PubliCola has been calling Joe Mallahan's campaign since Friday morning about his impressive pledge on KCTS Thursday night to prioritize giving everyone who wanted one, a living wage job.

We want to know if he has a plan for that policy priority. Does he, for example, support passing a Living Wage Ordinance, something that 140  cities, including Boston, Baltimore San Francisico, L.A., and Minneapolis have passed. His spokeswoman, Charla Neuman, said he would get back to us late Friday. He did not.

We called back yesterday. No response.

And we contacted the Mallahan camp again today. Here's the email we sent to his campaign adviser, Tina Podlodowski, this morning:

I still haven't heard back from Joe/Charla re: Living Wage ordinance.

Again: During the KCTS debate on Thurs. night, I scored Joe w the best answer of the night re: living wage jobs.

I've tried to follow up several x now to see if he supports a living wage ordinance.

Can someone please get back to me?

Thank you,

Josh

FWIW: I contacted McGinn on Friday too, to see if he supports a living wage ordinance. McGinn called right back to say he supports the concept of living wage ordinances around the country and that as mayor he would take the lead on exploring living wage ordinances for Seattle .
