Dwight Pelz is politician who will roll up his sleeves to get the job done. He chaired the Howard Dean field committee in the last Presidential election,has worked as a community organizer for a variety of grassroots groups on a variety of social issues, worked on progressive statewide initiatives in 1975 for tax reform, and in 1976 to control nuclear wastes in Washington. In 1977, Dwight organized the statewide initiative campaign which repealed the sales tax on food. This was the most regressive tax in Washington, one that hit the poor and working poor the hardest.
Pelz was elected to the State Senate in 1990. He was chosen to chair the Senate Education Committee, where he wrote the Education Reform Act, and passed legislation to increase funding for our public schools
In 1996, Dwight was appointed to the King County Council and re-elected for a second term in 2001, where he has become a recognized leader in the areas of transit and transportation, growth management, the environment, human services and strengthening neighborhoods.
• Dwight has worked to increase bus service within Seattle neighborhoods.
• has fought tirelessly for light rail and mass transit throughout the county.
• has consistently advocated to balance investments in highway with equal investments in mass transit.
• He directed the creation of Sound Transit's $50 million Community Development Fund, and spearheaded the effort to
place underground utilities along the light rail line in the Rainier Valley.
• He assumed a lead role in salmon restoration efforts in King County
• He secured funding for the preservation and restoration of Hamm Creek, and to recover the wetlands within the Black
River Riparian Forest.
• He funded a variety of smaller parks and open space acquisitions throughout King County
• He championed the fight for the East Lake Sammamish Trail
• He worked annually to restore funding for a wide array of senior services that were omitted in the initial budget
proposals.
• He created the Rainier Valley Youth Service Project to keep young offenders out of the Juvenile Justice System.
We need Dwight on the City Council. He is a hard working, effective, smart progressive who will work hard for the music community and for progressive ideals in Seattle. Come meet him in person and give him some money so he can continue to get his message out.
