City Councilman Stephen Whitburn Wednesday defeated lawyer and educator Coleen Cusack in the race for the Council District 3 seat representing the city's downtown and governmental core.
Both candidates were Democrats running for the officially nonpartisan position — but they presented two very different approaches to addressing homelessness in the city.Whitburn was instrumental in getting a controversial camping prohibition law passed, and has focused on getting unhoused people into shelters and off the streets, along with approving thousands of homes in his role a member of the council's Land Use and Housing Committee.
Cusack is a homeless advocate who sought to increase the housing supply to get people off the streets, and said there is misinformation about the homeless population in the city and county that serves only to stigmatize them.
