Below are all of Real Change's interviews with the 2023 Seattle City Council and King County Council candidates. As soon as possible after the conclusion of the primary election, Real Change reaches out to arrange interviews with all candidates moving on to the general election. Candidates have until the end of September to arrange an interview. All candidates are given the same amount of time for their interview and asked the same questions, with minor variations for follow-up or clarifying questions. However, we endeavor to make every interview as uniform as possible.
We will post interviews as they are published in the physical paper and add links here, so make sure to check back each week. Read up on your district's race to find out where our your future leaders stand on homelessness, housing affordability, public safety, transit and more. And don't forget to vote on or before November 7!
