Erika Evans, a seasoned federal prosecutor and former Assistant Seattle City Attorney, has entered the race for Seattle City Attorney, setting up a high-profile challenge to Republican incumbent Ann Davison. Evans, who began her career in the very office she now seeks to lead, framed the election as a pivotal moment for the city’s legal leadership, emphasizing her commitment to public safety, civil rights, and restoring trust in the City Attorney’s Office.
“Seattle needs and deserves an experienced City Attorney committed to public safety, dedicated to serving all communities, and who will not hesitate to fight back to defend our rights and freedoms,” Evans said in her campaign announcement.
