City We're Turning the Election Into a Mud Pit!
Posted by Dominic Holden on Tue, Jul 14, 2009 at 2:05 PM
Everyone running for city council will be on stage. Put your questions and demands for them in comments—pressing policy issues, truth or dare, feats of strength, pudding wrestling—and Washington Bus's Toby Crittenden will ask the best ones. Then you, the no-admission-paying audience member, decide when you've heard enough by texting your least favorite candidates off the island.
Free admission! Full bar! Lightning rounds! Face off between City Attorney Candidate Pete Holmes and incumbent City Attorney Tom Carr (assuming Carr shows up)! And more drinks!

It would be helpful if the flyer specified what the people are candidates for (mayor, KC exec, city council...)

J. Lo @ 1) As the post says, Candidate Survivor involves all candidates for city council and maybe the city attorney's race.

Here is a question i would like to see for the city council candidates: Where do you stand on the tunnel? Should the city build it? If so, how will we pay for it, and is it the best use of our transit dollars?

They should issue color-coded hats for the candidates.
I envision a beanie propeller for City Attorney, a cop's hat for the KC exec, a green sweatshirt hoodie for Seattle Mayor, and black cat masks for Seattle City Council ...

With the recent rise in youth violence, particularly in SE Seattle, coupled with recent cuts to SPD's Gang Unit, truancy officers, library hours, community center funding, etc.... How do you plan to change the city's budget priorities to address youth education and community-building outside of the school day?

For a more sober, ordinary, Candidate Forum, try the Capitol Hill/ Central District Neighbors' forum, which will be 6 - 9 PM on Monday July 27th at Mt. Zion Baptist Church, 19th & Madison. All the details: http://tinyurl.com/cap-cd-forum
We'll have all the candidates for City Council & Mayor, and District 5 School Board candidates, all answering questions submitted by the audience. Dull but informative.

Yeah, but you probably won't let them ask non-screened questions ... given how campaigns frequently use those to do attack pieces on their opponents. Right, Andrew?

@2 - Saw that; thank you. I was thinking more along the lines if the flyer got printed out to use for advertising.
