The August primary for the election of Seattle mayor is fast approaching, and one candidate, a medical doctor with zero prior political experience, believes he's just what the city needs.

"I think that it actually is partially my medical background that brought me into this," Dr. Clinton Bliss said on "Seattle's Morning News." "I think that a lot of the rhetoric I hear about dealing with our homeless population really is dealing with addiction and mental health, and that's something that I have extensive experience in managing."
