In this episode intern Emma Young had a chance to interview John Lombard, candidate for Seattle City Council District 5. The Seattle Municipal Primary Election will be held August 6. Learn more about the candidates running for office in your community at www.Vote-USA.org! Transcription Seattleites will go to the polls on Tuesday August 6th to vote in the primary election. Seattle’s seven district city council seats are on the ballot. Between all seven districts, 56 candidates are running with a wide array of backgrounds ranging from a former spy, a Peace Corps volunteer, and a scientist. All city council members hold a four year term. To run for district city council, potential candidates must have resided in the district for at least 120 before filing or declaring a candidacy, must live in their district during their term, and must be a registered City of Seattle voter. City council members earn $62.11 per hour resulting in an annual salary of around $120,000. This election will be the first in which candidates running for district city council seats can use Democracy Vouchers. In 2015, Seattleites approved the Honest Elections Seattle Initiative to make elections more fair and transparent which includes the Democracy Voucher Program. Seattle is the first city in the country to implement a program like this. The program stipulates that the Seattle Ethics and Elections Committee distributes four $25 vouchers to each eligible recipient. The recipient can assign their voucher to any city council candidate who is participating in this program. The Ethics and Elections Committee will disburse the value of the voucher to the campaign of the voter’s choice. Not all candidates participate in the program as it is voluntary. Out of the 56 candidates running for city council, 32 are accepting Democracy Vouchers.
