Seattle Election - The Smoke, Mirrors and Influence

Seattle does not need a CEO, it needs a community focused MAYOR. Mallahan is clearly out of his league with his attempt to enter the public service sector. The amount of influence that is pulling his puppet strings does not belong in city government.
