Bobby Forch for Seattle City Council

It's clear that our city wants new leadership on the Seattle City Council. We need to remember that people have a choice where they live and work. Especially in these tough economic times, we need a vibrant city where our police are responsive, our transportation system works, our city government works efficiently and our city continues to be the economic engine of the Pacific Northwest.

I am very pleased to announce the endorsement of Seattle City Council Member Mike O’Brien.

Unprecedented Support

by forch_admin | September 21, 2011 4:30 pm

With last night’s endorsement by the 43rd District Democrats, I have achieved what no other challenger has before in a City of Seattle election – I have been endorsed by every single Democratic Legislative District in the city of Seattle.

I’m energized by the support that my campaign continues to receive.  In addition to being the highest rated candidate by the Municipal League and receiving a “100% Pro-Choice” rating by NARAL Pro-Choice Washington, my campaign is supported by a broad coalition of labor, elected officials, business, environmental, and community leaders that is rarely seen in any campaign – including Seattle City Councilman Nick Licata, King County Councilman Larry Gossett, Rep. Eric Pettigrew, Rep. Sharon Tomiko-Santos, Rep. Zack Hudgins, Port Commissioner Rob Holland, The Stranger, Seattle Building and Construction Trades Council, The Sierra Club, Cascade Bicycle Club, Laborers’ Local 440, and hundreds of others.

I continue to be humbled by all of the grassroots support that my campaign is receiving. We have hundreds of volunteers phone banking and canvassing neighborhoods, and continue to gain more support with each community meeting and event we attend each day.  My campaign has always been about representing the values and concerns of real people, and people are clearly ready to see someone walk the talk – whether its the need to build trust between police and our neighborhoods, give people more transit choices to move around, or meeting and listening with people in every part of our city.

Ballots will get mailed in a month and we still have a lot of work to do.  I’m excited to see the momentum and support continue to build, and I look forward to working hard through the rest of the election and representing you as your next City Councilman.

Sierra Club Cascade Chapter Endorses Bobby Forch for Seattle City Council

by forch_admin | September 20, 2011 4:53 pm

I’m excited to announce that the Sierra Club Cascade Chapter has endorsed my campaign, saying:

“Sierra Club supports Bobby Forch for Seattle City Council. He has pledged to make public transit, a crucial issue in Seattle, the focus of his environmental agenda if elected, and has a strong plan to advocate for dependable, sustainable transit funding and service. Mr. Forch speaks passionately about the connections between environmental issues and social justice, and understands the need to base policy decisions on considerations of both. Mr. Forch’s opponent in the race, incumbent Jean Godden, has not been a strong advocate for the environment, and the Club believes it is time for a change. Vote Bobby Forch for Seattle City Council position 1.”

I look forward to working with the Sierra Club as your next Seattle City Councilperson.
