Tanya brings years of experience fighting for Seattle's most vulnerable. As a community activist, she led street-level safety patrols, provided aid to unhoused neighbors, and fought gentrification and racism. On City Council, Tanya wants to re-focus Seattle City Council on keeping its most basic promises. She'll be a common-sense voice to get local government back on track.
A MESSAGE FROM TANYA
I was born and raised in Seattle, and I’ve always been inspired by the strength of our communities. I entered this race because our leaders have stopped truly listening to the people. I believe in a Seattle where the community’s voice drives real solutions that address everyday needs.
This election presents a clear choice. My opponent backs policies that would take Seattle backward and don’t align with what most Seattleites want. As your City Councilmember, I am committed to standing with the community, delivering progress that reflects our shared values, and ensuring our city moves forward—not back.

Affordable Housing
I’m a community advocate, small restaurant owner, and your newest City Councilmember. I believe Seattle can make progress on its big challenges … but only if we don’t go back.
On the streets, I saw local and regional leadership failing to show up where it mattered most—at the ground level. I saw them turning a blind eye to communities crying out for public safety. I’ve been there, holding the hands of overdose victims who didn’t survive. Those moments moved me to act. Through my work with Night Watch and other community efforts, I’m on the front lines, fighting for a safer, more responsive Seattle.
There is a clear choice
in this election.
We can't go back to failed policies. Tanya is the only candidate who:
✔ Supports fully funding public safety, both police and unarmed responses​
✔ Supports reforming the Regional Homelessness Authority from the top down
✔ Opposes rolling back laws allowing the city to remove problem encampments
Tanya's opponent supports returning to these failed policies of the past.
Tanya will keep Seattle moving forward.

Seattle is facing many big challenges. Unfortunately, for years, local leaders failed to address them realistically.
I believe that Seattle City Council needs to get back to what matters: keeping Seattle a safe, affordable place to live.
As your Councilmember, I'm willing to say "no" to the failed approaches of the past. Here's how I'm working to change Seattle's approach.
