Kate Kruller

Candidate for Tukwila City Council, Position 5 in Tukwila, WA

I’m Kate Kruller, and I’m running to represent you on Tukwila City Council, Position 5. These past few years haven’t been easy. I know so many of our neighbors are working hard just to make ends meet, to keep a roof over their heads, to feel safe in their community, and to build a better future for their families. I see you, and I’m running because I believe every person in Tukwila deserves a city that has their back. That’s why I’m focused on what matters most: affordable housing, good jobs, public safety, and access to essential transportation. I’m the only candidate in this race with the experience, relationships, and record to keep fighting for our community. I’m honored to be endorsed by local city and county leaders, our state legislators, Congressman Adam Smith, labor unions, and Tukwila’s firefighters, people who know I’ll always show up and get things done. Please remember to vote by November 4, because your voice and your future matter. PAID FOR BY ELECT KATE4TUKWILA ********************************************* EDUCATION.
