There are two good candidates in this race for Tacoma City Council District 3: Justin Leighton and Keith Blocker.

Keith Blocker is a middle school program director for local non-profit Peace Community Center who provides students academic coaching and college preparation. Blocker is running to ensure all of Tacoma's residents have a voice on the council, and wants to attract small businesses and improve local roads. If you want a collaborator who represents the diversity of the Hilltop neighborhood, Keith is a good choice.

Other candidates in this race include Tom McCarthy, who has received some labor support, and Whitney Brady, a progressive advocate who is not running an effective campaign. Also running are Robert Hill, a political activist who has a criminal past, Kris Blondin, who advocated against paid sick and safe leave, and conservative Valentine Smith. Close Window
