Mayor-elect McGinn's First Transition Message

Mayor-elect Mike McGinn produced his first video message as part of his transition efforts.

Mayor-elect McGinn discusses his plans for an inclusive process, which will include aggressive community outreach and three town halls.

Fight the illegal PAC attacking Mike McGinn

The Working for Seattle PAC, a group comprising conservative business interests, anti-light-rail rich folks from the Eastside, and the firefighters union, raised $100,000 to hit Mike McGinn with negative ads.

Yesterday, the PAC was fined $5,000 by the Seattle Ethics and Elections Commission (SEEC) for violations of Seattle election law. "I wouldn’t have filed charges if I didn’t think it was serious,” said the Executive Director of the SEEC, yesterday.

To fight back, the McGinn campaign needs the help of the members and supporters of Friends of Seattle. As he does, we believe in a bright green future for Seattle.

The mayor's race will be decided in the air -- ads -- and on the ground -- phone calls from voter to vote.

McGinn needs the help of his grassroots army to win, and you are a part of that army.

McGinn's tunnel attacks pretty specifically targeted the Mayor in the primary, but Mallahan supports the plan for an underground tunnel too. So even if Nickels is knocked out, that fight lives on. As to the controversy over cost overruns, Mallahan says it won't be an issue thanks to his history of business management. He had this to say in response to a questionnaire from Friends of Seattle: "I have years of experience managing projects and working with contractors to bring projects in on time and on budget. Through rigorous oversight and constant communication, I do not anticipate cost overruns to be charged to the people or businesses in Seattle."
