2017

Hasegawa's campaign website listed the following themes for 2017:

“

Income Inequality and Corporate Accountability
Responsible business owners understand and accept that they have an obligation to engage in business practices that support the health and welfare of the local community and environment. It is unacceptable that Seattle is home to some of the wealthiest businesses and individuals in the US, yet we still suffer from vast amounts of income inequality. We must hold corporations accountable to ensure progress for our city and its residents. We will will take care of our most vulnerable by ensuring that their economic needs are met.

Affordable Housing and Homelessness
Seattle faces a homelessness and housing crisis. These issues are inextricably connected, and both are born from and exacerbated by income inequality. There is no silver bullet when it comes to the solving the most pressing issue our city faces, therefore, we must address the many sides of the issue simultaneously if we expect to improve outcomes for all our families.

Transit
Seattle needs a robust public transit system to meet the growing demands of our city’s booming population growth. Voters have made the choice to invest $54 billion dollars in expanding transit services. As Mayor, I look forward to ensuring equitable implementation that truly serves the most transit-dependent in our city.

Small Business Development
Small businesses are the backbone of Seattle’s economy. From restaurants and cafes to barber shops and grocery stores to light manufacturing and construction, it should be easier to do business with our neighbors, and bid on public contracts. My administration will focus on ensuring the success of the small businesses–not just the corporations–that call Seattle home.

Equity
While the federal level threatens to undermine the progress Seattle has made in the last century, we will continue to be a beacon of hope. Together, we will fight to ensure the city leads the nation by example through inclusive policy that protects the most vulnerable among us and preserves the opportunity of the American Dream.[42][43]

Scorecards

See also:State legislative scorecards andState legislative scorecards in Washington

Ascorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.

The Freedom Foundation releases itsBig Spender List annually. The Institute ranks all Washington legislators based on their total proposed taxes and fees. To find each legislator’s total, the Institute adds up the 10-year tax and fee increases or decreases, as estimated by Washington’s Office of Financial Management, of all bills sponsored or co-sponsored by that legislator.[47]

2012

Hasegawa proposed a 10-year increase in state taxes and fees of $3.29 billion, the 28th highest amount of proposed new taxes and fees of the 93Washington state representatives on the Freedom Foundation’s 2012 Big Spender List.

TheFreedom Foundation also issued its2012 Informed Voter Guide for Washington State voters, including a legislative score card documenting how Washington State legislators voted upon bills the Foundation deemed important legislation. The legislation analyzed covered budget, taxation, and pension issues.[48] AApproveda sign indicates a bill more in line with the Foundation's stated goals, and aDefeatedd sign indicates a bill out of step with the Foundation's values. Here's how Hasegawa voted on the specific pieces of legislation:

2012 House Scorecard - Bob Hasegawa
Bill #6636 (Balanced budget requirement)Approveda

Bill #5967 (House Democrats budget)Defeatedd

Bill #6582 (Local transportation tax increases)Defeatedd
