Another Contender! Teresa Mosqueda Teresa
Mosqueda is an incumbent Seattle City Council member serving
since 2017. “I’ve dedicated my career to making sure no one is left out or left behind. I grew up in the Pacific Northwest, am a third-generation Mexican-American, a Chicana, the daughter of educators and social justice activists. My little sister and I grew up going to rallies and making our own handmade signs supporting peace and calls for justice. I am so proud of what we have accomplished, but there is more to do to address homelessness and affordable housing, create more educational and childcare opportunities, create good living wage jobs, and invest in our health, transportation, and infrastructure. This is what creates healthy communities, and investing in the social determinants of health is what drives me. With your continued support, we can help our neighbors
recover stronger from COVID, re-energize our local economy,
and continue to build a Seattle that is inclusive and
equitable for all. More at www.teamteresa.org |

 Lance Randall |
The first
contender to join the ring is: Lance Randall - Mayoral Candidate 20 I want to leverage Seattle’s creativity and ingenuity to model a city where everyone can live freely, create, and prosper. I have pulled together a platform explaining my plan to address topics including dignity for the homelessness, economic rebound, revitalizing our music scene, rebuilding our infrastructure, public safety, and climate. This platform invests in our people, our culture, and our future. More at Lancerandall2021.com |
 Brianna Thomas |
Second contender to join the ring for District 9: Brianna Thomas and I am running for Seattle City Council because I am ready to lead on the policies necessary to move our city forward. Seattle has set the bar nationally for workers’ rights, livable wages, and police accountability, and I am proud to have led on these efforts from inside City Hall and in the community as an advocate and organizer. During my time at City Hall, I have led negotiations for Police Accountability legislation, the Surveillance Ordinance in collaboration with ACLU-WA, and the Secure Scheduling Ordinance, providing greater worker protections for employees in restaurants and retail. I established and stood up the City’s Office of the Inspector General (OIG) to ensure fairness and integrity in our law enforcement system. I have advanced solutions to our most pressing issues from a place of empathy and in pursuit of justice. |

Ronnie Senlo - Author "Dear Anita Bryant" Author, LGBT historian, and playwright Dr. Ronni Sanlo began writing plays in just the past few years. Her second play Dear Anita Bryant received the Robert J. Pickering Excellence in Playwriting award. The play follows Dr. Sanlo’s life when she lost custody of her children in 1979 in Florida when she came out as a lesbian. That pivotal event was influenced by the work of Anita Bryant as the story weaves its way around LGBTQ history. Now retired, Dr. Sanlo directed the UCLA LGBT Center and was a professor in the UCLA Graduate School of Education. Prior to her work in Higher Education, Ronni was an HIV epidemiologist in Florida from 1987 to 1994. She earned a bachelor’s degree in music from the University of Florida, and a masters and doctorate in education from the University of North Florida. Her new work is the four-volume compilation titled This Day in LGBTQ History (2021). Ronni and her wife Kelly Watson live in Palm Springs, CA and Sequim, WA where they spend time on their boat Strait Knot. |
