1. This week was dominated by a major event- Amazon dropped an addition $1 MILLION into the corporate PAC attempting to defeat Kshama and other progressive city council candidates. This means Amazon alone has now spent a record-breaking $1.5 million this year trying to buy the Seattle City Council.  Watch our campaign video!

4. The corporate-owned Seattle Times did not endorse our campaign, and we’re ok with that.

5. Big corporations aren’t the only ones desperate to get Egan Orion elected, his campaign has also drawn an unusual amount of support from wealthy Republican donors
