People are Talking

Pete’s supporters come from all parts of the city and from many walks of life. They believe in open government, want safe neighborhoods, and demand honesty and accountability from our elected leaders and government officials. They know they can count on Pete.

 

“It is time for us to have a City Attorney that is looking out for the people of this great city, who will hold people to account, and who will stop the attacks on the Seattle nightlife. Pete Holmes is just the person to get this job done, and I am proud to stand with him, and look forward to seeing him as our next City Attorney!”

 

Michael Maddux, Vice Chairman of the 43 Legislative District Democrats

 

“I endorsed Pete because of his character and reputation.  I know him to be an incredibly bright, level-headed, honest and fair person.  He has shown himself to be these things whether in a civic or business context or among family and friends.  I know that Seattle’s citizenry will be able to count on his analytical and decision making skills to lead us out of the expensive, counterproductive and litigious quandary that we find ourselves in today.”

 

Kate Martin, Landscape architect, community activist

 

 

“In the five years of working with Pete Holmes on police issues I have found him to be among a select group of the brightest, most value-driven professionals. Quite simply Pete does the “right thing” at the right time. His commitment to accountability and transparency is matched only by his expert understanding of the law and our criminal justice system. Seattle would be most fortunate to have Pete Holmes as its next City Attorney.
