Mayoral candidate Dr. Clinton Bliss ready to leave doctor's office for city office

"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."
