Description
The debate is between Maren Costa, former design leader for Adobe, Amazon and Microsoft, and Rob Saka, an attorney, justice reform advocate and Air Force veteran.
Costa is a climate activist and advisor for startups Power Bloom Solar, Carbon Zero, and Impact Karma. Costa said she was illegally fired from Amazon in April 2020 for "standing up for climate justice and for warehouse workers’ safety." Her priorities include public safety, housing and green economic policies.
Saka has served on the King County Charter Review Commission and Mayor Bruce Harrell's Seattle Police Chief Search Committee. Saka's priorities include public safety and homelessness and housing.
Costa received 33% of the vote while Saka received 24% in the August primary.
