Casting my vote for:

COUNCILMEMBER LORENA GONZALEZ (Seattle, WA): Councilmember Lorena González has served on various local, regional and national non-profit boards, including OneAmerica, OneAmerica Votes, National Council of La Raza, Northwest Area Foundation and Washington State Association for Justice. She is also a founding member of the National Advisory Committee for the Latino Victory Project - a national movement that builds power in the Latino community so that the faces and voices of Latinos are reflected at every level of government and in the policies that drive our country forward. Councilmember Gonzalez has led the Council in promoting reform and progressive policies in the area of the nation's most pressing challenges: police accountability and protecting our immigrant and refugee residents.

COUNCILMEMBER WES BELLAMY (Charlottesville, VA): Councilmember Wes Bellamy was the Vice-Mayor at the time of last year’s horrifying white supremacist rally in Charlottesville that captured the nation’s attention. He has been a fearless leader this year in the face of personal attacks and being targeted by white supremacists. Amidst all of that, he has led a robust equity focused agenda, including the racial equity package he shared at last year’s convening, being a vocal advocate for civilian oversight of police, working to defend immigrant communities and most recently successfully securing low-cost internet for all public housing.

COUNCILMEMBER LAUREN KUBY (Tempe, AZ): Through her constant and relentless pursuit of progressive policies, Lauren Kuby has changed the way municipal politics is done in AZ. She single-handedly shifted the political center to the left in Tempe and the surrounding cities. No one has done more for progressive ideals in AZ over the last 10 years than Lauren Kuby. She has been a leader in sustainability measures and environmental protection, and supported equal, earned sick days, and campaign-finance reform. Kuby continues to push progressive measures, even in the face of state preemption. Most recently, she spearheaded a local ballot initiative and city charter amendment to cap political contributions from individuals and political-action committees.
