City of Yakima, District #1

Dependiendo de dónde vivas, es posible que tengas las siguientes elecciones municipales en tu papeleta.

Dulce Gutierrez is running to represent District 1 on the Yakima City Council. A child of immigrant agricultural workers, she became one of the first Latinas ever elected in Yakima. She held her seat from 2015 to 2022, where she served as assistant mayor for two years. Gutierrez is also a long-time organizer with the Washington State Labor Council, where she works with union members and assists with immigration services.

As a council member, Gutierrez has lived up to her dedication to safe communities, affordable housing, and improved infrastructure. She voted to fund gang prevention and intervention support in public schools and helped create a community diversion program to assist people struggling with drug abuse. She voted to fund new housing for lower-income residents and homeless veterans and supported the creation of Camp Hope to provide a safe place for people living on the street. She also funded improvements to the city's transportation, pool, playgrounds, and community center, integrating solar energy into these new projects.

Gutierrez's opponents are Leo Roy, a businessman, and Veronica Castaneda, a social worker. Roy says he wants to focus on homelessness and crime while being a voice for small business owners. However, he does not name any concrete policy proposals for how he will address the housing crisis or the budget shortfall. Castaneda currently has no public information as of June 9.

Gutierrez has been a powerful voice for the immigrant community and working people. She has earned your vote to represent Yakima City Council from District 1.
