2025 City of Seattle Candidate Questionnaire 

In early July 2025, SHSC sent a 20-question human services-focused survey to candidates running for Seattle Mayor, City Attorney, and City Council. Our 2025 Candidate Questionnaire allows candidates to share their views on important human services issues in Seattle, helping residents make informed decisions when they cast their votes. Click the names below to read the candidates’ responses. 

Note: All candidates who filed were invited to participate, and those who took the time to address our questions are hyperlinked below. Some candidates chose not to respond or did not respond in time; we will continue to post their responses as they are received. 

The questions were submitted by SHSC members and cover a broad range of human service issues in our region, each of which affects the daily lives of every Seattle resident.
