Therefore on top of their other differences (Zahilay did not endores Harrell, appears to be a stronger advocate for Public Defenders, etc), I will be voting for Girmay Zahilay, in part, because I believe it will help create a stronger King County Council in 2026 and beyond! #seaelex

I also believe that Zahilay would have a high "Election WAR", but not as high as Balducci's. If Zahilay were to win the executive race, I'm of the belief that the new council member would be strong on progressive and transit issues. King County D2 is the most progressive district in the county.

I'm of the belief that Balducci has an extremely high "election WAR" on progressive and transit issues for the wealthy suburban district she represents. If Balducci becomes Executive, the likely replacement will be worse on progressive and transit issues than her.

I think that WAR is a term that we could utilize in this election. This idea has been explored on a national level here: split-ticket.org/2025/01/15/o...

Wins above replacement (WAR) is a common baseball stat. A WAR value is claimed to be the # of additional wins his team has achieved above the number of expected team wins if that player were traded for a replacement-level player: a player who may be added to the team for minimal cost and effort.
