GENERAL 2025
City of Tukwila
Council Position No. 5
As a father, small business owner and immigrant, I’m running to bring a fresh, new voice to the City Council. I’m focused on what matters most to our residents: public safety, housing affordability, and protecting our local businesses and immigrant communities.
I’m proudly supported by leaders who know Tukwila best: Mayor Thomas McLeod, Councilmember De’Sean Quinn, and former Councilmember Joe Duffie—because they trust me to stop the divisive politics and deliver results. Endorsed by labor organizations like the Plumbers and Pipefitters Local 32, I’ll create living wage jobs and stand up for working families.
As I meet voters throughout our city, I hear the same concerns: high property taxes and safety. You deserve real solutions, not more of the same. I’m dedicated to ensuring a balanced city budget, while supporting our small businesses. I’ll fight for a Tukwila that works for all of us. Let’s build a stronger Tukwila together.
Thank you for the honor of serving you on Tukwila City Council for 12 years and on Tukwila School Board. With your vote, I pledge to continue to serve you with integrity, hard work, and common sense.
Priorities: Put people first; Affordable housing and safe neighborhoods; Improved transportation options in our city; Reliable public safety services; and Responsible city budgets prioritized to best serve you.
I believe in an open, accountable government that respects every taxpayer, provides high-value, and stretches your tax dollar. I build community through active involvement with neighborhood groups, seniors, students, veterans, and businesses. I advocate for working people and amplify voices to reach a shared vision. I make informed decisions based on community feedback and I am devoted to representing what the people who live in Tukwila want, and what makes sense for us. Please vote to elect Kate Kruller for Tukwila City Council, Position 5
