estate team up with right wing culture warriors and put $1M into buying Seattle's election.
They are approaching $300k in my race alone.

And @marencosta is a public broadband champion!
We've heard that ChrisTiana is passionate about public broadband. Ask them about it on the campaign trail!
Which other candidates running for office support a public broadband option? Ask them! They need to hear directly from voters that this is a priority.

Lots of folks have been working on projects like this in Seattle for a long time. It's important work. This is the bare minimum and so much more needs to happen.
