Candidate Scorecard

Each election cycle, rather than endorsing candidates for office, a panel of DSA members score and rate them based on how closely their responses to our questionnaire align with our mission and priorities for downtown. We also consider their experience and qualifications.

Candidates were selected to receive the questionnaire based on campaign fundraising, endorsements and viability.

The four major races in the 2026 Washington state election we’re tracking that will impact downtown Seattle are: King County Assessor, Metropolitan King County Council Districts 2 and 8, and Seattle City Council District 5.
