I disagree with your choice. Rather than picking someone based on their abilities alone, I believe you need to consider the make-up of the entire council. Sara Nelson would bring a much-missing perspective of the business community to the Council. And she is no conservative. Goodness. She has real-world experience and running a business in Seattle requires not just good fiscal skills, but an environmental and human sensitive world view. I'm sure Jon is a fine guy. But I believe that Sara is who the Council and Seattle need now.
