Man arrested for arson during CHOP enters race for Seattle city council seat

“I was the last person to see Manny Ellis leave the house before he walked into the store that night. I was not involved in any protests at all until June, when I saw Manny Ellis’s untimely death on the news,” Willoughby said.

“Why would we want to give someone power by putting them on the council if they’re an arsonist?” Jason Rantz asked Willoughby on his show.

Willoughby claimed the loss of Manny Ellis — the 33-year-old Black man who died while being restrained by Tacoma police on March 3, 2020 — set off his actions at CHOP. District 2 is currently represented by Tammy Morales, who announced last month that she will be running again. However, she would be only one of a few incumbents reelected if she won, as a mass exodus from the city council is underway, with Lisa Herbold , Kshama Sawant , Alex Pederson , Debora Juarez , and Teresa Mosqueda all announcing they are not seeking another term.

“I am running for my local municipality,” Willoughby said. “Where I’m from represents my experience in my own district as I was raised in that community.”
