Reading the criticism of Katie Wilson is making me a bigger and bigger fan of Katie Wilson.

I somehow missed this 🤣 what an asinine, fatuous headline.
Katie Wilson, Seattle’s next mayor, emerged from the city’s left-wing activist class and brings with her little experience in governing.

Katie Wilson, who narrowly defeated the incumbent, Bruce Harrell, emerged from the city’s left-wing activist class and brings with her little experience in governing.

Seattle specific post: someone recently told me yellow cab is consistently less expensive than rideshare apps in Seattle so I decided to try it. They have an app that’s pretty convenient. Pre-booking a ride to the airport was about 40% cheaper. Spreading the word!

Seeing how angry everyone is—from the Times to the seething comment sections on fb—just makes me more excited to see any Katie Wilson does as mayor.
You probably won't be surprised to learn that the Times editorial board never came close to suggesting Mike McGinn, like mayor-elect Katie Wilson a transit-oriented lefty, was a foolish little nitwit who doesn't even know who runs the transit agency.
just casual sexism to undermine a woman’s knowledge

Wilson took a 1,976-vote lead over Bruce Harrell. With a maximum of 1,320 ballots remaining, it is mathematically impossible for Harrell to catch up.

The American political class hasn't yet grasped how radicalized the parents of young children have become since COVID. We voted in Mayors Mamdani and Wilson. Ms. Rachel is our patron saint. We take our kids to protests. We're done.
