AMR is running Rinck launches re-election campaign just months after winning the seat
Seattle Councilmember Alexis Mercedes Rinck has launched her re-election campaign just two months after being sworn into her citywide seat. Rinck, a progressive leader focused on housing affordability and community safety, faces challenges including scrutiny over her political leanings and a recent scandal involving her relationship with an editor at The Stranger. With no challengers yet for the Position 8 seat, Rinck's campaign emphasizes her commitment to fully funding city services and protecting community rights.
