Click Here to see James’ Memorial Holiday Weekend Greeting
Happy Memorial Day Weekend everyone!
I hope that everyone has had a nice and enjoyable 3-day holiday weekend.
I just wanted to take a moment to say hello from the campaign trail and to give a quick update on things.
The campaign is going well, and I wanted to wait until after the holiday weekend to let you know that soon we will enter into a mad dash towards the primaries, which take place in August. The top two candidates will continue on to the general election, in November.
I know that most of you most likely don’t live in my District 7, and that’s okay. I do ask for your vote if you live in the District, but if you don’t, you can still be very helpful by making a financial contribution to my campaign. Any amount will be appreciated, and I will be extremely grateful.

I know I will do a great job as a Seattle City Council member, and look forward to working together with other council members to continue helping Seattle to be the wonderful World Class City that it is.
Please read about my campaign on my website www.jamesdonaldsonteam.com and you’ll also be able to make a financial contribution there as well.
Thanks, have a wonderful Holiday and be well!
