Tim brings people together. He listens, he learns, he leads.
My Vision
I'd like your support to be Seattle's next mayor!
Our city holds so much promise, and our city government can do so much better.
I want a police force that shares our values, a transportation department that prioritizes getting people and freight moving, and a school system that educates all our children and prepares them to lead our economy.
I’ve been a Seattle police officer, an international relief worker, and a small business owner who grew a company from a single employee (me) to over 150 people in offices around the globe.
These experiences taught me the value of using data to drive the best decisions, the importance of equality and social justice as an inherent right for all people, and the qualities it takes to be an effective leader: learning, listening, and making decisions.
On the City Council, I’ve tackled wage theft, helped young women as they took the first steps of motherhood, demonstrated the effectiveness of new police tactics, and led the fight for affordable housing.
We need change in Seattle. We can’t afford another four years of discord and aimlessness.
We need a city government that our people can be proud of again.
With your vote, we'll make it happen, and fulfill the promise of our great city.
