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.

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.

Leaders in both parties like the Universal Service Fund. But lobbying and Washington politics are making it nearly impossible to fix. buff.ly/3OJzVUf?
