On the Ballot: Alexis Mercedes Rinck - Seattle City Council Position 8
Description
November’s general election could bring a group of new faces to Seattle City Government.
Today we’re diving into the race for City Council’s Position 8 seat. That’s a city-wide post, representing ALL of Seattle, as opposed to just one geographic district.
The incumbent in this race is Councilmember Alexis Mercedes Rinck.
She won the seat after a special election last year. Now, Rinck is widely seen as the most progressive voice on the council. In this summer’s primary, she got a whopping 78% of the vote.
This fall, Rinck is facing off against a REPUBLICAN business owner in the general election: Rachel Savage.
GUEST: Seattle City Councilmember Alexis Mercedes Rinck
