The Magnolia Chamber of Commerce believes that an educated, engaged electorate is one of the key aspects of a thriving community. To assist our Chamber members, the local business community, and Magnolia residents better understand our mayoral and Seattle city council position 9 candidates – both are open races with no incumbent seeking re-election – we have asked each major candidate in the two open races to fill out a questionnaire and participate in a MagTalk video interview covering topics important to the Magnolia neighborhood. To read and view candidate responses to the Magnolia Chamber questions, please click on the replies and videos we have received from participating candidates, posted below. To gain additional insights on the open seat candidates this election cycle, please visit the Seattle Times special election coverage.
