Analysis

Jordan Royer did not submit an endorsement questionnaire or participate in an endorsement interview, and so we know little about him other than what appears on his website and in the media. On Mr. Royer’s website, he is supportive of transit-oriented development, smart growth, and alternative transportation. He also rightly urges the city to do more about polluted stormwater seeping into our lakes, rivers, and Puget Sound.

Still, Mr. Royer’s most significant civic experience appears to be as a City of Seattle employee; he was a policy advisor to Mayors Paul Schell and Greg Nickels, leaving city government in 2007. We’re looking for something different this year---a time when we need fresh perspectives and new leadership on the City Council. And without interviewing him, we got little sense of his positions on other issues, his analytical abilities, or his values. So we recommend not voting for Mr. Royer.

Interview
