Katie Wilson: “We have twice as many homeless people in Seattle as we do shelter beds.”

I chose Andre Sayles because he has done this job before and can hit the ground running.

The single most important thing we can do to address our city’s homelessness crisis is to rapidly expand emergency housing and shelter with supportive services.

He’s equally at home deep-diving into housing policy and knocking on the doors of actual houses to hear from his neighbors about their lives and concerns.

I do not take lightly what it means to make decisions that affect people's safety and their lives.
