Ordinary people with extraordinary vision can redeem the soul of America by getting in what I call good trouble, necessary trouble. --

Statement
I am Norman Sigler and I am running for the Port of Seattle Commission, position #1 and am grateful to the 19,000 King County voters that supported my 2015 campaign for Port. I am the owner of CLEAR-Consulting.Biz, an executive search firm focusing on diversity. CLEAR has worked with the leadership teams of several Seattle area social profits including Seattle Art Museum, Seattle Opera, Tacoma Arts Live, Girls Scouts of Western Washington and Mary's Place. In addition to the organizational leadership experience, I also bring experience in the aviation industry having moved to Seattle in 2003 to be the Manager of Finance and Contracts at Alaska Airlines and having worked at Northwest Airlines (now Delta) and Continental Airlines (now United) after receiving my MBA in Finance and Accounting from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. I will be the only Commissioner with airline experience.
My focus as a Commissioner will be:
Environmental & Economic Justice – I will work with communities around the Port to ensure there is no harm done by Port actions and actually that the Port contributes to an enhanced quality of life for its neighbors. I support putting the proposed new parking garage on the site of the current employee parking lot. This will save trees and wildlife habitat currently on the site for the proposed parking structure. I also intend to direct a portion of Port profits as investment into economic and quality of life improvements of neighboring Port communities. I want every King County property owner to be treated like owners of the Port and share in Port prosperity.
Climate Action Now & A New Green Economy – We need to have our Port at carbon neutral by 2030 and not 2050. We have some of the smartest people on the planet living as colleagues, friends, and neighbors who can come together to innovate our way to CLEAN ENERGY solutions to Climate Change and in the process create a new green economy.
Ending Systemic Racism – We as a society had a reckoning when witnessing George Floyd’s murder at the knee of law enforcement. This is the time to end systemic racism within our institution. I will help the Port with this process.
And lastly, Honesty: I intend to be a model for other politicians as I will not lie to you about what is going on at the Port. I am disgusted by elected officials who knowingly lie to us for political gain or out of political cowardice.
I humbly ask again for your vote and support for our race for Port of Seattle Commission, position #1.
With Gratitude,
Norman Sigler
