At David Bloom's Party
Aaron Pickus here.
Noah Burgher, City Council Position 4 candidate David Bloom's campaign manager, just informed the campaign that Bloom is currently a distant second with 18.17% of the vote to Sally Bagshaw's 50.06%.
"That's the worst thing I have ever seen in my life," Noah says.
David Bloom is wearing khakis and a blue dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up. "I'm nervous," he says. He's surrounded by a representative sample of Seattle's old-school left, including fellow Displacement Coalition founder John Fox, SHARE homeless activist Scott Morrow, fellow Church Council alum Alice Woldt, and many others, most with gray hair.
I asked him how he thought the campaign went. "It's the hardest thing I've ever done and there are all kinds of activities, like fundraising, that you have to do if you want to do well. [It's] lot of studying and it's emotionally a lot of work."
Bloom says it's interesting how much the waterfront tunnel began to dominate the political debate in the final weeks of the campaign. After the primary, he says, he'll start talking about his ideas to "retro-fit or rebuild the viaduct." This puts him out-of-step with pretty much every other candidate in today's primary. Bloom predicts that Olympia will have to face a "cold-hearted reality about costs" this January.
So far, the numbers in Positino 4 show Dorsol Plants in third place with 12.21%, Thomas Tobin in fourth with 10.17% and Brian Carver with 8.95% of the vote. These numbers are with 17.3% of the vote counted.
