Hello, friends. Do you think Seattle's
better off today than it was 10 years ago?
Do you feel vulnerable members of our community
have the support they need to improve their lives?
Do you feel safer?
Do you feel downtown represents the spirit
of Seattle?
There's only one honest answer
to all these questions -- "no."
Our homelessness crisis is getting worse.
Downtown is deteriorating.
Businesses are closing.
Residents feel unsafe. Roads need repairs.
And no current city leader
is taking responsibility.
That's why I'm running for Seattle Mayor.
My name is Art Langlie,
and I'm not a "more of the same" candidate.
I'll take Seattle down a different path,
starting by taking responsibility
for solving our homelessness crisis,
restoring a vibrant downtown,
reforming public safety,
and rebuilding infrastructure.
I'm the only candidate with a comprehensive plan
to end our homelessness emergency.
I will increase mental health
and recovery services in triage centers
and rapidly create housing
with critical wraparound services
to break the cycle of homelessness.
Seattle's breakdown of public safety,
crumbling roads, and declining downtown
are all symptoms of a serious problem.
Our current leaders no longer prioritize
delivering basic government services
with excellence.
I am the only candidate who understands
that city government must get the basics right,
from fixing potholes to keeping us safe.
I'm ready to take responsibility
and get to work for you,
but you have an important choice to make.
Will you choose more of the same
or will you choose a path toward recovery?
My name is Art Langlie,
and I would be honored to earn your vote.
I know that together we can do better.
