Episode 54: Keith Blocker, candidate for Tacoma City Council

Welcome to the first candidate interview of the 2019 election season! We talked with Councilman Keith Blocker, who’s running for his second term representing District 3 in Tacoma, which includes the Hilltop, Central Tacoma and parts of South Tacoma.

Keith grew up in Philadelphia but has lived in Tacoma since he was 25. We talked about the biggest issues facing his district and the city, a few of which we expect to come up a lot this cycle: namely, homelessness and affordable housing.

Keith has one challenger for his seat: political newcomer David Combs. His interview will be posted next. Stay tuned!
