Seattle City Council District 7: Andrew Lewis and Bob Kettle

Описание: Seattle City Council incumbent Andrew Lewis (District 7) faced challenger and Navy veteran Bob Kettle in a blisteringly fast-paced candidate event at KUOW, which zeroed in on public safety.

Kettle went on the offense, albeit politely, about violent crime, which has been increasing statewide in recent years. Kettle blamed Seattle's crime problems on the current City Council’s policies.

“It really comes about from this permissive environment that's been created, and plays out with the random acts of violence and the lawlessness that you see,” Kettle said.

Lewis countered, in part, by defending his record.
