Silent Seattle City Council candidate raises eyebrows
Tammy Morales, an incumbent candidate for the Seattle City Council, has declined multiple opportunities to discuss her candidacy and policy issues in her district. While other candidates eagerly participated in interviews, Morales did not respond to multiple emails and phone calls. Critics have pointed out her limited availability and lack of engagement with important issues in her district, such as crime and homelessness. Morales has been known for using press releases and social media to address topics like policing, but has avoided in-person discussions. Her opponent, Tanya Woo, has received more support from district donors and Morales' campaign is operating at a deficit. Despite her limited engagement, Morales won the primary by a significant margin and has participated in smaller debates and short interviews with new reporters.
