The following organizations have already endorsed Mike O’Brien for Seattle City Council:
Sierra Club
“Sierra Club endorses Mike O’Brien for City Council, Seat #8 because of his environmental leadership in Seattle and his cohesive vision for our city. . . . O’Brien’s ability to build organizations and his environmental knowledge has helped make our city an example for the rest of the nation.”
Washington Conservation Voters
“O’Brien has been a strong advocate for environmental policy in and around Seattle. O’Brien’s environmental priorities include finding ways to increase density that supports self-sufficient, pedestrian-friendly communities, improving local public transit, exploring the creation of a city program that both promotes the economic and environmental benefits of retrofitting homes to make them more energy efficient, and invest in natural drainage systems that will reduce stormwater runoff pollution.”
Cascade Bicycle Club
“Mike O’Brien has been an ally as leader of the Sierra Club, Cascade chapter, as well as a bicyclist who knows how to make a difference. He’s stood by Cascade on tough fights that did not appear to be politically possible. His business savvy, too, is a great asset. As the CFO of a law firm, he managed to cut costs by promoting healthy transportation choices.”
Friends of Seattle
“Mike O’Brien for Position 8 is perhaps our most important endorsement in this election. Mr. O’Brien will be a visionary leader on City Council—someone who is politically courageous and well-equipped to deal with the practicalities of budgeting and policymaking… We appreciate O’Brien’s upbeat style and ability to work with others, accompanied by his realistic approach anchored by a background in business… In short, Mike O’Brien’s intelligence and vision make him the best candidate for Position 8, and for Seattle.”
