From Linh Thai:

Mike McGinn, Seattle’s mayor-elect wants to hear from folks in our city as he prepares to take office in January 2010. Mike ran a campaign that was a little different and he plans to run his transition into office and to serve as mayor in a way that is a little different than has been done before.

Mike has asked me and others throughout the city to reach out to our communities and to ask the following questions:

  1. How can Mike build the strongest possible team to achieve the policy objectives and values set forth during the campaign?
  2. How can we build public trust and confidence in the new administration?
  3. What do you view as the new administration biggest challenge – and what should we do first out of the gate?

You may be asked by more than one person. If you have not already considered these questions, could you please respond below. We will be collecting all of the responses and will be sharing them with Mike on November 23rd.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts.

UPDATE: Join Linh and other community members on Fri., Nov. 20, at 6 pm at Holly Park Community Church (4308 S. Othello St) to share your views, voices, and visions for South Seattle.

The latest vote count showed McGinn 4,939 votes ahead of Mallahan. He more than doubled his lead from Friday, when he led by more than 2,384 votes.

At one point last week, 462 votes separated the two candidates and a recount seemed likely.

As Mallahan read his statement to the media at his Eastlake campaign office, McGinn spoke to a packed room at his headquarters in Southeast Seattle. Supporters cheered “We like Mike!” as McGinn entered to make a statement. More.
