No, Joe: Seattle City Council, Position 1

Freakshow 2007®

Joe Szwaja seemed like a good choice: liberal, teacher, environmentalist, surface+transit, living wages, unions, congestion pricing. The clincher were his strong answers to my community group's questionnaire on pedestrian and bicycle safety.

So yeah, on my absentee ballot I blacked-in the bubble next to his name.

Now I want my absentee ballot back, because Szwaja has gone negative in last-minute radio ads against incumbent Jean Godden.

It's basically a smear campaign, stating as fact ethics charges against Godden, when those charges have been dismissed by the Ethics and Elections Commission. Sure, it's under appeal—to keep it alive until Election Day. And who filed the complaint with the commission in the first place? A Szwaja volunteer.

Totally. Freaking. Despicable. VOTE EARLY AND GODDEN.
