We did it!! With over half of the ballots in, it looks like I’m advancing to the general election! Thank you to everyone who has supported my campaign along the way and a very special thank you to my parents, without whom I would not be where I am today. So much to do and a spirited general election ahead but I’m grateful for everyone’s support, donations, votes, and well wishes. Thank you District 3! ...

There are many perks to knocking on doors and chatting with community members... befriending our furry neighbors is a huge one! ...

What a beautiful day to speak with voters! Thank you to all our dedicated volunteers who came out and knocked doors with me this morning. We had some productive conversations about housing and education policy. Email info@eganforseattle.org if you’d like to help get out the vote with us next time! ...

The past month has been a wonderful time celebrating pride alongside our vibrant LGBTQ+ community in Seattle. It is a true joy to live in a place where love is celebrated, and the pride parade has always been a demonstration of that. Huge thank you to Chris Peguero for inviting me to walk in his contingency alongside the other queer City council candidates in this year’s parade! I am so grateful for all of you who walked with me yesterday to support and spread awareness of my city council campaign for District 3, a campaign that prioritizes love and encourages others to do the same. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈 ...

Waiting to march in the Pride Parade! ...

Happy Pride everyone!🏳️‍🌈Come find us on the corner of Harrison and Broadway— we’ll be here all day. ...

#TBT to protesting in front of the Supreme Court to advocate for same sex marriage. One way I’ve demonstrated my #pride and pursuit for LGBTQ+ rights is by volunteering with and fundraising for the campaign to pass Washington Referendum 74 for marriage equality. I will always remember the incredible day when love got legalized, but the fight is far from over! As city council member for District 3, I will continue to fight for the expansion of rights and representation for everyone in our vibrant, unique community. ...

In celebration of PrideFest coming up this weekend (woohoo!): . Meet Shegan, my first drag alter-ego, first introduced to Seattle over Memorial Day Weekend at one of PrideFest’s iconic events, the Red Dress Party — an annual fundraiser that raises tens of thousands each year for HIV/AIDS charities. I’d never done drag before, but in my 15 year history as an LGBTQ community leader, I’ve shown that I’ll go to great lengths to advocate for my community. In 2007, I made sure we didn’t have a parade to nowhere by resurrecting the festival and growing it into one of the largest and most beautiful Pride events in the nation. . I raised nearly $15000 for Referendum 74 to extend marriage rights in Washington State to same sex couples. . I’ve raised tens of thousands of dollars to support queer and trans non profits, including support from day one for Trans Pride Seattle. . In the early 90s, I showed up on Capitol Hill to find my people. Now I’m part of the welcoming committee and while it’s safer than it’s been, a sharp spike in hate crimes has shown us the work is far from done. . On council, I will continue to fight for queer and trans people. . So Happy #pride to one and all. Let’s watch out for each other. This beautiful, diverse extended family has given me so much and I vow to continue to fight for each and every one of you. ...

Thank you to everyone who came out to our Campaign Kickoff yesterday! Grateful for the opportunity to share my vision for innovation, accountability, and pragmatic solutions for the very real challenges our city faces. I’m running because I’m frustrated with our current Seattle City Council’s inaction. I believe in one of the most innovative places on Earth, we need to do better to support our unsheltered neighbors and to lead on housing and transportation/climate change policy. We’ve got a lot of work to do. So join me and let’s get started! ...
