Sally Clark ✓
Seattle City Council Member, Position 9
Score 6/10
Best answer 5. Skittles. That just took me to the whole naked thing [Lynch’s appearance, in the buff, in ESPN the Magazine’s Body Issue]. I think he actually looks pretty good. He looks better than I thought he was going to look.

Frank Chopp ✓
Washington State Representative, 43rd District
Score 8/10

Suzan DelBene ✓
Washington State Representative, First District
Score 7/10

Ed Murray ✓
Seattle Mayor
Score 3/10
Best answer 4. There’s Safeco Field, then…What’s the name of the phone company I pay every month for the land line I never use? CenturyLink!

Bruce Harrell ✓
Seattle City Council Member, Position 3
Score 9/10
Best answer 10. There’s 11 on the field, so the fans are the voice, that part of the team. It’s interesting that they say 12th Man and not 12th Person. I could never get away with that as an elected official.

Jean Godden ✓
Seattle City Council Member, Position 1
Score 6/10
Best answer 5. Skittles. As a matter of fact, we celebrated with them at city hall, but I like M&Ms better. And Dove. Ohhh, Dove. There’s a lot of good chocolate out there.

C. R. Douglas ✓
Political Analyst, Q13 Fox
Score 8/10
Best answer I got eight out of 10? Aaron Levine [Q13’s sports director] is going to be so proud of me!
