Daniel Aaron Strauss (born April 12, 1986) is an American politician who serves on the Seattle City Council from District 6. A native of Seattle's Ballard neighborhood, he previously worked as an aide to local politicians, including Seattle councilmember Sally Bagshaw.

Early life and career

Strauss was born in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle to a Jewish family of social workers and graduated from Nathan Hale High School.[1][2] After high school, he joined the National Civilian Community Corps.[3] Strauss graduated with a degree in political science from Whittier College, where he was elected student body president.[4] He then attended the University of Oregon, where he also worked as a policy intern for Oregon state representative Nancy Nathanson, graduating in 2012 with a Master of Public Administration.[5][6]

After graduating from college, Strauss returned to Seattle and worked as an aide to several local politicians. He was part of the campaign team for Snohomish County councilman Dave Somers during his 2013 reelection. He then worked as a legislative assistant for State Senator David Frockt before working for the Alliance for Gun Responsibility.[7][5] From 2017 to 2019, he served as a legislative assistant to Seattle councilmember Sally Bagshaw.[5]

Seattle City Council

2019 election

Strauss announced his candidacy for the District 6 seat in February 2019, shortly before incumbent councilmember Mike O'Brien announced that he would not seek re-election.[8] He finished first out of 13 candidates in the primary election, with 34 percent of the vote, and advanced to the general election alongside former city councilmember Heidi Wills.[2] Strauss ran as a progressive in the race and was endorsed by the King County Labor Council and The Stranger.[2][3] The election gained national attention after Amazon spent nearly $1.5 million on campaign contributions to Seattle Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce Political Action Committee, which spent more than $400,000 supporting Willis.[9][10]

Strauss won with 55.65% of the vote and was sworn in on December 22, 2019, at a Ballard Centennial Bell Tower ceremony.[11][12]

2023 election

In February 2023, Strauss announced he would seek a second term in office.[13] In the August primary, he face five challengers and came in first with 51.76% of the vote and Pete Hanning, executive director for the Fremont Chamber of Commerce, came in second with 29.34%.[14][15] In the general election, Strauss and Hanning disagreed on most issues, with Hanning running as more of a moderate compared to Strauss.[7] Hanning criticized Strauss' for his support of defunding the Seattle Police Department budget by 50%, and for "flip-flopping" to then supporting SPD.[16] Strauss distanced himself from defund rhetoric, and called his support "a mistake."[16][17]

In the general election, Strauss defeated Hanning, 52.31% to 47.19%.[18]

Tenure

Strauss is the chair of the Land Use and Neighborhoods Committee.[19]
