From Joy for Seattle
I am humbled and honored to be chosen by District 3 voters to represent our communities on the Seattle City Council. As someone whose family has called this neighborhood home for three generations – raised in our district and grew up in its schools, community centers, and parks – I cannot wait to start serving you.
I would like to thank Alex Hudson for a well-run and cordial campaign. I learned a lot from our time together about transportation and housing, knowledge I will absolutely take with me over the next four years. I look forward to watching her continue to serve our city.
Thank you Seattle. Im humbled and honored to be chosen to serve you as our Seattle City Council District 3 Representative.
Our work begins today. Looking forward to building our home together.

Since our official launch in January, I have had the opportunity to hear from thousands of voters at their doors and in the community, and the message was clear – Seattle wants effective leadership on public safety, homelessness, housing, affordability, city infrastructure, youth engagement and support for our small businesses.
I promise to be accessible, and transparent. I promise to fully serve each neighborhood. From Capitol Hill, First Hill, Central District, Madrona, Eastlake, Montlake, North Capitol Hill, Madison Park, Madison Valley, Judkins, Leschi, Mt. Baker and Portage Bay — Everyone will have a voice.
We are focused on building community and solving problems together, that’s the Seattle I know and that’s the one I grew up with. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, the work begins today. Let’s build Seattle to be our home.
What a wonderful and optimistic statement! Joy is like a breath of fresh air for our city.
Can you get SDOT to put bollards or raised curbs on the protected bike lanes on E. Union? The paint and flexiposts do nothing. Same with the lane on Broadway; local business use it for loading and unloading. A bollard every block would make the lanes safer.
Please please please! More bollards and raised curbs to protect non-drivers!
Congrats Joy Hollingsworth! I hope Hudson applies for transportation director as that passion and experience for transit is something we need for our city.
Ugh, this era can’t end soon enough. I cannot believe we have to endure Saka and Hollingsworth, 12 year Councilmember and guy-who-shaped-the-very-Seattle-people-whine-about Harrell’s two puppets, for four whole years.
