Politics Two Unknown Quantities

The race for Seattle City Council Position 4 is down to two candidates, neither of whom who have held [a Seattle] office before: David Bloom, a progressive minister, and Sally Bagshaw, who worked in the King County Prosecutor's Office.

Who would best represent your interests—and get things done—as a city lawmaker?

Ask them questions in Electionland, the Stranger's online Town Hall forum that you can read while drinking a beer. You can also check out their bios. Write your questions in advance, like right now, and Bloom and Bagshaw will answer Tuesday from 1:00 p.m to 3:00 p.m. Lots of folks have asked questions, and you can vote on the best and worst of them.

Recently in Electionland: City Attorney candidates Tom Carr vs. Pete Holmes, City Council candidates Jessie Israel vs. Nick Licata, and Housing Levy advocates Anna Markee vs. Kirk Robbins. The complete schedule for every major local race—through the rest of October—is HERE.

I believe Sally has held office before, not in Seattle, but in Lake Forest Park. She was on their City Council.

Yeah, she definitely has. Her experience in suburbia goes a long way towards explaining her conservative bent.

So does this mean she's dressing up as sexy Hitler for Halloween?

I thought for a minute he was Larry David in that half-face Electionland image at the top of the page:

Really, Will? Was that really necessary?
