In that event, the city charter would give the remaining Seattle councilmembers 20 calendar days to fill her vacated seat. That would likely trigger a series of executive sessions, public forums, presentations from applicants for the seat, and eventually a vote by the sitting council. “I am running for King County Council District 8 to improve the opportunity for working families to be healthy, housed, and resilient,” said Mosqueda. “We can do this by investing in greater behavioral health and public health supports, expanding housing and displacement efforts that makes it possible for people to stay stably housed, and investing in what working families and small businesses need – affordable childcare, accessible transit, and good job opportunities.
As Budget Chair, Mosqueda said she worked with colleagues to include funding for reproductive rights and abortion care, mental health support for high school students, and funding for childcare centers to expand care to working families and small businesses.
