Campaign themes
2015
Bradburd's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[2] Transportation
- Excerpt: "Effective multi-modal transportation options are key to reducing traffic congestion. I will work to make Seattle safer for both pedestrians and bicyclists. I will also advocate for policies requiring better coordination between City agencies, to make sure public transit, bicyclists, pedestrians, cars and freight can safely and efficiently share our transportation network – and when they need to be separated from each other, they should be."
Housing
- Excerpt: "We need inclusionary zoning and incentives that ensure that, as we grow and produce market-rate housing, we also produce housing that serves all segments of the population. I will work to ensure that the City takes a far more active role in directly providing affordable housing stock. We need to use different ownership strategies (co-ops, land lease, and land trusts) and innovative funding strategies (like public bonding and linkage fees). Seattle must reduce displacement, and keep working people in long-term housing."
Homelessness
- Excerpt: "We must reverse the increasing number of homeless by supporting the production of "housing first" solutions and providing the critical social and support services that some of this population requires. I advocate for single-resident occupancy (SRO) housing instead of subsidizing expensive apartments using our limited housing levy funds.
Public banking
- Excerpt: "I support the creation of a Seattle Public Bank, and to increase public sector investments in areas such as affordable housing, infrastructure, and targeted economic development."
