## Resource

Come November, Seattleites living in District 5 will vote on a new city council member who will fill the seat vacated by Cathy Moore last year and temporarily filled by Debora Juarez. In the August primary, candidates Nilu Jenks and Julie Kang advanced to the general with 54% and 33% of the vote, respectively. On today’s episode, both candidates join us on the show to talk through the top issues facing their district and the city council. And finally, the City Cast Seattle team, Host, Jane C. Hu, Executive Producer, Ashley Smith, and Creative Producer, Liam Billingham get together to dissect the conversation between the two candidates.  Learn more about the sponsors of this episode: Seattle Restored Northwest Film Forum Clipper Vacations Habitat for Humanity Want to get in touch?
