Andrew Grant Houston, a candidate for Seattle Mayor and former City Council staffer, has managed to get more people to give him money through Seattle’s Democracy Voucher Program than actually vote for him, in the process raising red flags. Since the start of the campaign, Houston was unlikely to advance to the general election. Though many candidates run with no chance of winning, few do so while bringing in hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxpayer funds.
In 2015, Seattle voters approved a property tax of $3 million to fund the Democracy Voucher Program for 10 years. The Democracy Voucher Program gives each Seattle voter $100 in $25 vouchers to give out to ‘donate’ to the campaign of their choice.
Houston’s campaign gathered more vouchers by far than any other campaign, almost 14,000 vouchers worth $346,325. Yet he only managed to finish in sixth place with 4,535, 2.62 percent of the total vote based on the latest totals. He had more than 5,000 donors but is unlikely to pull in as many votes as donors.
Houston’s campaign doesn’t seem to have spent much of that money on trying to get elected. Receipts for the campaign so far show a lot of meals and purchases for non- campaign related items like headphones.
Over $100,000 of the money went to Prism Washington , AKA, Prism West, a consulting firm with a history of representing and promoting activist socialist candidates such as socialist Seattle City Council Member Tammy Morales , who advocated for riots during last summer’s unrest. Houston’s campaign focused on door-to-door canvassing to harvest the vouchers and employed an unusually large number of staffers, especially given the large amount of spending on consultants. The staffers were also unionized.
Houston campaign’s spending disclosures show only roughly $70,000 spent on online advertising, mailers, and other traditional voter outreach. No money was spent on TV or other media.
Former Seattle City Council President Bruce Harrell and Current Council President Lorena Gonzalez, who earned the top two spots to advance to the November general election did not pay anything close to that for their consultants. To put things in perspective, […]

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
