Candidate Survivor: Seattle’s local election tradition

At this point, it’s a Seattle institution. Local candidates (up to state level) compete in a multi-round game show that includes a talent competition, hosted by local drag Queen icons.

It’s probably the most fun way to hear about a candidate’s platform and see how they connect with the culture of the city. Each year it’s hosted by The Washington Bus — the largest youth-led, base-building organization dedicated to building and harnessing political power and leadership among young Washingtonians, especially those who have been historically disenfranchised.

Proceeds of the event go to The Washington Bus Education Fund.✨📚
