There have been numerous mayoral and city council candidate forums, debates and town meetings over the past few weeks in preparation for the upcoming election. And for those who can’t make it to these events SCAN, the Seattle Community Access Network, has put together and aired several interviews with city council and mayoral candidates that cover hot topics like the Viaduct replacement, education and the city’s budget, as well as neighborhood issues.
“All the major candidates were invited,” said SCAN’s Director of Development & Marketing Jamie Flaxman, who noted that not all were able to participate. According to Flaxman, SCAN is currently working with mayoral candidate Joe Mallahan’s campaign manager to find a time to interview him. “We are still trying to get Mr. Mallahan interviewed, but we haven’t yet gotten that scheduled,” she said.
At 10 p.m. tonight SCAN will air an interview with David Bloom, city council candidate for position 4, on channel 77. They will show an interview with Sally Bagshaw, also a candidate for position 4, at 10 p.m. on Thursday, October 29. SCAN has already aired interviews with city council candidates Jessie Israel (position 6), Mike O’Brien (position 8), Robert Rosencrantz (position 8), and mayoral candidate Mike McGinn. You can view all of these interviews on-demand on their website 24 hours after their original air time.
