She stated that she did not want the election in the 1st district to repeat the2021 Seattle City Attorney electionin whichAnn Davison,aRepublican,was elected against a divided progressive field.[8][9]

Preston Anderson, a social worker and unsuccessful candidate in the 2019Pierce County Councilelection, and Maren Costa, a leader of Amazon Employees for Climate Justice thatNational Labor Relations Boardruled to be illegally fired byAmazon,announced their campaigns in January 2023.[10][11][12]Rob Saka, a lawyer forMeta Platformswho was a member of the King County Districting Committee and the committee that selected Seattle Police ChiefAdrian Z. Diaz,announced his campaign on February 14.[13][14]

Phil Tavel, anadministrative law judgewho unsuccessful ran against Herbold in 2019, announced his candidacy on February 28.[15][16]Stephen Brown, the co-owner of Eltana Bagels, announced his campaign on March 7, and stated that he considered running for office "during the height of theBlack Lives Matter,George Floyd protests,andCHOP occupancy".[17][18]Lucy Barefoot, Jean Craciun, and Mia Jacobson also ran while Michael Auger conducted a write-in campaign.[19]AnnaLisa LaFayette withdrew from the campaign.[20]

Campaign finance[edit]

All of the candidates are participating in the democracy voucher program.[6]

Brown's significant usage of billboards, which cost $1,000 per week, and mailers placed him above the $93,750 fundraising threshold for the democracy vouchers program. Brown told the Seattle Ethics and Elections Commission that the advertisements were meant for his business and not his campaign. Costa and Saka also exceeded the fundraising limit, but the SEEC lifted their limit. Elliott Bay Neighbors Committee has spent $40,000 in support of Saka.[21]
