I was born and raised in Ballard and my parents, both social workers, raised me with a sense of community. Our neighbors were school teachers, welders, plumbers, electricians, and fishermen. As our city changes, we need to work together to build a Seattle which integrates inclusiveness and progressive values into the sense of community that makes our district special.
I have nearly a decade of legislative experience and I know how to get things done. I’ve worked as a legislative aide and policy advisor at the City of Seattle, the Washington State Legislature, the Oregon State Legislature, and the Alliance for Gun Responsibility. I have coordinated with the state, county, city, and local groups to fund transportation projects, develop green building codes, and improve our parks. I know how to move power back to everyday people and how to make elected officials sit up and listen to their constituents. It’s that knowledge and community commitment that I intend to bring to City Hall as your Councilmember.
I will fight to make sure Seattle grows into a healthy city that works for everyone. I will work with you to build a Seattle we can be proud of by connecting our bus and bike lanes, supporting our small businesses, expanding affordable childcare programs, and ensuring that all Seattlites have a safe, affordable place to call home.
I want to hear from you, to build a platform that works for all of us. Please reach out and let me know what a healthy Seattle will look like for you. I look forward to serving you in City Hall!

Seattle for Dan Strauss
1 years ago
It's official - I will be your next City Councilmember for District 6!
I am honored to have the opportunity to represent our community. The people of Ballard, Phinney Ridge, Green Lake, Greenwood, and Fremont make these communities unique and have shaped me into the person I am today.
Our campaign has been about creating a sustainable, equitable, and affordable city that works for everyone, whether you’ve been here one year or forty. This will be my priority as a Councilmember; creating bold solutions at the scale of the problems we are seeking to address.
Thank you to Heidi Wills for your public service and dedication to the community, and to the other candidates for stepping up to run for office. I look forward to working with you in the community to build our future together.
I am excited to hit the ground running on day one to serve the people of District 6. ... See MoreSee Less

Hey Dan Strauss, can you comment on the broken window at Target last night? How will you make Ballard a viable place for businesses? Large and small. When can we start seeing police presence in the neighborhood every day 365 days a year? I’d like to hear your response.
Congratulations! I'm sorry I don't live there anymore to see all the great work I know you'll do. Ballard and Fremont just got luckier than they know!
