Faces of the movement

“The things that the city council does are across the political spectrum, because they're things that everybody wants. They want quality of life. They want good infrastructure. They want entrepreneurship and businesses to spark the economy. Those are the things we should be working on as a city council, not talking about things that are going to take us down rabbit holes and that we can't fix down here.”

“Where you live in your local community, that's where your local elected officials really impact your life. That's where the importance really is.”

West Seegmiller

“I want to be the candidate that I would want to see, someone who's non-partisan, not an ideologue, just somebody who wants to solve problems and be positive, inspirational, and aspirational.”

Tom Simes

“For me, it feels like we're entering into a new paradigm, and we need people that do not answer to political parties or special interest groups. That would be me. That's who I am. I can't be bought.”

Patsy Nyberg

“I'm focusing on very non-partisan issues: food, plastic, waste, cost of living, affordable housing. Everyone understands these issues, and the way I approach them, I aim to be as solution-oriented as possible, where there's no partisanship involved in it. That's really how I'm different.”

Katrina Nguyen

“Even within politics, we can still make deals, we can still compromise, and we can still get things done. That's what I think America has started to lack, and that's what I want to bring into politics”
