Public Forum with District 2 Vacancy Finalists

1/21/20252:08:40

This public forum, hosted by Seattle CityClub at the Columbia City Theater, moderated by Rainier Avenue Radio's Tony Benton, provides an opportunity for the community to ask questions and learn more about six nominees selected by current city councilmembers for the Seattle City Council District 2 vacancy.

After looking at a pool of 20 candidates, councilmembers voted to move forward with six finalists, listed in alphabetical order by last name:
1. Hong Chhuor
2. Adonis E. Ducksworth
3. Thaddaeus J. Gregory
4. Edward C. Lin
5. Chukundi Salisbury
6. Mark A. Solomon

Each of the finalists is required to participate in the public forum and Jan. 23 special Council meeting in order to move forward in the process to fill the Council vacancy.

The vacant position was created when former Seattle City Councilmember Tammy Morales resigned from her council seat in early January. Seattle is divided into seven Council Districts, with one councilmember representing each district, and two citywide positions. The vacant slot represents District 2 which includes Beacon Hill, Chinatown-International District, Columbia City, Seward Park, Little Saigon, New Holly, Rainier Beach and Yesler Terrace.
