Disability Victory Weighs in on Disability Representation in Seattle’s The Stranger

This week, we weighed in on the challenges that disabled candidates like Seattle City Council candidate ChrisTiana ObeySumner face on the campaign trail in Seattle's The Stranger, and we discussed what disabled elected officials bring to the table.

"Disabled people are adaptable. We’re creative. We’re problem-solvers. And we’re resilient because everyday we navigate a society that is not built for our needs. If those aren’t leadership qualities, I don’t know what is.” - Sarah Blahovec, Co-Founder and President, Disability Victory

We're excited to continue following ChrisTiana's campaign, and we really appreciate their insight on how they have made campaigning accessible to them.
