Inslee joins a list of other elected officials who support Stuckart, including Senator Majority Leader Any Billig, Rep. Tim Ormsby, and current city council members Candace Mumm, Lori Kinnear, Breean Beggs and Karen Stratton.

“I am honored to have endorsements from leaders of both parties and citizens from all neighborhoods in our wonderful city. I will be a mayor who will fairly represent of all my constituents and work every day to meet their vision for their city," Stuckart said.
